A stye is a small, inflamed boil on the eyelid. It may affect the skin of the eyebrows or the eyelids, more commonly the lower lid.
Usually stye is an inflamed hair follicle or an infection of a sebaceous gland in the edge of the eyelid.
In Ayurveda, it is known as anjananamika.
3 Causes
Stye is often caused due to ill health, conjunctivitis and infection of the eyelid. The infecting organism is usually a staphylococcus bacterium.
Infection of the hair follicles of the eyelid leads to blockage of the hair follicles.
4
Due to uncleanliness, lack of hygiene and dirt, sebaceous glands near the eye lids can also get blocked and provide a conducive environment for the growth of infective organisms.
This is often seen among children who keep suffering from it repeatedly. Constant rubbing of eyes, sleep deprivation and poor nutrition also contribute in causing stye.
5 Symptoms
Boil on eye lid
Pain in boil
6 Home Remedies
Boil water with Triphala powder and strain the powder from the water. When it cools down, wash the eyes with this water.
Dissolve alum (fitkari) in water and use it for washing your eyes.

Apply pure ghee or honey on stye. It helps to speed up the healing process.
Cook besan flour, turmeric and oil together and then apply this on the style like a poultice after it cools down. It is very effective in healing a stye.
