Eye cyst natural treatment
A cyst is a small packet of fluid that sticks to the upper or lower eyelid. It may be caused due to a variety of reasons, but all cures aim at the same thing – dispersing the pouch of fluid and fighting any chance of an infection occurring. The best way to start taking care of a cyst is to clean it at least five to seven times a day with a mild, herbal, non medicated soap.
Since it is the eye area and soap may be an irritant, you could also use a mild baby shampoo instead. After this, a warm compress can be applied to the eye. This may sting a bit at first, but you will get used to it after doing it about twice or thrice.
A popular home remedy is to put breast milk in the eye about six to eight times a day. However, since this option is not available most of the time, you can use some chilled evaporated milk to wash your eyes.
Painful but no less effective is putting a drop of onion juice in the eye every other hour or so. Applying honey to the affected eye will also help remove the cyst, but this will also sting a lot. In order to soothe the sting, you may add rose water to the eye after you apply the honey.
