Potatoes have long been used as a home remedy due to their astringent and anti-inflammatory properties. When it comes to styes, the juice of the potato can contract tissue around the stye and reduce pain and swelling. Grate a potato and wrap it in a cheesecloth. Place the compress against your eye for ten to 15 minutes. You can do this two to three times a day for up to four days.
