10 Home Remedies for Styes
Stye Home Remedy #3: Cold Cucumber
Application of low temperature is another easy home remedy for styes that works in a similar way to the heat from a warm compress. The low temperature can be provided by slices of refrigerated cucumber or potato. Cool temperature and moisture stimulate drainage from the eye stye. This reduces swelling, itchiness and pain.
Wash a cucumber or potato and place it in the refrigerator to cool down. Cut slices of the vegetable and place it over the eye with stye. When the slice of cucumber or potato starts warming up, remove it and place a cool slice on the eye. Keep the eye covered with the cool slices for about ten minutes. You can repeat this treatment several times in a day as required.
