IF BARLEY WAS BORN...

As is known, plentiful the crop of this "cereal" usually does not happen. Barley, or a sharp purulent inflammation of a sebaceous gland of edge of a century, usually appears in an individual copy - but it is enough of it, that there were unpleasant sensations.

Barley begins with a small painful swelling and reddening of edge of a century, sometimes it extends and on other eyelid. The swelling accrues within several days, then in its centre is formed white гнойничок. If process develops without complications after maturing barley is opened itself, and after allocation of its contents inflammation signs quickly disappear.

Risk of occurrence of barley at some people initially above, than at others. It is caused by immunity and a heredity - in some families all relatives suffer barley.

Observance of rules of personal hygiene also is of great importance. For example, at the women using substandard cosmetic means for eyes, risk of occurrence of barley much above. The probability of infection is Besides, great at contact with a dirty towel or hands, hit of a dust or dust particles (for example, during picnic or on a summer residence).

The anaemia (anaemia), lack of vitamins A, With and In, rare stay on fresh air, chronic weariness of eyes provoke barley. It is impossible to work, using the poor-quality or incorrectly adjusted monitor. Signs of the good monitor are that: clock frequency - not less than 75 Hz, depth of colours - 24-32 bits, the permission of the screen not less than 800 х 600 points.

Besides painful sensations, barley conceals in itself considerable danger of development of the further inflammatory process which in the absence of due treatment can lead to the most sad consequences for an eye - the heavy inflammation demanding serious treatment in hospital.

However, so fatal result usually reaches seldom. As a rule, having found out in itself barley (and it can arise and develop literally within several hours), the normal person nevertheless prefers to address at once to the doctor-ophthalmologist. And this most correct decision.

On the other hand, certain steps can be undertaken and it is independent. First of all, it is necessary to refuse any cosmetic procedures, including a make-up. Is inadmissible to squeeze out and pierce ripened barley. Attempt to squeeze out pus very often leads to infection distribution on blood vessels and can end even with a meningitis (an inflammation of brain covers) or blood infection.

For barley treatment in house conditions it is possible to use following means:

• Fresh segment of garlic to cut lengthways and to put a cut by a sick century for 5-10 minutes some times in day, within 2-3 days. Thus it is necessary to watch, that during procedure the mucous membrane of a century and an eye was not irritated.

• Sheet of an aloe of the average size to crush a knife, to fill in with 1 glass of cold (!) boiled water and to insist 6-8 hours. Then to filter, impregnate with a liquid a wadded tampon which then is necessary for putting by a sick century for some minutes, 3-4 times in day.

In the same way it is possible to use and infusion from цветков nails medicinal (2 table spoons to fill in with a glass of rather sloping boiled water to wrap up and insist 30-40 minutes then to filter and cool).

Though, certainly, application of all these lotions and infusions does not assume refusal of observance of personal hygiene and, at possibility, references behind the qualified medical assistance.

There is an opinion, that at barley well helps wetting. There is whole "direction" of national medicine - уринотерапия (an armour. - treatment by an urine, that is urine). Except the pseudoscientific name, in уринотерапии there is nothing medical. Salutary action of urine at burns quite explainably. But to dig in it in eyes? It is better in hospital or a drugstore. Any pharmacist will advise good drops for eyes, them now let out for all tastes and a purse.
