  Conjunctivitis? Make A Home Remedy For Pink Eye
  Ways to quickly and easily treat pink eye from home.

  Pink eye, or conjunctivitis, is a common condition caused by a few different factors. Pink eye may happen due to stress to the small nerves in the eye, or due to a bacterial or viral infection.

  Infectious pink eye can spread like a wildfire to other people. Since so many people get this disease, it is a short step to wanting an effective home remedy for pink eye. There are a number of common methods to get rid of this condition.

  Homeopathic Remedy

  The homeopathic remedy Calcarea carbonicum, used once per day for three days, can help clear up some cases, particularly in infants who are suffering from other symptoms, like constipation and heavy sweating.

  On the other hand, if you’ve got severe symptoms that came out of nowhere, a remedy like Belladonna might be more appropriate.

  Give Your Eye A Bath

  Eye baths are a common home remedy for pink eye, too. There are a number of different infusions and solutions used to combat the condition. Commonly, they are either applied as eyewash or with cotton balls.

  Remember to always use a fresh eye bath solution and fresh clean tools to apply it, since the bacteria that cause pink eye breeds quickly and are extremely contagious.

  Some eye baths include a mixture of eyebright or goldenseal, three times per day, eyewashes containing a teaspoon of baking soda to a cup of water or a tablespoon of boric acid to one quart of water (be sure to use sterile water), and warm or tepid milk.

  Drop Your Way To Clear Eyes

  Other remedies are applied directly in to the eye as eye drops. Colloidal silver is a natural antibiotic that has been used for over a century.

  Honey has antibacterial properties, and if it is unpasteurized, antibiotic properties. It will soothe the injured eye and help it heal if applied as an eye drop.

  One drop of Castor oil in the eye three times per day is also said to be an effective home remedy for pink eye.

  Can You Smell That?

  Aromatherapists suggest the use of warm compresses containing either chamomile, lavender, or rose oil to fight pink eye.

  Use a few drops on a warm cloth and apply the cloth to the eyes until it cools. These oils are believed to promote healing and help draw infection out of the eye. They can usually be obtained at a natural foods store.

  Tea Time

  Since tea contains bioflavonoids that can help to ward off infection and reduce inflammation, many people use moist or partially used teabags as a home remedy for pink eye by placing the tea bag over their eye.

  Eyebright tea, green tea, or black tea can all be used for this purpose. Repeat this treatment several times a day. Teas containing tannic acid, such as green and black teas, are also particularly good for soothing the annoying itch that usually comes with pink eye.
