A 15 year old student came for treatment of chalazion which he had since 1 month. It had started very gradually and was mistaken for a stye. But the swelling persisted and the size kept increasing. He felt needle-like pricking sensation in his eyes and also had continuous watering from his eyes. He could not tolerate too many lights and would immediately close his eyes.

This patient was to appear for his boards in 3 months and had become suddenly very nervous and apprehensive. He was too anxious and feared that he would not clear his boards and may fail. However, the mother told us that he is quite intelligent and has studied a lot but he always feels anxious before all his exams.

He was given Silicea. After 15 days, his mother came back reporting that the chalazion had healed completely. Not only that, but he also felt more confident about his exams. Homeopathy did not only relieve the physical complaint but also reduced his mental anxiety.
