I would love some comments from my readers about this. My daughter developed a classic case of conjunctivitis (pink eye) and we would not be able to see a pediatrician for 2 days. I was hoping to find a natural solution anyway, so I went to the internet and learned that chamomile tea placed topically over the eye may help. Shockingly, it did!

I took the chamomile flowers that I had harvested from my property earlier in the year and boiled them in water. After it cooled I dipped a cloth in the liquid and laid it over my daughter's infected eye. I repeatedly dipped the cloth until she fell asleep and then removed it. When she woke the following morning the green pus, crusting and redness were completely gone!

I would love any input as to how this works or other stories of success. (Simply click on COMMENTS under this entry) What a wonderful way to treat conjunctivitis. (Keep in mind that if her eye hadn't cleared up I intended to take her to the pediatrician and others should consider this too)
