20 Home Remedies To Help Relieve Pink Eye

15. Neem Leaves

This may sound new to you, but neem leaves have long been used to in traditional Asian medicine. They are chockful of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, used to treat infections, pain, and fever. Although neem leaves can be found in their pure foam, they are usually sold in powder form. You can use either the leaves or powder and boil in water for around 10 minutes. Once the water has cooled, strain it and use the strained water to rinse the affected eye area, being sure to wash it afterwards using mild soap and water. If you prefer using a compress, the strained water may also be used by dipping a clean cloth into it, and wringing out the excess liquid, placing the compress on the infected eye for around 10 minutes a few times a day.
