10. Make Turmeric Paste

Medical News Today

Turmeric is another amazing spice that does not only add color and flavor to your favorite recipes, it also has many scientifically proven health benefits. This medicinal herb contains the compound curcumin which is a powerful antioxidant with anti-inflammatory effects. Turmeric has been used for centuries as an effective and safe natural remedy for styes.

You can make turmeric paste by mixing one teaspoon of turmeric powder with one cup of boiled water and a teaspoon of coconut oil or castor oil. Make sure the paste is cool enough to touch the skin before using a clean washcloth or makeup pad to apply the paste to the infected area. Leave the paste for 15 minutes before rinsing it off with warm water. Repeat up to four times daily until the stye heals. If the stye is too close to your eye or if you have an internal stye, you may make tea out of the turmeric powder instead.
