The eyes are the most revealing part of a woman's age, and many people have bad eye habits. They know that this can harm their eyes, but few people actually make changes. Are red bloodshot eyes a sign of illness?
[Are red bloodshot eyes a sign of illness?]
Bloodshot eyes may indicate high blood pressure.
The conjunctiva of the eyes is filled with capillaries, and once these blood vessels rupture, congestion occurs.
Ophthalmologists remind us that conjunctival hemorrhage usually has no obvious cause, but if you have severe hypertension or platelet deficiency, the conjunctiva may also become congested. Generally speaking, occasional bloodshot eyes should not be overly alarmed, as conjunctivitis or staying up late can also cause bloodshot eyes.

Section One
Massage the eye acupoints at the earlobes. Use the fingertips of both hands' thumbs and index fingers to pinch the acupoints in the middle of the earlobes, with the remaining three fingers naturally curved and close together. With the rhythm of the music, knead the acupoints with the thumbs and index fingers, while the toes of both feet do gripping exercises. Do four beats for each eight beats.
Section Two
Massage the temples and scrape the upper eyelids. Use the fingertips' ridged surface of the thumbs to press on the temples on both sides, while the other fingers naturally relax and bend. With the rhythm of the music, first knead the temples with the thumbs, doing four circles for each beat. Then, keep the thumbs still and use the inner side of the second joint of the index fingers to slightly exert force, scraping from the eyebrows to the end of the eyebrows, scraping twice for each two beats. Alternate between these two actions, doing four beats for each eight beats.
Section Three
Massage the four white acupoints. Use the fingertips' ridged surface of the index fingers to press on the acupoints on both sides, with the thumbs against the depression of the lower jaw, and the remaining fingers naturally clenched into a hollow fist. With the rhythm of the music, knead the acupoints in a rhythmic manner, doing four circles for each beat.
Section Four
Massage the wind pool acupoints. Use the fingertips' ridged surface of the index and middle fingers to press on the acupoints on both sides, while the remaining three fingers naturally relax. With the rhythm of the music, knead the acupoints in a rhythmic manner. Do four circles for each beat.
