Eye Styes and Chalazion: How to Prevent Sties Plus Home Remedies - a podcast by Dr. Marc R Grossman, OD, L.Ac.

Eye styes are infections or inflammations along the edge of the eyelid. Chalazions are similar: a cyst-like bump on the eyelid from a blocked oil gland. Both can respond to the same set of prevention protocols and home remedies. Of course, you should consult your eye doctor.

Eye styes are painful red lumps that come to a "head" filled with pus. They may resemble a pimple, but they should never be squeezed like a pimple. The eyelid's skin is too thin. The eye doctor may prescribe ointments, antibiotics, or excision.

In this podcast, Dr. Grossman describes his eye stye prevention program. Highlights include:

• adjusting the diet and adding a certain type of fat
• enhanced eye hygiene
• warm herbal compresses using EyeEase, an herbal tincture available on the NaturalEyeCare.com website
• explanation of the herbs in EyeEase, including Burdock, Chamomile, Chrysanthemum Flower, Eyebright, Echinacea Angustifolia, Forsythia, Golden Seal, Honeysuckle, Marigold and Red Raspberry Leaf.
• homeopahtic remedies for eye sties
