Natural treatments for watering or irritated eyes

I have blepharitis in my eyes, which means that my eyes are constantly watering and irritated. Is there any natural treatment to help with this problem?

Blepharitis is more common than you would think, and can be difficult to keep in check. The cause is typically a low-grade bacterial infection, or can be a secondary symptom of a condition such as acne rosacea or dandruff.

There are two main forms of blepharitis – anterior, affecting the area outside the eyelid where the eyelashes are attached; and posterior, due to problems with the oil glands of the inner eyelid. Both types result in eye irritation, which can lead to burning and watering, usually with crusting at the eyelid margins.
