The conventional approach to treating chronic headaches and migraines is to take large quantities of drugs to reduce them to a manageable level and to try to get on with your life. But it is difficult, isn’t it? How can you enjoy life when severe pain is always awaiting around the corner.

Instead of controlling your headaches- homeopathy can find a remedy for you which will gradually make the headaches go away until they are just a memory. At the same time the right remedy will improve many other things in your life.

Here is an example.

Heather like most patients didn’t come for just one problem. She had many.

She had had bad headaches for as long as she could remember. She had constant headaches which got better and worse but never went away. They were one sided and located in the forehead above the eyebrow. The pain felt like a pressure, pressing outward.

She also was diagnosed with infertility. She had no menstrual periods in the past 3 years except when given hormones to bring them on. She desperately wanted to have a child. She had a runny nose all the time for years. She had bad heartburn. Her gums bled frequently.

In addition she was very dissatisfied and unhappy with her life. She had many fears including fear of being attacked and robbed. She had low energy both physically and emotionally. She was inefficient doing daily tasks. She was very moody, She could be very quiet and patient and then suddenly lose control.

We gave her one dose of the homeopathic remedy Natrum Muriaticum (note this was the right remedy for her but the possibility of it being the right remedy for another person suffering from headaches is low).

Three weeks after the remedy she got a skin condition on her back, which lasted a week. This was the disease coming outward. She gradually started improving. By four months after the remedy, her headaches were much improved. She came in the door and said “ this is the first time in years that my headaches have bothered me so little.” She no longer had them all the time and when she had them they were much less strong. Her heartburn was gone, her gums bled much less. She was much more patient with the kids.

By one year her headaches were gone. Her menses restarted and came regularly. Her runny nose was gone. She said her life feels good for the first time in many years.

By 18 months she became pregnant and gave birth to a health boy.

Here you see the power of homeopathy. The right remedy for her- helped her not only stop having headaches al together, but all her other problems resolved also.

Here is another example.

Beth was a 35 year old woman who came in complaining of migraines.

Her headaches are a pounding pain which start on the left side above the temple and moves to behind the left ear. If it lasts for a few days then it will extended to the right side. The headaches usually happen every 2-3 weeks and often last for 2-5 days. The pain is made worse by noise, light and bending forward and any fast motion. The headache is accompanied by a heaviness. Cold applications slightly ameliorates the pain. 1-2 days after the headache begins nausea starts but caffeine helps the nausea.

She also has severe sleep problems. She was able to fall asleep with no problem. But for the past 2 years she would wake after 4-5 hours and be totally awake and totally unable to go back to sleep. She would be full of energy. But after about 3 hours her energy would run out and she would be dragging for the rest of the day.

She has severe low energy. She was exhausted from any activity. After getting dressed she would need to rest for 20 minutes. Her other problems were cold sores above the upper lip, sinusitis and chronic urinary tract infections.

We see that she craves sweets, salty food and smoked food and has an aversion to olives, coffee, slimy foos and spicy food. She feels cold alot. She sleeps on her right side. She is very sensitive to sunlight and is sensitive to drafts.

As a child she was very shy, timid, sensitive, acted as a peacemaker and wanted to be alone a lot. Emotionally not much stood out but she has a fear of spiders and an aversion to crowds of people.
Based upon this whole picture we gave her one dose of the homeopathic remedy Sulphur (note this was the right remedy for her but the possibility of it being the right remedy for another person suffering from headaches is low).

After 6 weeks we evaluated and saw that her headaches were more frequent for the first 2 weeks. Then they were less frequent and milder for 2 weeks and there had been none for the past 2 weeks.

She is much less tired. Her sinuses are draining more - less plugged up. She seemed much calmer and happier. Her general well being was much better.

At the end of the appointment we asked her what about her sleep problems, because she didn’t mention them at all. She laughed and said that she had forgotten all about them. She only woke up early 1 day in the past month instead of every day. She is able to sleep 8 hours with no problems. Her morning fatigue is much less. She was on time to work every day this month, instead of being always late. She doesn’t have to rest as long between activities.

By 3 months she had had no headaches. No sleep problems and much less sinus problems. She has lots of energy. She is getting out and doing things socially – which she hadn't in years. She is feeling better about herself and is much happier.

So again you see homeopathy in action- a person’s life improved across the board- including no more headaches.

Here is what a patient said about his experiences:

I decided maybe if homeopathy helped my family so much then maybe it can help with my migraines. I was definitely impressed. No pain relievers helped my migraines but homeopathy has worked for me. The headaches have decreased and I am now a firm believer in homeopathy. Our family will turn to homeopathy to deal with any of its health needs.
