2. Green Tea Bags
Steep a green tea bag, let it cool slightly, and place it on your closed eye for 5–10 minutes.
3. Fresh Aloe Vera Gel
Apply a small amount of aloe vera gel (straight from the leaf, if possible) around the stye using a cotton swab. Rinse after 15 minutes.
Why it works: Aloe is soothing, anti-inflammatory, and helps speed up healing.
4. Turmeric Paste
Mix turmeric with a few drops of water to form a thick paste. Apply carefully around the affected area—never inside the eye. Rinse after 10 minutes.
5. Chilled Cucumber or Potato Slices
Pop some thin slices in the fridge and place them on your closed eyelid for 10–15 minutes.
Why it works: Both reduce puffiness and offer cooling, soothing relief.
6. Clove Compress
Soak cloves in warm water, dip in a clean cloth, and use as a compress.
Why it works: Cloves are natural antiseptics and also help numb mild pain.
7. Coconut Oil Massage
Warm a tiny bit of coconut oil and gently massage around the eyelid (avoid pressing directly on the stye). Wipe off after 10–15 minutes.
Why it works: Coconut oil is antibacterial, moisturizing, and calming to the skin.
