Instructions

    • 1

      Wash around your cat's eyes by using a warm water-soaked cotton ball and wiping it around your kitty's eye. This will help to remove any buildup or discharge the eye issue may have caused. If there is a large amount of discharge, squirt sterile eye irrigating solution directly into the eye, then use a cotton ball to remove the excess solution and discharge.

      Place a tincture containing arctium lappa, also called burdock, into your cat's eye. According to Cat-Health-Guide.org, this herb helps to cleanse and can detoxify tissue. In addition, also look for a tincture that contains rosemary, as this herb can relieve pain and has anti-inflammatory properties, as well. Tinctures containing these ingredients should be available at your local herb store. Because of different concentrations in the tinctures, it is best to speak with a sales associate or a holistic doctor about dosage information.
