An
Eye Stye (sty) is a common infection of the hair follicle of an
eyelash. Due to eye styes it causes a sore similar to a pimple in the
gland at the edge of the eyelid which leads to blockage of the hair
follicles that may become swollen. It is develops when a gland at the
edge of the eyelid becomes infected. This disease does not affect the
vision. This condition is seen more often in children than in adults.
Eye styes can be treated at home by applying a very warm, wet, clean
wash cloth to the tender area. This moist heat application should be
done about four times a day, for about ten minutes at each treatment.
This will aid in the supporation of the stye. Supporation is the
forming of a head on an infection. The leukocytes (or white blood
cells), travel to the infection to fight it. The heat from the warm,
moist compresses speeds up the leukocytes' travel, thus fascilitating
the forming of the head on the stye. Once the stye ruptures, the
pressure is relieved and the pain and swelling subsides. Never put your
fingers in your eye. Your hands are full of germs. If you see a doctor,
he may prescribe some antibiotic cream for the stye.
You should be taken 1 teaspoon of turmeric in 2 cups of water until it
reduces in half. Cool and strain 4-5 times through a fine muslin. You

stye.

leaves in two cups of water to make a decoction and then you should

The best way to prevent sties is simply to wash your hands regularly
and avoiding touching your eyes. It's especially important for
children, who may rub their eyes when tired or under stress, to be
taught to wash their hands after going to the bathroom or finishing an
activity. For people with normal immune systems, sties aren't terribly
contagious but they can spread from person to person through touch.
Boil a teaspoon of coriander seeds with a cupful of water for a while,
like an herbal tea preparation. Use this to wash the eyes 3-4 times a
day.
Surgical drainage of the stye may also be necessary if the stye is not responding to treatment.
Guava leaves, warmed and placed on a warm damp cloth, and then used as a compress; reduce the redness, pain and swelling.
There is no better substitute than warm compression for the treatment
of eye stye. Apply this for 10-15 minutes 3-4 times a day for several
days in a row. This is a guaranteed pain reliever and also helps in the
formation of a head of the pimple. Once this ruptures and the fluid
inside drains out, you get healed.
Gently scrub the eyelid with tap water or with a mild, nonirritating
soap or shampoo (such as baby shampoo). This may help with drainage.
Close your eyes as you scrub so you do not injure your eyes. A good
remedy for eye stye.
