Homeopathic Eye Infection

Eye infections can be uncomfortable, painful and cause permanent damage if not treated. Traditional medicines can be effective, but there are several homeopathic treatments that can work wonders, as well.

Good Hygiene

Good hygiene is essential, as it helps prevent and minimize infections. Simply rinsing the eye with an herbal wash and water can help clean away impurities that can aggravate an already existing infection.

Eyebright

Eyebright, or euphrasia officinalis, is effective in reducing the redness and swelling that occurs with many eye infections. It can also help reduce the itch and irritation of conjunctivitis.

Chamomile

Chamomile is an herb that can be used as a substitute for eyebright to help reduce swelling. It can also help reduce sties on the eyelids and decrease the pain of eye trauma.

Aphis

Aphis is effective when the eyelids become stiff and puffy and can also be used to treat eye sties. Aphis is made from the body of the honeybee and is used in treating symptoms that resemble that of a bee sting.

Belladonna

Belladonna is effective when eye infection symptoms flare up without warning, and it helps with sudden pain and redness of the eyes, as well.
