Stye, also called hordeolum, is a small lump that appears on the eyelid margin — either upper or lower — due to infection of the oil gland in the eyelid. It is painful initially but more importantly, it makes the sufferer feel conscious and awkward. A stye can be external or internal appearing on the outside or inside the eyelid, respectively. Styes are red and painful initially and later pus forms in them. Eventually, they burst and heal completely, with the pus getting dischareged. But sometimes, in case of an internal stye, a hard nodule or cyst filled with fluid remains behind due to improper drainage of discharge. The stye is attended with pain in the eyelid, swelling of the eyelid, itching, soreness and ne may feel grittiness (sand-like sensation) and excessive watering from the eyes.
Styes can be safely treated with natural homeopathic medicines with no side effects. Homeopathic medicines fight with bacterial infection to give a complete cure in these cases. With its use, the stye dissolve gradually and its attending symptoms of pain, itching, soreness, eye watering are relieved wonderfully. In modern medicine, antibiotic pills, eye drops or topical antibiotic creams are usually prescribed in cases of a stye while surgery is also advised to drain pus in some cases. This treatment can have side effects. Homeopathy, however, is a great alternative that functions to resolve this condition naturally without any adverse side effects.
Homeopathy leads to natural recovery
Homeopathy boosts self-healing forces in the body that aids to fight bacterial infection in a natural way. The infection gets eradicated completely and stye is cured from its root. Homeopathy works well in both external and internal styes. Homeopathy can also help prevent the need of surgery in most cases of stye.
Homeopathy is effective for acute as well as recurrent stye
Homeopathic remedies for stye not only help in dissolving the stye in an acute condition but also work effectively to eradicate the tendency to have a stye again. Homeopathy also offers effective cure for hard nodes that may be left in cases of incompletely resolved styes.
Personalized medicine prescription
Homeopathy prescribes a medicine for stye individually for every case. Various factors are taken into consideration before finalizing the homeopathic medication for a given case of stye. These include the side of the eye—right or left, whether the stye is formed on the upper or lower eyelid, the type of pain and any other attending symptoms present and if there is a tendency of repeated formation of the stye. After noting these details, the case is evaluated by a homeopathic doctor to find the most suitable medicine for a case. A properly selected medicine is capable to heal the stye completely.
Homeopathy Is Free Of Side Effects
Homeopathy prescribes medicines made up of natural substances to treat cases of stye. They treat stye in a harmless and gentle manner that does not have any kind of side effects.

Hello,
After having been prompted to write in the live chat, I sent two messages and both times I have received no reply. Then an automated message says I am cut off for lack of activity….Is this a joke?
Hello, my daughter has a stye on her lower R eyelid that is inflamed and very painful even without touch. There is no crust or discharge at this point. I believe it started within the last 24 or 36 hours. We have been away from a house with water damage and mold for over a year, but I know that is taxing to the immune system. Wondering if you would change your recommendation because the current place where we live has some mold in the bathroom so she is constantly exposed when showering. Thank you.
Dr. Sharma, I have a Stye forming on my lower right lid but I also have redness on both eyelids and red lumps on the skin under both eyes, on the outer corners, no pus has formed. Thank you

Hi Dr.
Best medicine for ED in old age.
there is inflammation beneath the left eye of my son and it is showing redness around the eye specifically lower side of the lower eyelid and there is feeble tenderness and my kid is not allowing me to touch it firmly
Hi Dr. Sharna,
I’ve been on constitutional Pulsatilla for years. Recently, I switched to Staphysagria (I’ve also been prescribed this in the past) because I had a large style on my right lower lid and other appropriate characteristics. Two days ago, I repeated the Pulsatilla dose feeling I’d ridden through the Staphysagria wave. Within 36 hours, I developed two styles in the upper lid of my left eye. Is this a healing crisis I should ride out or treat with another remedy? I’m a student of homeopathy and my physician is on vacation so I appreciate your thoughts.
Hi, I have this happening now.
Can you tell me if this was a healing crisis?
Did you ever get another one, again?
Thanks!
(had staphysagria 30c, and silicea 30c; had a small, hard lump, now I have *another* Chalazion; bigger, redder, angrier – too inflamed to know how many lumps there are)
Hi Doc, my daughter frequently gets stuck in her eyelids. There’s no pus formation but it swells and pains. I gave her homepathy medicine for almost 8 months and she was fine. Doc asked to keep ice compress to get relief. I stopped the medicine.

Regards
Mother

Hi Dr. Sharma,
I hope your well and thank you for doing what you do. I am writing because I have a continuing stye problem in both eyes, upper and lower lids. I’ve read your list of top remedies for styes and have purchased both Ferrum Phos and Silicea pellets form Boiron.
I was wondering if the Boiron products are sufficient or if you have another recommendation for Homeopathic remedies I can purchase online. Also, I’m curious as to what foods promote styes so I can eliminate those from my diet.
Thank you for your time and help.
Best,
Tony
