i boiled tea water then put two tea bags in the water and fully saturated them. then after a few seconds. pull one tea bag out drain as much water as you can out of it and place on infected eye. when it gets cold use second tea bag and put cold one back into water. do this for a while. it clears up pretty quickly. recommened to keep doing it for a few days to make sure it really is cleared up.
For my 3 babies, anytime they had sticky eyes, each time I gave them a breast feed I would squirt some of the milk into both eyes. Let them rest in your arms for a few minutes with a little pool of breastmilk in their eyes. It doesn't bother them at all and will clear up simply after a 2-3 days. If you cannot squirt the milk directly into babies eyes then use a cotton ball with breast milk on it to wipe the eyes. I always found it much quicker to clear up using the breast milk directly into the eyes though.
My mom always used cold brewed coffee when I was little and I now use it for my kids. Dip a cotton ball in the coffee and then put it on the affected eye and squeeze a couple of drops inside the eye. Do this 2-3 times a day for about 2-3 days.This always gets rid of pink eye.Hope this helps!
Use cold milk as a fomentation. do it about thrice a day n it really works.
My 21 month has pink eye as of yesterday. The antibiotic drops that the doctor prescribed not only cost 60 dollars but are useless as well since they irritate her eyes further. I made a lot of research and found that soft lens solution (SOFT not hard) that contains boric acid is an amzing bacteria killer and cures pink eye in 2 days. I tried it on her, I was skepticall ofcourse, but her eyes are now clear and she doesnt have the discharge that makes her eyes sticky. I did not buy the solution from the pharmacy but made it home by boiling 32 oz or a quart water and adding one teaspoon of boric acid powder. It works wonders! It is also very helpfull for yeast infections in women if you add powder to a 00 size veggie capsule and use one a night for one week. Goodluck!
Rub gold (preferrably a wedding ring) on the stye. Pain will almost instantly disappear. Stye should be gone within 24 hours
My grandmother always used breast milk for conjuctivitis and ear aches and it works. Two drops would do the trick.
make black coffee absolute,ly no sugar and soak a cotton ball with coffee and clean around eyes then put 2 drops of the coffee in the affected eye. Repeat 2 to 3 times a day, your eyes should be better after 2nd day.
Green leaves Mint soothes the mind
Put four drops of eyebright tincture (also called Euphrasia)in cold spring water (about 4oz), then dip a soft papertowel (I prefer Viva)into the water and place over eyes, being sure it actually touches the eyes. Same mixture can be applied directly to eyes with a cotton ball or paper towel to remove any sticky gunk. Always wash hands after treating conjunctivitis.
