Safe and Simple Ways to Treat That Stye on Your Eye

7. Coriander Seeds

This treatment method should be used in conjunction with at least one other method on this list (i.e., tea bag or warm compress, coconut oil, chamomile leaves, turmeric, apple cider vinegar, or tea tree oil). Take a small cooking pot and add one tablespoon of coriander seeds to two cups of water and bring it to a boil. Once the water is boiling, remove the pot from the stove and let the seeds soak for an additional thirty minutes. Next, strain the seeds out and let the water cool. When the water is cool, use a clean cloth or makeup pad to apply it to the stye and surrounding area. Complete this process up to three times per day.

8. Sea Salt

Saltwater has been used for thousands of years as a natural remedy for skin ailments. The minerals in sea salt help soothe and heal inflamed, irritated, and even oozing skin. Salt can also kill off harmful bacteria and promote healthy cell regeneration. For styes, salt may reduce skin redness and swelling and accelerate healing. Although using sea salt is ideal for this purpose, any salt can be effective. Mix one teaspoon of salt with one cup of filtered water and stir it well. Dip a portion of a clean cloth or makeup pad into the water and gently press it against the stye and surrounding area. Repeat this every two hours until the stye goes away
