I've been using ACV to treat sties for years. Bent over the sink, I put a large spoon with ACV in it, up against my CLOSED eye. I'll tilt it a bit making sure I've covered entire eye. I'll hold it there as long as I can-at least a minute. Then rinse my eyes thoroughly with water afterwards. Be careful not to get in the eye because it stings like the dickens, making you literally cry! But, as soon as you flush it out with water, the sting will be gone. To my knowledge, nothing over the counter will heal those sties that fast! Within the day, my eyes feel better. Since using this method, my sty has never gone beyond a day or grown larger! And yes, I learned to use ACV from Earth Clinic. Thank you Earth Clinic, I come to your site often! You've been my faithful doctor for years!!

Hi Beatrice sorry for the late reply. I hope this remedy has helped you in the past year. I apply the ACV whenever my eye feels irritated. Just be sure to rinse out thoroughly! Aloha!Replied by Alex from CA on 07/15/2025
Hi Julie, I just came across your comment about ACV and sties. I’m excited to try it out! I had a question though - what do you mean by you put a large spoon with ACV in it? Are you taking a large spoonful of ACV and kind of pouring it on your eye? Or you just dip the spoon in ACV, then hold it to the stye?Thank you!
Alex
