10 Tips And Treatments On Styes

4. Use Coconut Oil on Affected Area

Coconut oil has been established as a natural and effective source of antioxidants, which protects the body’s cells against free radicals, while also being highly antimicrobial, meaning it can be used to prevent and treat infections in both humans and animals. So when it comes to styes, coconut oil can be beneficial since it can help lessen the inflammation, while also being antifungal, with no need to worry about further infecting the area. Just place a few drops of coconut oil on either a cotton ball or a pad and lightly rub it over the affected eyelid. Leave it on for around 15 minutes then gently wash off using warm water and mild soap. This can be done between three to five times a day for best results.
