Woke up this morning with asty in my eye. It got me thinking of those old wifes tales-rub a wedding ring on it. Anyone got any more?(NOT JUST FOR STYS)

Nasty things, poor you Cold used teabags, really are great for a sty Kathleen

You "P" in a basin and bathe your eye with it........ OOOOOPS! Sorry, that's for chilblains....

Jay I know it's an old wives tale, but in the past whenever I did get a sty, I always rubbed it with a gold ring. You can buy Golden Eye ointment which also works pretty well. Lynda

I used to get a lot of styes as a child. Used to bathe with water and use golden eye ointment. Maybe you could do with some extra vitamins - vitamin B?? worth asking your doctor or chemist.

hubby suffered terribly with them as a child and his dad got him some blood purifying tablets from the chemist he hasnt had one since but cold teabags work wonders,i always used them when my kids got conjunctivitis.i dont think you can beat them my daughter in law now uses them for my grandson when he has hayfever because without fail he gets eye infections at the same time susie

Hi Not for stys, but for warts. My daughter suffered terriblly with warts over all her fingers, she must have had dozens of the things.. She was told by my Dutch mother-in-law to pee over her hands every morning for 2 weeks, and they would be gone. Needless to say, she was horrified at the thought, but even more horrified at keeping the warts, so reluctantly she did it. Guess what, the warts all disappeared...honest...and she has never suffered with them since! Can you believe it! Lisa xx

my daughter gets them too we used my gold wedding ring plus a teaspoon but couldnt remeber if the teaspoon was meant to be hot or cold so used both the sty went .....

Savoy cabbage leaves down your bra to ease discomfort for breastfeeding mums. Still recommended by a very wise midwife I know. Angela

One of the Mums at school told me about the gold ring thing...It worked for me!! Love Sarah.
