eye cyst - #19308
For the past few weeks, I have had a small lump on my eyelid that feels tender and slightly swollen. After doing some research, I found out that this could be an eye cyst, which is usually caused by blocked oil glands, infections, or inflammation. While my doctor suggested warm compresses, I want to explore whether Ayurveda offers natural ways to treat and prevent eye cysts from recurring. From what I understand, eye cysts can be chalazion (painless cysts) or styes (infected cysts), depending on whether they are inflamed. Does Ayurveda classify eye cysts as a Kapha or Pitta imbalance, since they involve oil blockages and swelling? Could poor digestion or toxin buildup contribute to recurring eye cysts? One of my biggest concerns is that my eye cyst keeps coming back, especially when I am stressed or sleep-deprived. Does Ayurveda suggest any immune-boosting herbs like Triphala or Neem to help prevent infections in the oil glands? Another issue is that my eyelid feels heavy and slightly itchy. Since Ayurveda emphasizes external therapies for eye health, are there any herbal eye washes, medicated oils, or Ayurvedic ointments that help dissolve eye cysts naturally? Would treatments like Netra Tarpana (eye oil bath) or rose water rinses be helpful in reducing inflammation? I also noticed that eye cysts appear more often when I consume fried and oily foods. Could my diet be contributing to excess oil production in the glands? Does Ayurveda recommend any Pitta-pacifying diet changes to improve overall eye health and reduce oil gland blockages? Since I want to avoid surgical procedures or prolonged use of antibiotics, I would love to know the best Ayurvedic treatments, herbal remedies, and dietary modifications to naturally heal and prevent eye cysts. What are the best holistic approaches for maintaining healthy, cyst-free eyes?
