Blue Ternate (Clitoria ternatea), also known as Butterfly Pea, has been traditionally used for various health benefits, including eye health. Here's how you might prepare and use it safely as an eye rinse or compress, but always consult a healthcare professional first:
Preparation of Blue Ternate Eye Solution
Ingredients:
3–5 fresh Blue Ternate flowers
1 cup of clean, distilled or boiled water
Steps:
1. Wash the flowers thoroughly to remove any dirt or contaminants.
2. Boil the water and let it cool slightly (to a lukewarm temperature).
3. Add the flowers to the warm water and let them steep for 5–10 minutes. The water will turn blue.
4. Strain the solution to remove any flower particles.
For Eye Rinse
Allow the solution to cool completely.
Use a sterilized eye dropper or an eye cup to gently rinse your eyes with the solution.
For Eye Compress
Soak a clean cotton pad or cloth in the solution.
Place it over your closed eyelids for 5–10 minutes.
⚠️Precautions
✳️Ensure all materials (flowers, water, dropper, etc.) are clean and sterilized to avoid introducing bacteria into the eyes.
✳️Do not use if you have severe eye irritation, allergies, or an eye infection.
✳️If irritation or discomfort occurs, discontinue use immediately and consult a doctor.
✳️This is a traditional remedy and not a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment.
