How to Manage a Stye

Chamomile essential oil from Neal’s Yard Remedies, next to bowl of warm water and cotton wool pads.

We have had quite a few styes in our household this year. Bathe with a warm chamomile compress for rapid healing.

We put 1-2 drops of chamomile essential oil in a small bowl of warm water and then soaked cotton wool in the water to make the compress.

Then relax back and place over the eye for a few minutes. We repeated this daily for a few days and the stye disappeared.

Don’t forget the mental/emotional aspect of styes which might suggest looking at the world through angry eyes. From a Chinese Medicine point of view, anger manifests in the Liver which opens out into the eyes, so this all ties in.

Spend time checking into yourself by meditating or breathwork.

Chamomile is gentle and calming. This same eye compress can be used for itchy eyes, red and sore eyes, hay fever.

It’s always handy to have Roman Chamomile and Lavender essential oils in your cabinet for first aid/little emergencies.
