A chalazion is a small, relatively hard cyst that forms on the eyelids. It is caused by obstruction of a sebaceous gland that secretes sebum. Chalazion can gradually disintegrate when treated with homeopathic remedies. Chalazion should be treated early enough to avoid an infection that could damage the eye.
Detecting the signs
Chalazion is a tiny tumor that can appear in people of any age group. Self-examination can reveal a chalazion, which is a relatively firm inflammatory cyst on the eyelid. Not being similar to some eye infections, chalazion does not cause any pus secretion. However, the subject may feel burning and stinging sensations on the eyelids. Tears for no emotional reason and intolerance of strong light are also two symptoms of chalazion. An infection occurs when palpation reveals pain and if the subject seems to have difficulty distinguishing certain objects. In some cases, chalazion not treated in time may lead to eyelid edema and reactive conjunctivitis.
Homeopathic treatments in case of non-suppuration
Suppuration corresponds to a phase where the chalazion becomes an infection and leads to a discharge of pus. Homeopathic treatments can combat the aggravation of the chalazion and promote the formation of pus to disintegrate the cyst. Thus, it is necessary to take Pyrogenium diluted in 7 or 9 Ch. Myristica in 9 hours will be administered every hour if palpation reveals the presence of an unusual cyst on the eyelids. Following the example of Pyrogenium, Myristica will stimulate suppuration. If the pus has not formed and the objective is to contain the evolution of the chalazion, it is possible to take Hepar Sulfur in 15 Ch at the rate of a single dose if suppuration has not started.
Homeopathic remedies in case of suppuration
If the chalazion has developed and pus has formed, the proposed solution is to take Thuja Occidentalis in 30 Ch for a three-month treatment at the rate of one dose per week. In some cases, the doctor may prescribe Staphysagria 7 Ch in 5 granules in the morning and evening for three months, to be combined with Thuja Occidentalis.
Choosing the right remedy
If the affected part is infected, the patient can adopt several homeopathic remedies. The products to be consumed vary according to the manifestation of the cyst. If the skin of the eyelid near the chalazion is swollen and becomes painful at the slightest blink of the eyelashes, it is advisable to take 3 granules of Belladonna in 5 Ch every hour. If the pain is more intense at night and when the patient is relieved by applying warm compresses to his eyelids, the homeopathic remedy Arsenicum Album diluted in 5 Ch. The subject must absorb 3 granules every hour to soothe the spasms. If the abscess caused by the superinfection of the chalazion does not heal easily, it is possible to consider a treatment based on Silicea in 4 Ch. This accelerates suppuration and cauterization of the wound. Taking three granules of Apis Mellifica every hour is only necessary if the chalazion produces a pink-tinged edema reminiscent of a bee's sting. In this case, the pain, which is more intense to the touch, is soothed by cold compresses.
