Today I intend to show you how to get rid of a super nasty thing.
I named the stye .
You know, it's the thing that starts to scratch the eye and turns into a red pimple.
So it's true that it's not contagious, but what a pain to bear.
Well, to get rid of it easily and effectively, I have compiled the 12 best natural remedies.
And I who often developed styes, I can tell you that these home remedies really work! Watch:
Before revealing the miracle remedies for styes, let's just take a 1min look at what it is.
A stye is a red bump that forms on the outer edge of the eyelid.
It's kind of like a button.
Be aware that the eyelids have many tiny sebaceous glands, especially around the eyelashes.
Dead skin, dirt or the accumulation of fatty substances can clog these orifices.
And when one of the glands is blocked, bacteria develop and cause the appearance of the stye.
The symptoms are then as follows:
- Pain and swelling
- Increased tear production
- Crust that forms around the eyelid
- Itching
Do not crush, puncture or touch a stye.
It may sound tempting, but squeezing it releases pus and spreads infection.
Styes usually go away on their own within 7-10 days.
If your stye isn't painful, it may be a chalazion.
Treatments for chalazions and styes are similar.
However, the chalazion takes longer to heal.
In any case, the idea is obviously to speed up the healing process.
So follow the guide:
I'll tell you.
The simplest solutions are often the most effective.
And one of the most effective ways to treat a stye is to apply a simple warm compress .
The heat helps bring the pus to the surface and dissolve it. Ditto for fatty substances.
This heat therefore helps the stye to drain naturally.
In addition, the method to apply is super simple.
Wet a clean washcloth with lukewarm water (we said lukewarm, so not too hot).
Then wring the cloth so that it is damp and not dripping.
Place it gently on your eye for about 5-10 min.
Above all, do not press too hard and do not try to pierce the stye.
Do this 3-4 times a day.
1st obvious advice.
Avoid applying harsh synthetic chemicals when cleansing the eye area.
Use a hypoallergenic, non-irritating product.
According to the experts:
"The skin around the eyes is much thinner than the rest of the face.
Therefore, you must be very careful with the products you apply to their contours".
It is therefore recommended to use a product like Ocusoft specially designed for this kind of problem.
Why ? Because it is effective against bacteria commonly found on the eyelids.
And in addition, its formula effectively kills 7 kinds of bacteria.
You can also choose an alcohol-free baby shampoo and mix it with a little warm water.
Use it with a clean cotton swab or washcloth to gently cleanse your eyelids.
You can do this every day until the stye is gone.
This eyelid cleaning is important because it also helps prevent future infections.
Finally, another option is to use a saline solution.
It promotes drainage, destroys bacterial strains and prevents red eyes.
You may not believe me, but know that a hot tea bag can replace a compress!
Black tea is also the best.
It reduces swelling and has antibacterial properties.
Add boiled water to a cup, drop the tea bag in it and steep for 1 min.
Wait for the tea to cool sufficiently then place the sachet on your eye for 5 to 10 min.
Use a different tea bag per eye.
According to experts, you can use black tea in the form of a compress 2 times a day.
This reduces swelling as well as all the discomfort caused by the stye.
If you have a stye, avoid wearing makeup.
Make-up irritates the eyes even more and delays the process of healing.
Plus, you can transfer bacteria to your makeup tools and spread the infection to the other eye!
Also regularly wash your utensils (brushes...) and throw away eye products that are more than 3 months old.
If you wear contact lenses, replace them with your glasses until the stye heals.
Bacteria can indeed infiltrate the lenses and spread the infection.
Finally, remember to change contact lenses when the stye has healed to avoid a new infection.
One trick that works really well when you have styes is to gently massage your eyelids.
Massage them with eyelid wipes (with clean hands!) to promote drainage .
Once the stye is drained, keep the area clean and avoid touching your eyes.
Stop the massage if you have pain.
You're probably wondering how gold can help you get rid of a stye?
Well know that it's a very effective grandmother's remedy!
Many studies have fully validated this.
Gold and silver have real health benefits.
There are also drops of trace elements ionized with copper and silver.
These drops are used in case of bacterial eye infections.
And to come back to the stye, the method to make it disappear with gold is as follows:
Heat a gold ring, place it in a cloth and gently wipe over the eye.
Do this several times a day to effectively treat the infection.
Green clay is useful in many situations.
It is recommended for example for pimples on baby's bottom or heat rashes.
You see what I mean ? Pimples... Stye.
Because of its anti-inflammatory and purifying properties , green clay also effectively treats styes.
Not only does it remove the impurities present under the eyelid, but it also relieves.
Its use is also very simple.
Close your eye and put a small amount of green clay directly on the stye.
Wait a few minutes for the product to take effect then rinse gently.
Do this several times a day so that the stye disappears quickly.
Finally, to multiply the benefits, combine the clay powder with the infusions below.
Wetting the eyes is a good way to soothe inflammation and cure the disease.
For this, you can soak a compress with an infusion of Roman chamomile.
Pass this compress several times a day on the eye to heal it.
A blueberry bath is also an interesting solution. It soothes and helps evacuate pus.
So when faced with a stye, use one of these solutions, or even alternate the 2 for even more efficiency!
And the infusion-based possibilities don't stop there.
Red vine leaves or eyebright (top of the plant) also work well.
The benefits of thyme are very numerous.
This plant is both antiseptic, antiviral and antibacterial.
Suffice to say that thyme infusion has all the components to treat an internal stye.
In a cup of very hot water, put 2 sprigs of thyme and let steep for 10 min.
Cool, wet a sterile compress in the infusion then put it on your eyelid for 5 minutes.
Do this 4 times a day for it to be effective.
Another solution.
Emit the thyme directly into a compress then wet with very hot water.
Place the compress on your eye for 1 hour 2 times a day.
A stye can also be treated with houseleek leaves (take 3 or 4).
Crush them and put everything directly on the eye to be treated.
For those who don't know, houseleek is healing, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic.
It can therefore also be used as an infusion.
Boil water and pour 10 or 15 g of houseleek into it.
Wet a simple cotton ball with this solution and place it on the eye for about twenty minutes.
Eucalyptus globulus hydrosol is a powerful remedy against conjunctivitis and styes.
The advantage is above all that it can be used in children and pregnant women.
Pour a few drops on a cotton ball and put it on your eye for a few minutes.
Do this 2 times a day.
You can find this product in specialized stores or here.
As soon as the first symptoms of a stye appear, treat the problem immediately with homeopathic remedies. .
For example, you can take 3 granules of Pulsatilla 9 CH 3 times a day (for 10 days).
In case of glued eyelids, take Pulsatilla 7 CH instead. (2 granules per day).
Ripening the bud faster is also a good strategy to adopt.
For this, take 2 granules of Hepar Sulfuris 7 CH .
In case of persistent stye, go to your doctor's office.
He may prescribe an antibiotic cream for bacterial infections…
Or give you a steroid injection to reduce the swelling in case of inflammation.
And for an internal stye or one affecting your vision, only a doctor can drain it.
He obviously knows how to do it, since it's his job!
