The ABC Homeopathy Forum
hardened styes in the last month
For no reason I got a sty about a month ago (left upper lid), did not touch it, it resolved, but a small hard lump remained (chalazion?). Now two weeks ago I got another one (right upper lid), it was more painful, redder, and I did more things to heal it (warm compresses and some other experiments). Feels like a lump might be remaining there as well. The last one also looks reddish/pink still.I scoured this forum for help and decided to start with Staphysagria 30C (no higher potency in my local whole foods) 4 pellets (Boiron) every four hours. I am open to other suggestions. Especially if someone can help me with a classical homeopathic diagnosis, remedy suggestion.

Thank you, I have been actually prescribed sepia before, but 30C, for menstrual problems--about two years ago, first in dry form and then in wet solution. Can you tell me if taking 1M is safe? I am willing to try.
helent29 last decade
I forgot to say that I am breastfeeding currently. Is Sepia and in 1M potency safe for me and my baby?
helent29 last decade
Please start with Sepia 200. You may need Sepia 1M later. It is safe for both mother and her baby. The dosing pattern and other instructions remain same.
