Lavender Essential Oil the Natural Pink Eye Remedy

The itching and burning pain of pink eye can be mild if you’re able to catch it early, or it can turn you into a red-eyed gooey monster. Both suck, but I have a natural pink eye remedy that totally works!

*Lice and Pink Eye are two of the most common ailments of school-aged children and even homeschooling kids can’t escape!

We still venture out and try on hats or sunglasses at the store and push grocery carts with our bare hands. However they’re transferred, my point is everyone can get them and I have found a way to gently purge them without using harsh chemicals or avoiding overuse of antibiotics that has worked for us.

Not long ago I was that red-eyed gooey monster i mentioned earlier, so I went to the doctor and got the eye ointment and all was well that ended well. A few days later, however, my daughter Trinity complained of an itchy eye and it was a pale pink…

It said to use their Lavender essential oil . It is amazing for many reasons and uses and in this case it was a natural pink eye remedy. One drop on my finger rubbed around her eye sockets along the bone ridges- never on the thin skin directly around her eye.

Basically the closest you would get to your eye when putting on a moisturizer that specifically says to ‘keep away from eyes’. Not because the oil would harm, but because it would still sting and burn because- Public Service Announcement: You should never put things in your eye that are not made to do so!

I did this a few times the first day, then once a day for about a week even though her eye looked completely clear on the second day. I did both eyes (with a different finger for each) as a preventative measure since the one looked and felt fine and I hoped to keep it that way.

I’m not saying this is the cure, but as a natural pink eye remedy, it sure worked for us! Is there a natural essential oil remedy you have found?
