Guest guest Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Please tell the rest of us too. I just had someone ask me about stye's (sp) a few days ago. I forgot to ans. their question , but i would've said boil water and use sterile gauze , cotton or other cloth to wash the area with. scrub the lash area as best you can , and if you have been losing lashes some mild soap should be placed on the cloth to wash the area with. this will clear up the problem if it stems from mites. If it is a matter of your body throwing off toxins then the sterlie water and cloth should be used to wash the area sans soap, and used as a compress. Make sure not to contaminate the water by dipping the gauze or fingers in the sterile water, and by using a fresh gauze for each application of the compress. You can also use any of the following herbs in your water to make the compress or eye wash. Use as often as you like, but be very careful not to let the water drip into the other eye. goldenseal, eyebright, and camomile are just a few that can be used with success, These are method's that I grew up using, was taught by Mom, and have worked for generations. I am curious as to what the general etiology is, and the Chinese thought about why they appear and how to treat them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
