Psychosomatic causes of boils: the opinion of Louise Hay and Liz Burbo

Barley (hordeolum), like any disease, can occur for various reasons. Experts more often associate its appearance with a bacterial infection in the eyelash follicles or gland (apocrine, sebaceous, meibomian). But there are other explanations for the etiology of this pathological condition. Psychosomatics, as one of the areas in medicine, also has its own point of view on this matter.

Psychosomatics of the occurrence of barley

The moral and psychological state of a person directly affects his health. It is necessary to maintain a positive attitude, then there will be no reason for the appearance of barley.

Eyes are an information channel that connects us with the outside world. They need to be protected, eye inflammations and styes should be treated in a timely manner.

The organ of vision sometimes says more about a person than all the questionnaires and resumes. Women highlight their eyes and eyelids with cosmetics to attract the attention of others; when meeting and in conversation, people carefully look into the eyes of their interlocutor in order to read his true thoughts. An open look inspires confidence in a person. If they look from under their brows, their owner is “on his own mind.”

The release of negative and positive tension is often expressed in tears. After them, salty moisture remains on the cornea and inner eyelid.

Interesting! Those who cry often and a lot, or who do not cry at all, suffer more from eye diseases and inflammation. This is an observation by ophthalmologists.

The psychosomatics of barley lies in human hatred. This is the direct cause of the ripening of barley; inflammation on the eyelid can appear very soon.

Psychomatic factors causing the appearance of stye:

1. Anger poisons a person’s life and well-being, giving rise to rage and irritability, which spill out on others. These emotions are the basis of inflammation on the eyelid. Speaking about the cause of inflammation of the eyelids, we must remember that anger undermines the immune system and opens the way for bacteria and microbes to enter the body. Emotional protection weakens, the level of positive charge and vitality decreases.
2. Anger is another cause of inflammation of the eyelids. It is easier to be nervous and irritable than to be friendly. By throwing out his anger, a person does not relieve his soul; on the contrary, he cultivates and builds up a black feeling. Weak people around become infected with a bad mood and pass it on to others through a chain reaction. A constant critical attitude towards life accumulates in the subconscious. A person spends his energy not on good deeds, but on anger. Luck turns away from such a clot of negative energy, and the abscess on the eyelid will definitely come off.
3. Fear is an important reason for the appearance of stye on the eyelid. In a state of nervous tension, a person is indecisive, he is afraid of changes in life, new ideas at work, his brain is shackled with fear. People with a weak psyche and lack of self-confidence are susceptible to this feeling. They suffer from inflammation and styes. If there is no element of creativity and adventurism in their life, it becomes dull. Groundhog Day is coming. Monotonous actions and events capture a person in their circle, and he is afraid to change his life. Weakness and fear are important causes of styes on the eye and inflammation of the eyelid.
4. Exalted individuals are no less susceptible to the disease than phlegmatic people. They are characterized by categoricalness in defending their position and the manifestation of violent emotions. This heightened emotional background leads to the development of many nervous and physical diseases, including hordeolum. Inflammation and abscess are a release of emotional stress accumulated in the nerve cells of the body.

How to eliminate boils from a psychological point of view

Before embarking on psychological correction, you need to clearly determine the cause of inflammation. To do this, pay attention to the location of the pimple:

• Ear – conflicts, swallowed resentment, silent listening to claims and criticism.
• Eyes – fear, non-acceptance of reality, daily unpleasant impressions.
• Legs and arms, armpits - aimless existence, lack of meaning in life.
• Butt, perineal area, groin - shame, lack of acceptance of your body.
• Head and face – uncertainty in life, a feeling of confusion and depression.
• Back – something is pressing on your back, it’s hard to carry.

How to get rid of the disease:

• Master relaxation and meditation techniques to achieve harmony with yourself and the world around you.
• Allow yourself to express negative emotions. There are many rational ways: hitting a punching bag, going to an anti-stress attraction with breaking dishes, writing your thoughts on paper, screaming into a pillow, etc.
• Find reasons for joy and gratitude every day. Try it now. Thank yourself and life, say thank you to this world.
• Get rid of stereotypes, follow your desires and needs.
• Do yoga and breathing exercises.
• Speak affirmations.

