There was a patient of mine who used to have a regular excuse at school for not doing his homework. The reason he used to give always was that he is suffering from a headache. The teachers would listen to him in the beginning but this had become an old news for them and the boy was being punished from then for not doing his homework, for not concentrating in the class and for many other reasons. This guy even would have the problem of going to sleep. His headaches would start suddenly at any time in the day and would go on for a day or two. His parents also didn’t bother much as even they thought that these were all pranks that were played by this guy just to avoid school and skip studies. It was too late may be a long time of about 3 to 4 years that this problem of his came to be known as migraine.
Many of us might have heard about our friends, acquaintances, relatives telling us that they suffer from migraine. Many of them complaining that it is their life time partner which is not going to leave them. Migraine is a type of headache which develops on one side of the head which is associated with nausea, vomitings and photophobia. A migraine headache can be so intense that all you can do is find a nice dark place to lie down. This headache sometimes subsides in people when they have a nap. Generally there is a triggering factor in many cases like some may start with an headache on exposure to the sun, while in some it may start with hunger, in some it may start due to excessive physical work load.
Some of you might be wondering, when to see the doctor if you feel that you suffer from migraine. You will need to see a doctor if you suffer from symptoms that include having a one sided severe, throbbing, uncontrolled bursting headache associated with nausea and vomiting. According to the allopathic mode of treatment there is no permanent cure for migraine. It is only that the patient will be given a palliative mode of treatment which will help in subsiding the headache for the given point of time, that is until the pain killer will act. The people who suffer from migraine develop a habit of taking pain killers on a regular basis whenever they suffer from a headache. This may lead these people to suffer from regular abdominal pains, excessive secretion of hcl leading to development of ulcers in the abdomen.
The question is how can homeopathy help you?
Homeopathy is a holistic form of treatment which does not cause drug induced complications. When the patient visits a homeopath for the treatment of migraine he will have to go through a detailed form of case taking which will help the doctor in finding out the root cause of the disease. Every disease in our body will definitely have a cause which is related to the mental part of the body. It is not that each case of migraine will be given the same medicine. There are hundreds of medicines in homeopathy which help in the treatment of migraine.
After having a detailed discussion with the patient about his disease the homeopath decides which medicine suits him the best (mental and physical plane). It is not the disease that has to be treated, it is the patient who has to be treated. Once the cause of the disease is known, the patient starts undergoing treatment. In a few months the patient will be free from his disease which will no longer trouble him for the rest of his life. The homeopathic medicine gives the patient a permanent cure for his migraine.
