Essential oils: a good idea for treating styes
At Aroma-Zone, we prefer not to use essential oils on the eye. While they theoretically contain anti-infectious and anti-inflammatory molecules effective against styes, their potency could exacerbate the irritation.
Therefore, opt for hydrosols instead, as they have no contraindications. While cornflower is a must-have, other varieties are also highly recommended for the natural treatment of styes: Organic Fine Lavender Hydrosol from Provence, Organic Roman Chamomile Hydrosol, or Organic Calendula Hydrosol.
