Oil of oregano is a natural antibiotic that, in some cases, can be more powerful than medical antibiotics. A natural antibiotic may be required for treating a recurring stye, which may stem from an infection. Oil of oregano does not kill off bad bacteria and is safe to take. Simply place three drops of oil of oregano under the tongue, holding it there for as long as possible and for up to five minutes before swallowing it. Repeat this procedure three times per day until the stye is healed. Alternatively, place three drops of oil of oregano in one tablespoon of water and consume the mixture.

12. A Warm Compress

Perhaps the easiest and most widely used treatment for styes is a warm compress. This simple remedy is very effective for treating styes and is recommended by doctors. It quickly reduces swelling and heals styes within four days at most. Create a warm compress by heating water on a stove or with an electric kettle until it is warm. Pour some water into a cup or bowl. Soak a clean washcloth or makeup pad in the water, wring out any excess, and place the cloth or pad onto the affected eye. Relax while the warm cloth or pad sits on the stye. Repeat this process as many times as needed.
