Tears ducts can get blocked by different causes. It is important to visit your doctor to find the cause and manage accordingly.
By massaging over the tear sac periodically and correctly
Massage works in infants only
Hello,
It is uncommon for a women of your age to have true 'blocked tear ducts', however, warm compresses over the eyes and digital massage in the area near the nose in the lower lid can help the natural flow through the naso-lacrimal duct system
You need to see an ophthalmologist to determine the cause of the blockage.
If your tear ducts are physically blocked, there is no natural remedy to unblock them, if by "naturally" you mean without medication or a surgical procedure.
See an eye specialist for a checkup and treatment. Mild blockages can be helped by massage around the tear duct.
