Your Body Is Speaking
Your eyelids burn. The margins are reddened, swollen, sometimes crusted over. It itches, it chafes, it feels as though something has become inflamed that should normally perform its service quietly and without notice. Because that is exactly what eyelids ordinarily do — they open and close, thousands of times a day, without you ever thinking about it. Until they make themselves known.
Medically, blepharitis is an inflammation of the lid margin, caused by bacteria, blocked glands, or skin conditions. The treatment is often lengthy, the symptoms return. Seen through a psychosomatic lens, a different question arises: What wants to open — and is not allowed to? What burns behind your eyes and cannot find its way out?
