Migraine is severe
headache, which frequently occurs over one side of the head only. It is
characterized by throbbing and associated with one or more of the following
symptoms: sensitivity to light, nausea and vomiting, and dizziness. Flashes
or patterns before the eyes may precede the headache. At least 20 million
persons in the U.S. suffer from migraines that can recur at intervals
ranging from one day to several years. Women are twice as likely as men to
experience these headaches, and some evidence suggests that migraine
headaches are inherited.
Hormonal level changes
(such as those experienced by women during menopause or menstruation),
endocrine imbalances, and stress are considered precipitating factors of
migraine headaches in susceptible persons.
Conventional treatment may
give prompt relief from pain in acute episodes but it does not prevent
recurrence of the migraine.
With homeopathic medicines,
if well studied constitutional remedy be given to the patient, it removes
the "tendency" of having recurrent headaches in the patient. Thus by the
real sense migraine can be cured with homeopathy.
