Natural Treatment for Sties in Eyes

Sties in the eyes can sometimes be of the painful variety. In this case, it is imperative to get rid of them as soon as possible. There are countless home remedies that can provide relief from these sties.


An old wive's tale dictates that a very large iron nail, or a piece of iron rubbed around the sty area will help in getting rid of it faster. Apparently, the iron helps to reduce the sty and heal the area considerably. Applying fresh garlic juice to the outer part of your sty will heal it.




You can also take a whole clove, and rub it vigorously on a marble surface with a drop of water to make a fine, thick paste. This is to be applied around the entire area of the sty. The heat from the clove will draw out the sty and heal it quickly. You must be very careful to avoid getting the paste into your eye, as this may cause serious damage to a delicate organ like the eye. This is also a remedy that may only be followed for a sty that has been around for a few days and is still showing no signs of healing. This method is considered to be an indirect cauterization of sorts. It will remove and heal the entire sty.
