Herbal Remedies for Stye

A stye (hordeolum) is a bacterial infection of the gland at the base of an eyelash. After an acute infection, where a pus-filled sac develops, the stye can harden into a small cyst.

Herbal support includes immune stimulants and topical antibacterial herbs that will not irritate the eye. Also hot (4 minutes) to cold (1 minute) alternating compresses can be helpful.
