Numerous natural ingredients are packed with antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties and are effective treatments for styes. Combining them produces a powerful healing cream that can also be used as a preventive ointment to keep styes from forming in the first place. Combine half a cup of coconut oil and half a cup of jojoba or olive oil in a bowl. Add ten to fifteen drops of tea tree oil and five drops of lavender oil. Mix the ingredients thoroughly and add a binding agent, such as beeswax or arrowroot powder, until the mixture thickens. To treat a stye with this cream, apply a small amount of it to the affected area three times per day. Let the skin absorb the cream instead of wiping or washing it off. To use the cream as a preventive ointment, carefully apply it to the face and around the eyes twice per week.