The reason does not always lie in the conflict between the environment and man. Boils can be a consequence of internal contradiction (a person irritates himself). In this case, you should definitely visit a psychotherapist.

It is important! If purulent rashes appear systematically, you should definitely visit a dermatologist and psychologist. In rare cases, consultation and treatment with an endocrinologist or nutritionist may be necessary (skin and intestines are also interconnected).

Doctors' recommendations for getting rid of stye

At a doctor’s appointment, the patient tells him what worries him, what hurts. A doctor who delves into the study of the patient’s psychosomatic state will quickly achieve the desired result in the treatment of barley. In addition to barley, it will protect a person from many other dangerous health conditions. If it is possible to achieve a balanced positive state of the patient, eyelid treatment is more effective and the disease does not return.

A few tips that will protect you from stye and eye inflammation:

1. Be tolerant of the opinions of others, even if you cannot accept your opponent’s position. Every person has the right to his own opinion, to his own principles in life. If all people thought alike, she would lose her emotional colors. Differences in worldview, characters, and tastes provide the opportunity to develop. Learn to accept people as they are. You can’t mold everyone to your ideal. There will be no inflammation on the eyelids, the styes will recede.
2. Don’t try to control everything – it takes a lot of effort. Don't insert yourself into the lives of strangers, focus on yourself. A person is forced to react to everything he encounters. Save your nervous system from unnecessary emotions. You will protect yourself from inflammation. Invest in yourself - in your education, pleasure, development of talents. Don’t lecture, don’t advise unless asked, don’t judge others.
3. Try to treat people friendly and understanding. Try for yourself to find an explanation for their unseemly actions. This will help you understand and forgive, and therefore not become embittered.
4. Live with hope in your soul. Look forward to each day with joy. Try to turn difficult situations into positive ones. If you emanate bright energy, people will be friendlier towards you. Styes and inflammation will disappear from your eyelids. There is a way out of every difficult situation. The disease is curable, lack of money is temporary, loneliness is fixable. All in your hands. Live in a good mood, it gives you strength. And illnesses more often overtake a weak person.

What are the stages of the disease?

There are several stages of development of the pathological process:

1. Infiltration stage. This stage is characterized by the appearance of itching and burning on the eyelid. It's swelling. This process does not take more than three days.

2. Suppuration. In the absence of resolution of barley, an abscess forms. This is a round, transparent formation filled with white contents.

3. Breakthrough of the abscess. If there is no spontaneous breakthrough of the purulent capsule, this is done by a clinic specialist. The release of purulent contents can be observed for several days.

4. Healing. A crust is formed in the place where the barley was previously located. Under such a crust, tissues are regenerated.

Causes and symptoms of stye on the eye

Doctors and scientists agree that all diseases enter a progressive phase during a period when a person is in a loss of strength and a depressed psychological state.

Every person suffers from styes from time to time. The disease got its name because of its resemblance to a ripened barley grain. In medicine, this disease is called “hordeolum”.

Why does barley “jump off” in such an inconvenient place? It occurs near the follicle of a healthy eyelash and involves the sebaceous gland or hair follicle. At first, the area around it becomes slightly red and swollen, then inflammation, pain and severe itching appear. A large abscess takes 3-4 days to mature. Then it breaks through, the contents come out, and the pain gradually subsides. The abscess may be located on the outside of the eyelid. In this case, staphylococcus settles in the eyelash bulb. If the sebaceous gland becomes inflamed, a tubercle grows on the inside of the eyelid.

The cause of inflammation in the eye was considered to be only a cold. But this list can be continued with other factors:

• germs from a dirty towel;
• wiping your eyes with unwashed hands;
• aggressive or expired cosmetics;
• lack of vitamins;
• lack of fresh air;
• weak immunity;
• complication after a cold;
• penetration of infection into the body;
• diseases and pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract;
• diabetes;
• unbalanced diet;
• skin diseases;
• emotional tension, stress;
• neglect of the basics of personal hygiene.

These reasons have been studied and confirmed by scientists, therefore, at the first signs of stye, you should find the cause and get examined so as not to start a painful process, the signal for which was inflammation in the eyelid.

