Does putting a tea bag on your eye really help get rid of a stye?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Only if it is warm: Warm soaks do increase circulation and help your body's natural infection-fighting mechanism to work better. I would suggest a warm wash clothe over a tea bag. Use the tea bag to make tea instead.
