  • Waking up with puffy eyes? It's more than just a morning annoyance. This common issue can stem from genetics, age, lifestyle choices like salty diets

The article from Times of India discusses the common issue of puffy eyes, detailing its causes and treatments.

Additionally, natural remedies like cucumber slices or tea bags, and over-the-counter antihistamines for allergies, can provide relief.
