Are you suffering from pain that prevents you from attending your exams? There is a permanent solution that does not require painkillers or surgery. In today’s world, migraines affect people of all ages, including children, adults, and the elderly.

There is a lot of pain and suffering associated with these treatment aspects, not just because of the pain itself. Migraine sufferers can benefit from the gentle treatment protocols offered by homeopathy. Homeopathy cures pain permanently by understanding the causative factors and seeking treatment from it.
What is a migraine? How does it differ from normal headaches?
A migraine is a throbbing or pulsating type of headache usually appearing on one side of the head. It’s often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light and sounds. Some people experience an aura just before the attack, such as flashes of light or blind spots in front of the eyes.
Stages of migraine
Typically, migraine progresses through 4 stages: prodromal stage, aura, attack, and post-dermal stage.
Prodromal stage
One or two days before the attack, some warning signs may appear in the patient, such as mood changes, constipation, increased urination, etc.
Aura
An aura might occur before or during the episode. Visual auras are common, like seeing flashes of light or blind spots. Also, pin and needle sensations in arms and legs are common.
Attack
Migraines usually last from 4 to 72 hrs if untreated. Pain is often felt on one side of the head, accompanied by nausea and vomiting. The patient feels very irritable and oversensitive to slight noise and bright lights.
Post-normal stage
After a period of terrible pain, patients feel elated and enter into a period of confusion. This short period may last for a few hours.
Causes of migraine
There are some chemicals in our brain to regulate impulses. Researchers say that imbalances in these chemicals, including serotonin, are causing migraine attacks. However, genetic and environmental factors also play a role in the development of migraine.
Triggering factors of migraine
Stress– mental stress in the place or home can trigger the pain.
Hormonal changes in women– in women migraine attacks are common during or before menses, during pregnancy, and menopause period due to hormonal variations. The use of oral contraceptives also worsens the condition.
Drinks– excessive use of alcohol, wine, caffeine, etc. stimulate the pain.
Sleep changes– the absence of good sleep or excessive sleep habit can trigger migraine.
Foods– excessive use of processed foods, cheese, chocolate, and food additives, preservatives might trigger the attack.
External stimulus– bright light, loud sounds, and strong smells like perfumes can trigger migraine in many people.
Scope of homeopathy in the treatment of Migraine.
Most people are dependent on painkillers for these migraine episodes. Overuse of these medications can finally result in Overuse headaches. That means, painkillers stop their pain-killing ability and begin to cause drug-induced headaches. This affects the patient badly in his body. Homeopathy offers a holistic and gentle treatment for migraine. It considers both triggering factors and presenting symptoms in the patient, and chooses a similar remedy. The main advantage of homeopathy is it is free of side effects, unlike painkillers. Also, the appearance of the next attack can be prevented by these medicines. Along with homeopathy treatment, yoga and massage therapies prove beneficial to the patient. The patient feels emotionally better and an enhanced sense of well-being occurs through this homeopathy treatment.
