Say Goodbye to Eye Styes: Discover Natural Remedies to Relieve Discomfort and Speed Healing
Green Tea Bags
Green tea’s antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties can help reduce swelling. Steep a tea bag in hot water, cool it down slightly, then place it on your eye for 10 minutes. Repeat twice daily.
Aloe Vera Gel
Aloe vera’s cooling and antibacterial properties make it a great natural healer. Apply a small drop of fresh aloe gel around (not inside) the affected area and rinse gently after 20 minutes.
Turmeric Paste
Mix a pinch of turmeric with warm water to make a paste. Apply gently on the outer eyelid area using a clean cotton swab — turmeric fights infection and soothes inflammation.
Coriander Seed Wash
Boil coriander seeds in water, strain, and let it cool. Use the water to gently rinse your eye. It’s an old Ayurvedic remedy known to relieve pain and reduce swelling.
While styes are rarely serious, they can cause pain, swelling, and watery eyes — and sometimes even affect your vision if left untreated.
Extra Care Tips
- Always wash your hands before touching your eyes.
- Avoid makeup and contact lenses until the stye is fully healed.
- Don’t pop or squeeze the stye — it can spread infection.
- Use a clean pillowcase and towel daily during recovery.
