Styes are irritating and painful and every person suffering from one of these red bumps on the eyelid quickly searches for a treatment to take it away safely and fast. It is important that any treatment you try is safe, as styes are so close to the eye.
They're caused by the development of infection in a cyst that forms at the base of an eyelash.
The initial lump can become inflamed and eventually discharge pus.
In this video we are going to cover two effective home remedies that are easy to do.
The fist one is salt water
Salt has healing properties that will help your stye to go away faster. It will also reduce any pus that has gathered in the stye, which will cause the swelling to go down. You can use any type of salt, but Himalayan or sea salt are the best choices.
To use this method -
Mix 1 teaspoon of ground salt into 1 cup of filtered water and stir well
Dip a clean cloth into the water and gently apply to the stye
Repeat every couple of hours and you should see the benefits of this the next day.
The other method is using a teabag. Teabags can reduce the swelling and they have antioxidants and antibacterial properties.
You can use green tea or black tea for this treatment and since everyone has tea at home, you will not have to go out to buy any ingredients.
TO use this method -
Boil water and let it cool until you can handle it on your skin
Dip your teabag of choice into the water and apply to the affected eyelid
Hold the teabag against the eyelid firmly for 10 minutes
Repeat 5 times per day
Again the next day you should start to see a major improvement.
