Styes, which are usually the result of the bacterial infection of an eyelash follicle, will normally clear by themselves after a couple of weeks. Having said that, styes can be pretty unsightly and many people will want to take measures to speed the healing process. The infection resembles a white-red lump, which can be painful, inflamed and can produce a discharge.
In addition to keeping the area clean, making sure to clean each eye separately to avoid maintaining the infection, and leaving contact lenses and makeup for a few days, give the best-indicated remedy from the list below:
Staphysagria
Styes especially on the left/upper lid
Recurrent styes
Symptoms may have been been preceded by an emotional upset
Pulsatilla
Styes that produce a lot of thick, yellow discharge
Person feels emotional, tearful
Hepar Sulph
Eyes will be very red and swollen and painful, especially to touch
The eye may feel gritty, have a lot of yellow discharge and there may be a sensitivity to cold air
The person may be grumpy and rather dramatic about their symptoms
Other measures
A warm compress will help the pus exit the infected area, and this will be especially effective if a few drops of Calendula (Marigold) tincture or HyperCal (St John’s Wort + Marigold) are added to the water.
I hope this helps. Please get in touch for more information.
