    Thanks for the wonderful information, this article seems to cover quite a bit of natural, easily procured remedies. I really liked the spoon idea. I’ve thought about applying cold to my eyes before (because I have heard before that they help with bags), but I have never thought of using a cold spoon!! much better than an ice cube!
