Fennel and Comfrey are abundant in the gardens of Ecuador as well as most places on the earth.
A simple combination of Fennel seed and Comfrey root is more effective than most recommended for sty eye or eye stress or any eye irritation (including welding flash or scratched eye ball). This is wonderful for puffy eyes.
The eye wash needs to be made fresh as the decoction will start to grow bacteria after 3 days or so, but it is easy to make as required and needed.
Make a decoction by simply taking 1 tsp of Fennel seeds and 1 tsp of cut & sifted Comfrey root and put into a small pot with ½ cup of water. Bring to a boil and simmer 5 minutes, turn off heat and cool. Strain through silk or tight muslin making sure all “bits” are removed. Sometimes a coffee filter is the best.
Wash the eyes using an eyecup 2-3 times a day.
Store excess in refrigerator. Replace with new decoction every 3 days. [this is a living herbal formula and will grow bacteria, so make it, use it, replace it, every 3 days].
