Honey & Chamomile Home Remedy for Pink Eye
There's something very Dark Ages about "pink eye," perhaps because it produces a very unhealthy looking eye and can spread like wildfire, especially among the young who are often in close proximity and may be touching their eyes. Fortunately, with my home remedy for pink eye, this problem can be treated.
Also called conjunctivitis, pink involves an inflammation of the thin covering of the white of the eye as well as the inside of the eyelids. While it can have many causes, typically it's viral conjunctivitis, or a highly contagious infection that is caused by a variety of viruses.
Before you try to deal with pink eye on your own, however, I recommend highly that you be careful with the skin around the eyes as well as anything that may get near your eyes. Our eyes and the skin around them are fragile, so they require extra care.
Although these ingredients — like chamomile and raw honey or Manuka honey for pink eye— in this home remedy for pink eye are very mild, if you notice any changes that are causing irritation, discontinue use of the ingredients in this recipe immediately. Since bacteria can form in products, make small amounts that last no more than three days to prevent additional bacteria from getting into the eye area.
Honey combined with herbs can provide significant relief of pink eye, as honey has antimicrobial properties while chamomile, fennel and calendula aid in soothing.
