Best Answer

Stye eye swelling can be calmed by a tea compress. Simply cool very dark colored black tea to a room temperature, soak a wash cloth or peice of cotton and softly rub it on the swell. You can also hold it on for a few minutes for extra exfoliation. Dark, warm, black tea is also good for cleaning out eyes.

Because puffiness under your eyes comes from fluid accumulation, you need to counter what is causing it.

Puffy eyes can be caused by:

  • Overconsumption of salt
  • Allergies
  • Sinus problems
  • Dehydration
  • Lack of sleep
  • Stress
  • Crying
  • Aging
  • Genetics

Depending on the cause, the recommended solutions include:

  • Using eye drops for irritation caused by allergies, if appropriate
  • Drinking ample fluid to prevent dehydration
  • Reducing salt in your diet
  • Eating potassium-rich foods to flush out excess fluids
  • Splashing cold water over the area
  • Getting plenty of sleep and rest

What is a stye how is it caused and how can you heal it?

A stye is a "pimple" on the skin surrounding the eye, particularly the eyelid. It is an infection, but I have found that drinking lots of water can help you get rid of a stye easily. Another way: If you put a teabag (wet with hot water) on the stye, it completely helps the swelling of the stye. Check out the 'Related Links' below for more information.

What happens if you pop a stye in your eye?

No! Do not even try to do this!If you attempt popping the stye, you will either hurt the sensitvie eye skin or infect the stye. In order to get rid of the stye, carefully cut a peice of garlic unil you can see the wet part, then SLOWLY rub it on your stye. This method has been used for centuries. It really works! Apply 3-4 times a day until the stye is gone. MUST BE CONSISTENT. Doing it randomly one or two times won't help. But be careful, if the garlic gets INSIDE your eye it will BURN. *just an addition - if you don't trust garlic use hot water to damp a rag apply for 15mins several times a day.
