It’s painful initially but more important, Stye in the eye is a distracting sight for an onlooker which makes you feel very conscious and awkward. Stye is the small lump that appears on the eyelid margin — either upper or lower — due to infection of sebaceous glands. A stye can be external or internal appearing outside or inside the eyelid, respectively. Styes are red and painful initially and later pus forms in them. Eventually, they burst and heal up completely, while discharging the pus. But sometimes, in case of an internal stye, a hard nodule or cyst filled with fluid remains behind due to improper drainage of discharge. Styes can be safely treated with natural Homeopathic medicines with no side effects. Homeopathic remedies for styes not only help in dissolving the Stye in an acute condition but eradicate the tendency to have a Stye again. Ferrum Phos, Silicea, Conium, Euphrasia, Pulsatilla, Staphysagaria, Conium and Thuja are the top remedies.
Top Homeopathic Remedies for Styes
1. Ferrum Phos: For First Stage of Stye
Ferrum Phos is a very effective medicine for Stye treatment. It is the best remedy for the first stage of Stye. At this stage, redness, pain, tenderness and swelling are marked and Ferrum Phos helps in relieving all these symptoms. This medicine also stops the progression of the Stye to a stage of pus formation.
2. Silicea: For Last Stage of Stye with Pus
Silicea is an excellent medicine for treatment of Styes. Silicea is the best cure when complete pus has been formed in Stye that is usually in the last stage. Silicea helps in the pus getting absorbed or drained out, resulting in proper resolution of the Stye problem. Whether pus is absorbed or discharged depends on each individual case. If it’s the beginning of pus formation, the pus is absorbed. But when complete pus is formed in Stye, Silicea will help in proper draining out of the pus. Silicea is a natural medicine that also makes sure that no resultant nodule is left after the Stye is gone.
3. Conium: When Hard Nodes are left behind from Styes
Conium is the best medicine for taking care of the hard nodes that remain after improper healing of Styes. These are referred to as Indurated Styes. Conium has the ability to soften such hard knots and make them disappear completely. In such cases, Conium is of great help in completely curing the Styes and never disappoints.
4. Euphrasia: For Styes with Extreme Burning and Watering from Eye
Euphrasia is commonly known as Eye Bright. That’s no surprise as it has the remarkable ability to treat eye diseases. Euphrasia is a natural medicine that is the best remedy when there is excessive watering with a burning sensation in eyes along with Styes. There is also marked redness and itching.
5. Pulsatilla: For Upper Eyelid Stye
Pulsatilla is the ideal remedy to treat the Styes of upper eyelid. The use of this medicine can be considered in all those cases where eating of fatty food like butter, creams, pastries precedes formation of the Stye.
6. Staphysagaria, Conium and Thuja: For Chalazion
These natural medicines are very benefical in the treatment of Chalazion or the cysts that appear as hard, firm, round nodes in eyelids away from the eyelid margins. Homeopathy provides a cure for this painless growth without having to resort to surgery. Staphysagaria, Conium and Thuja possess a powerful healing ability to dissolve these cysts and remove any kind of obstruction in the eyelid glands that is allowing its contents to collect into hard knots.
7. Calcarea Fluor and Thuja: For Tumours of Eyelid
Calcarea Fluor and Thuja are considered the best medicines to deal with the tumors of eyelids. These remedies have proved to be very effective in removing tarsal tumors.
How often do we take these methods? I’m at the end stage with pus pressure. I’ve taken silcea the entire time, maybe I didn’t take it long enough?
Hello Dr S,
I have a stye that started 6 days ago- left lower lid. There was a very large pustule which has been reducing in size with the application of heat and gentle pressure. It is internal and there is still a lump present that hasn’t been draining the last few days. What remedy(ies) do you recommend and what strength? Thank you
