Conjunctivitis or commonly known as pink eye is caused due to inflammation of membrane covering white part of your eyes and the lining of inner surface of eyelids which is also called as conjunctiva.

There is nothing to panic about it as it poses no danger to your eyes but is quite irritating. The white part of the eye looks pinkish. Are pink eyes contagious? Yes and no! Allergic and chemical Conjunctivitis are not contagious but pink eyes contagious if it is due to viral or bacterial infection.

Conjunctivitis is especially common in children because illnesses spread so quickly in daycares and schools. However, it’s not just a problem that children have to endure. Many adults catch it from their children or end up with pink eye in some way or another. It is quite an embarrassing and uncomfortable infection; so many people are interested in learning about avoiding the spread of infection, and even using home remedies for pink eye.

Natural remedy for pink eye tip 1 - Boric acid eyewash may help relieve the discomfort associated with pink eye, as it cleans and soothes the infected eye. Even a warm compress applied to the affected eye can help relieve the discomfort.

Natural remedy for pink eye tip 2 - Place a moistened chamomile tea bag over the affected eye. You don’t need to make a tea out of the chamomile, just soak the bag under cool, running water. Let the bag rest on your eye for 10 minutes. Do this each night until the pink eye goes away. It usually takes a day or two to work.

Natural remedy for pink eye tip 3 - Keep hands away from the eye area. Clean household surfaces, and wash hands frequently. Isolate the infection, by not using wash clothes from one eye to the other. Do seek medical attention when the infection gets worse or is severe. Apply cool compresses to ease irritation.
