Remedies and cure for sty in the eye -

A sty is a bacterial infection on the edge of your eye lid, this infection will infect the hair follicle of your eye lash and can also cause a blocked or infected tear duct. This infection can be made worse by itching and rubbing your eyes, which is very temping to do when you have a sty. When you start to feel a sty come on, since they take 3 to 7 days to be to the point where they are painful, you should start paying special attention to washing your eyes with warm water, especially the eye lids.


If you apply a hot compress before you even see the sty, but can feel it coming on, you can avoid a sty all together.

If you can’t avoid a sty, or it caught you by surprise, you can easily cure the problem by washing your face at least three times per day paying special attention to the eye lids and by applying 100% pure aloe vera to the eye lid with a cotton swab. This will not only help clear up the infection, it will also provide instant relief from the burning, itching, and pain of the infection of the eye lid.
