Stye: Styes are due to a clogges meibomian gland (mg).The trick is to apply as much heat as possible, without burning your skin, as often as possible, as soon as stye noticed (teas help due to heat, not tea itself). If you do this 20-50 times per session (hot towel in hot water over your stye (avoid pushing on eye); re-heating when towel gets cold (like hot towel push ups), it will open the mg.

Warm compress: It's probably stys, a moderately inflamed "sweat ducts" in the eyelid. I tell my patients to get a damp wash cloth and pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds. Test it on your wrist to make sure it's not too hot. Place warm compress the closed eyelid for about5-10 minutes and re-heating as necessary. 4-6 x a day. If it does not get better in a week or gets worse go to your eye doctor.
