Diagnosis of Ayin Hara

I have been searching all over about ayin hara and I only find explnations as to what it is. I understand what it is. What I need to know is how do you know if you received an ayin hara?
We moved into a very large home three years ago, we have made many simchas, and since then my husband´s business has gone downhill and is almost bankrupt. I have been davening for months. I have said perek shira, I say tehilim, tefila lebaal, tefila leparnassa, Parashas hamon, etc. (I know it is too soon after succos to know if our tefilos will be answered.) However, if it IS an ayin hara, we would like to know HOW YOU KNOW IF YOU HAVE IT.
Thank you so much.

Answer:

Unfortunately, because Ayin Hara is something essentially spiritual, there isn’t any way of actually knowing if you “have it” or not.

There are certain procedures that are employed, mainly by Jews of Sephardic tradition, for exorcising the infliction of the “evil eye” (see here). However, as a general rule, and the more so in Ashkenazi communities, the approach to a person’s troubles is more “earthly” — on the one hand, to make all of the required hishtadlus in a worldly sense, and on the other to daven to Hashem for assistance.

I wish you all the very best, and sincerely hope that the situation improves in the near future.