It would seem that there is no point in devoting an entire article to a small pimple. A stye appeared, broke through, the pain stopped, and that’s it, the patient forgot about the sore. If treatment is carried out incorrectly, complications arise:

• the temperature rises;
• pus spreads to areas of the eyelid adjacent to the localization;
• the eye swells and cannot open.

These symptoms indicate serious inflammatory processes that require medical intervention. Otherwise, pathologies may develop leading to vision loss.

It has been observed that in densely populated cities more people suffer from visual impairment. The lack of perspective blocks the flight of sight. Constantly bumping into obstacles in the form of stone walls, monitors, and other people's faces, your eyes get tired of the diversity and enclosed space. They get used to looking at objects that are close. After all, one of the ways to correct myopia is to exercise - look into the distance, especially at the blue sea.

Cleansing

Another interpretation of the sign why barley on the eye is cleansing and getting rid of excess. Probably, a lot of significant events (not always good) have happened recently that have radically changed your destiny. Perhaps you managed to clear your karma and withstand the tests with dignity, so the appearance of an abscess is the last stage, symbolizing that all the bad things will go away along with this minor illness. Stay positive, but don't forget to learn from past lessons.

Failure to comply with hygiene standards

The eye shell is thin and sensitive, so microbes often penetrate through it. In a humid environment, they multiply intensively, which leads to inflammation.

Lenses can be a common cause of styes. Their use requires careful care and careful application. Lenses have an expiration date, after which their use becomes more dangerous than the disease itself. Many people neglect their daily care. The eyes get tired from the daily presence of a foreign body. In the evening, after washing your face, be sure to instill moisturizing drops with vitamins for your eyes.

If a speck gets into the eye under the eyelid, it must be carefully removed. It may have sharp edges. You need to take warm water into your palm and lower your eye into it. Try to “blink” with an open eye. If you cannot get rid of the foreign object, you need to remove it with the edge of a clean napkin. Many mothers try to “lick” the speck out of their child’s eye. This cannot be done; there can be more germs on the tongue than on a tiny speck of dust.

In women, stye most often appears on the upper eyelid. Particles of decorative cosmetics (mascara or eye shadow) get under the upper eyelid.

A cold itself does not cause inflammation on the eyelid. But during a cold, immunity decreases and the body weakens. Then the bacteria attack without encountering resistance. Barley “jumps off” after suffering from acute respiratory viral infections, influenza, or tonsillitis. This is also due to the weakening of protective forces.

The eye diseases blepharitis and demodectic mange coexist with styes. Blepharitis is a chronic inflammation of the eyelids, caused by the presence of staphylococci in the body. It is characterized by the appearance of dry crusts on the eyelids, loss of eyelashes, and redness.

Demodicosis is caused by the proliferation of mites in the eyelash bulbs, which secrete toxic substances. They may be the cause of stye. The disease is contagious. The patient must follow the rules - use individual personal hygiene products, wash hands more often, have your own bedding.

What is the reason for decreased immunity?

There are periods in a person's life when health weakens. This happens for various reasons - hard work, poor living conditions, nervous tension. In this state, the body cannot cope with all microbes and viruses. At this point, inflammation and stye may appear.

The body's strength is depleted in the case of:

1. Poor nutrition, which lacks “live” foods, vitamins, and proteins. Each organ has its own set of microelements and nutrients for stable functioning. For example, vitamins A and B, which are found in fish oil and carrots, are beneficial for the eyes.
2. The development of chronic diseases in which the formation of pathogenic bacteria progresses. These are caries, dysbacteriosis, anemia.
3. Disturbances in sleep and wakefulness. Inadequate rest is deposited in the subconscious, chronic fatigue accumulates, weakening the body.
4. Frequent overwork and nervous tension. Stressful situations reduce protection.
5. The use of antibiotics and hormone-containing drugs, radiation and chemotherapy in the treatment of oncology.
6. Dirty air, drinking water containing harmful impurities, vegetables and fruits grown in unfavorable conditions.

The appearance of stye is influenced by physical and psychological reasons. Compliance with personal hygiene standards, taking care of the health of the whole body, and a positive outlook on life will help protect yourself not only from inflammation of the eyelid, but also from many other ailments.
