Natural Pink Eye Relief

Pink eye is a common infection of the eye that most people have had at least once in their life. In many cases, pink eye will clear up on its own and does not require medical attention. That said, to let an infection like this run its course is a luxury many of us do not have. Fortunately, there are many methods of natural pink eye relief that are quite effective.

Keeping Clean

• To try and keep the infection contained to one eye or not spread it to others avoid touching the eye that is infected. Keep the eye clean by swabbing it regularly with a cotton ball and sterile water. Warm water may also help soothe any irritation you are experiencing.

Antiseptic

• To get rid of an infection, you need an antiseptic. Honey is a natural antiseptic that many people use to clear up pink eye. Mix a few drops of honey with warm sterile water and do an eye wash with this mixture. This will sting.

Soak

• To boost the healing and to relieve the discomfort of pink eye you can use chamomile tea bags or steeped chamomile tea. Either lay the soaked tea bag on the infected eye for 10 minutes at a time or soak the infected eye in the steeped chamomile tea using an eye wash cup.
