Guest guest Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Eyebright. Make a tea out of it, wait for it to cool and use as an eye drop. Cured my kids' pink-eye. -Shelby P.S. Who the crap is saying that you don't love them because you won't poison them? IMHO whoever said that needs to be shown (or volunteer) at a battered women's shelter and see what happens when someone does not " love " you. P.S.S. How is an antibiotic supposed to help inflammation? Glenda [keeper_of_the_home] Monday, August 16, 2004 10:00 PM herbal remedies Herbal Remedies - Eye poblem Do you know what to do for an inflamed eye that has a scratch on it? The doctor told her to get an antibiotic. She says I don't love her because I won't spend 20 dollars to get the medication. Of course i love her; but I don't buy medications. Thank you for the help.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 It was my daughter who is almost 17 who said I didn't love her if I would buy her the antibiotic that she " needed " not my idea. I am allergic to antibiotics. Yours truly, Glenda--- In herbal remedies , " Shelby Blakely " <s.blakely@v...> wrote: > Eyebright. > Make a tea out of it, wait for it to cool and use as an eye drop.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 This started a couple of days ago, and it has gotten worse since. My left eye has gotten very dry, and it itches all of the time. Plus, today it has felt like my eyelids have been sticking together. My mom thiks it might be pink eye, but I'm not sure yet. I have been keeping a cold wet rag on it today, and it seems to have helped a little. Is there anything else I could do to make it feel better? This is my " good " eye, and I am legally blind in the other one. Please reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mom thinks it might be pink eye, but I'm not sure yet Colby - If this were pink eye, your eye would be red/pink. As it is not and you have the classic 'sticking' together, IF this is sticking without 'sticyness', i.e. pussy stuff, then, would suggest dry eye, that is Sjogrens. Bath in warm water, do NOT try to unstick eyelid with fingers. Get to a basin and cupped hands of warm water to initially 'unstick' eye - otherwise could cause an abrasion! (Been there and done it to myself!) Now, would suggest a check up with an opthalmologist. Needs looking at with a slit lamp to ensure nothing untoward going on. But do get it checked. Now, mostly this condition, which sounds like a 'possible' Sjogrens, is treated not with drugs but with straight warm water, and artificial tears. Get the ones without the preservative. A one-shot dose in a tiny applicator. Also can get Lubri-Lube, ditto, without the preservative. Lubri-Lube is a viscous ointment, applied at night - looks a bit like vaseline, but is not vaseline. This should see you right. But do get your eyes checked out. Best to you - Molly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Simalsan has a pink eye drop; perhaps that would help. You can find Simalsan all over now - in regular drug stores as well as health food stores. I'll also tell you how to make an eye drop that always helps me a lot. I've never needed it for pink eye, but I don't think it can hurt to try. Boil a half cup of filtered water, stir in an eighth teaspoon of goldenseal - I use goldenseal tea bags and measure out what I need. Cover this and let it sit for 15 minutes. Strain out the tea leaves; stir in an eighth teaspoon of sea salt. You can keep this a week if refrigerated, a few days if not. Once you have the goldenseal and sea salt, it's real easy to make a fresh batch when you need it.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 When I had pink-eye (after a piece of wood scratched around in there), I put a HOT wet cotton ball on it, hot as I could stand it. It took just a few times, and it cleared up. Found that remedy online. Joy , " Colby " <cbhardison wrote: > > This started a couple of days ago, and it has gotten worse since.
