Homeopathic Remedy For Headaches

Top 10 Homeopathic Remedies for Headache!

Headaches are probably one of the commonest causes of suffering for human beings. Headache is the problem that can occur due to wide variety of causes; however, whatever is the cause, it leads to incapacity to work, concentrate and be happy! Treating headache is one of the important aspects of homeopathic prescribing I would say, because it instills confidence in the doctor that they can give rapid and sustained relief to the patients with aptly chosen homeopathic medicine . Rather in the initial practice, it was ‘headache’ that gave me lot of patients for other problems, because they never thought homeopathy can relieve headaches so fast! Quite obvious thinking for people gulping the dangerous nimusulide or inflagin for that maddening headache!

 

Stress, migraine, hyperacidity, hypertension, sinusitis, allergies, flatulent dyspepsias, etc are some of the common causes of headache. We are not considering here the graver problems like endocrine dysfunctions or liver disorders that also may give rise to headaches. The graver causes need thorough evaluation and expert handling of the situations and cases.

 

Moreover, as with many other problems, headache is the tendency in many. Some personality traits like ‘type A’ personalities develop headaches quickly and may also develop other complications associated with headache.

 

Now, let’s consider the top 10 homeopathic remedies and their symptomatology that we must not forget while handling headache homeopathically. Certainly this is not the only remedies; rather there might be more than thousand remedies with peculiar headaches. But these are among "Not to be forgotten" list!

Homeopathy — Migraines And Other Headaches | White Tiger Medicine ...

HEADACHES are generally grouped into migraines, cluster headaches, and tension headaches.  However, the triggers and symptoms are numerous.

Homeopathy looks at all the symptoms that are specific for an individual, to arrive at the most tailormade remedy possible.  By looking all at the symptoms that accompany a person’s headache, we get a clue as to what initiates the headache.

Homeopathic remedies have no side effects.  However, a person may temporarily experience an exacerbation of symptoms.  It is best to let a homeopath do the prescribing.  He/she is trained in the art of matching the symptoms of an individual t0 the appropriate remedy, as well as administer and monitor it.

A sudden headache with no history of a previous headache like it may be caused by an aneurysm (bulging of an artery where the arterial wall is thinning; like a tire that’s ready to blow) in the brain and requires IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.

Rupture of this aneurysm may result in permanent brain damage, or death.
