homeopathic medicines for headache

If there is a symptom that almost every human being understands because they have ever suffered from it, that is a headache. Is about an effectively universal pathology and with a great variety of forms of presentation, although with the characteristic of always being associated with general malaise, to the point that it does not allow us to carry out our work at full capacity.

Nor is it rare to find someone live with that pain on a regular basis and he settles for placating it with painkillers each time so it doesn’t interfere with his routine.

Headache is a message from the body

It is true that in most cases headaches do not hide serious illnesses or immediate risk, but precisely to rule out this possibility it will always be necessary to take a detailed and meticulous medical history. And sometimes certain tests will be necessary to correctly establish a differential diagnosis.

But perhaps as or more important than that will be wondering what is causing us this discomfort. The body permanently alerts us to our state, and a repeated headache should be interpreted as a sign that something is not right.

If we shut it down, it will probably allow us to function undisturbed for a while, but will appear again and perhaps each time you need a higher dose of pain reliever or its use will have to be more repeated.

If we listen to it, perhaps it leads us to the source that triggers such damage: that is the key that opens the door to true healing. Homeopathy tries to give the necessary stimulus to find a response to this signal, and give the body the possibility of its own reaction to any imbalance.

personal feelings matter

The most frequent headache, the so-called tension headache, It is usually caused by the sustained contraction of muscle groups that are inserted in the neck and skull, under the scalp.

Its contraction is generally generated due to both physical (postural) and especially emotional overloads. If it is repeated, it will be extremely important for the homeopathic doctor to collect the characteristics that cause the same diagnosis to be experienced differently in each individual: at what time it appears, what favors or triggers it, where it is located, what calms or mitigates it.

The sensations experienced by the person who suffers from it will be essential to specify the most suitable treatment in each case, both to alleviate as to cure and prevent.

disabling headaches

Sara came in for treatment of acne rosacea that had not improved with her conventional medication. She also suffered for years violent headaches that they had even forced her to interrupt her professional activity as a teacher.

He claimed that they were always accompanied by an unpleasant sensation of skull congestion, as if it were swollen. He also suffered from rheumatic pain, especially at night and on days with higher humidity.

treatment with Kali iodatum made me progressively better both rosacea and its manifestations in the joints, but it was not until ten months later that Sara realized that since she had started the treatment she had not suffered from a headache again, surely the first of the symptoms described that she had presented , and therefore the one with whom he had become most accustomed to living.

Expressions such as “this situation is causing me a real headache”, so common, are a reflection that the problems and tensions that life generates are like a great weight that falls on this very unique organ. We interpret in our daily language that everything that generates tension or that requires resolution must go through a processor that it can be saturated if the stimuli arrive in excess.

eat and breathe better

But it is also true that there are other factors that can predispose and even trigger a headache.

certain foods like alcohol, chocolate or coffee are related to him. Often it is not so much a specific food as the overload of the digestive system that causes the discomfort in the head.

In these cases, one must think that purifying organs (basically liver and gallbladder) are chronically saturated. It will therefore be necessary to abstain from certain toxins, as well as assess the need for a cleansing fast before starting any other treatment.

Headaches after heavy meals

Toni, in his early thirties, often presented a pain as if pressed on the top of the head, especially after copious meals which in turn caused very bad digestion and a great feeling of abdominal flatulence.

Only partially improved by leaving the building for cold air, despite being extremely cold. After a couple of doses of Lycopodium he noticed an improvement in his state of high irascibility and began to sleep better.

Their digestions also improved and at the same time he saw how his headaches became a subtle memory of what they were, bearable and much more fleeting.

Headaches and sinusitis

It is also common to find cases of headaches in which a predominant poor ventilation of the paranasal sinuses, what is commonly known as chronic sinusitis.

Rosa had suffered from repeated acute sinus disorders as a young woman, but when she went to the office what really bothered her was that sudden frontal pain that he tortured her every weekend, more intensely if she had previously caught cold.

was associated with profuse and unpleasant-smelling sweat from the scalp, as well as a great sensitivity of the bones of the nose. She was a rather shy and insecure girl, but very stubborn. Her treatment with Silicea helped her get through a difficult stage in her life, while her pounding headaches subsided.

When there are vascular factors that can influence this symptom, it will be necessary to rule out that the cause is not found in established arterial hypertension. For this, it is necessary to control the tension figures. In this case, the presentation is usually pain or a sensation of weight in the occipital area, usually in the morning and in advanced ages.

migraine attacks

Approximately 10% of headaches that go to the doctor are diagnosed as migraines. Although it is not always easy to distinguish them from other types of headaches, it is common to think of them when the presentation of the pain is on one side only (hence they are also called migraines) and are accompanied by nausea, vomiting and a special intolerance to light.

In some cases those who suffer from migraine report previous visual symptoms, such as light flashes or blurred and distorted vision, known as an aura.

migraines They tend to occur more frequently in women and they can be linked to hereditary factors, either by genetic transmission or by habits acquired in the family environment.

Alleviating these terrible crises is not an easy task. Normally whoever suffers from them requires a absolute isolation, and you need to find a space of maximum tranquility, without lights or sounds that worsen your pain.

The best help that can be received in these cases is one that prevents crises, that investigates the causes that are causing that bodily cry in order to solve them and return to the individual the lost balance.

That was the experience of Sandra, a young university student who came to the clinic for suffering numbing headaches which used to start at the nape of the neck and went up towards the front of the skull.

almost always appeared just before exam time and they were often preceded by visual aura symptoms. She called attention to the fact that the pain partially decreased after urination.

During the episode Sandra alone I wanted to be alone and in the dark, without anyone bothering her. The first take of Gelsemium, far from fixing the situation, was accompanied by a new migraine attack that she herself described as one of the worst she had ever had.

But from that moment on the improvement was clear, the terrible pain stopped presenting itself and Sandra began to improve her performance and regain her self-confidence.

emotional inquiry

When a headache recurs we must ask ourselves What could have caused it? what we have done without wanting to or what we have stopped doing because we do not believe ourselves capable of it.

What alters our emotional state it can definitively influence the genesis of one of humanity’s oldest ills. Knowing how to listen to our inner voice is not an easy task, and yet it is the most direct and accurate way to recover the freshness and clarity of our mental activity.
