Help I Have A Nasty Sty :( OMG i have a very painful sty on my lower lid. anyone have any home remedes for me? gosh it hurts:( my whole cheek under my eye is swelled.ive been putting hot cloths on it. thanks in advance for the tips:) |
I've never had one but my mom rubbed a gold ring on my brothers when he got one - something in the gold was susposed to heal a sty - Weird huh ?? (wash the ring first of course !!) it's worth a try if you have any real gold jewelery in the house. |
When that happens, I usually do the wet, hot cloths... I just did a quick search for you, and came up with this site: http://www.herbal-home-remedies.org/...s/eye-stye.htm This site says: Place a handful of fresh parsley in a soup bowl. Pour a cup of boiling water over the parsley and let it steep for 10 minutes. Soak a clean washcloth in the hot parsley water, lie down, put the cloth on your closed lids and relax for 15 minutes. Repeat the procedure before bedtime. Parsley water is also good for eliminating puffiness around the eyes. Drink dandelion tea to rid the body of bacteria that can lead to sties. Moisten a regular (nonherbal) tea bag, put it on the closed eye with the stye, bandage it in place and leave the bandage on overnight. Hopefully, by morning it will be "bye-bye stye." Wet a tea bag. Place over your eye for 10 to 15 min. The tea will draw the sty. You can use any type of tea bag. Boil a handful of acacia leaves in two cups of water to make a decoction and apply it as compress on the eyelids Go for the Gold Rub the eye stye three times with a gold wedding ring. When we started compiling information for this book, we decided not to use any silly-sounding, superstition-based remedies. This remedy for stye, however, comes from so many reputable sources that it must have some credibility. Fortunately for us, but unfortunately for research purposes, neither of us has had a stye since we began working on this web site, so we haven't been able to test the wedding-ring remedy ourselves. Banish Stye with Bancha Roasted-bancha leaves are used to make a popular Japanese tea-these tea bags are available at most US health food stores. Steep a tea bag in hot water for 10 minutes and add 1 teaspoon of sea salt (also available at health food stores as well as supermarkets). Saturate a cotton pad in the lukewarm liquid and apply it to your closed eye, keeping it there for 10 minutes at a time, three times a day. In addition to-or instead of-the roasted blancha tea bag remedy, dab on some castor oil several times throughout the day until the sty disappears. |
A stye is a bacterial infection within an oil gland on the edge of the eyelid. Because the tissues of the eye become inflamed from the infection, the dtye takes on the appearance of a small pimple. The pimple gradually comes to a head, opens and drains. Prepare raspberry leaf tea and use it as an eyewash to alleviate styes. Recurring styes are often a sign of vitamin A deficiency. |
A very hot cloth usually works for me. It kind of becomes like a pimple. I've also tried the hot tea bag thing & that works pretty good, too. |
I use to work for an Opthamologist when I was in college and we use to get patients with stys (?) all the time. The warm compreses usually work but you have to do it consistently three times a day or more if you can. If it doesn't seem to get better then you have to get it removed. They do it right in the office and you do not have to come back for follow up. Many people rather get it removed then deal with the sty for a week. Good luck to you. I am praying that yours goes away quickly:D |
Just use a wet wash cloth, wet it with very hot tap water, and put it over your eye. Do this for 20 minutes as many times a day as you can. The last and only time I had a sty, it was day 3 before I figured out what it was. I think I only needed to use the hot pack twice before it drained. I understand how it feels. Take care! |
I've always heard to rub a penny on it guess it's similar to the gold that V said. Always worked for me - gone by the next morning. |
sty thanks everyone for your suggestions, but i couldnt take it any longer, as the day went on, it really selled and became very red and painful, my whole inside of my eye lid was red and swelled, so i went to redi med and i have allergies to the cotton tree in my neighbors yard, so it went into an infection in my tisues and into my face, he called it conjivitis ( spelling ?) and put drops in and it felt better for a bit , also an antibiocti i cant even see out of that eye so im typing with one eye:( hope it feels better tom:( |
Awww.... good thing you went to get it checked. Hope it get's better soon! In the mean time just pretend you're a pirate! Ahoy! |
