Homeopathic remedies for migraine
Migraine is a pulsating pain that increases in intensity affecting one or both sides of the brain. The sufferers of Migraine may feel uneasy, low and sad, fatigued and experience stiffness in the neck; severe changes in their appetite and mild disorientation.
According to a World Health Organization factsheet on headache disorders, migraines affect more than 30 percent of the adult population globally. People often dismiss migraines as just a common headache; ramifications of which might be farreaching.
“The problem of migraine headaches occurs in those with a ‘ready’ brain condition, which is in fact a condition marked by the hyper excitability of the brain. This condition is genetically inherited and about 20 per cent people are migraine prone individuals. Whenever this ‘ready’ brain is influenced by triggers (both environmental and lifestyle mistakes), a severe headache with distinctly recognizable features occur. This headache is called migraine.”
Some of the causes of migraine include:
- Environmental factors: Mainly due to heat, high intensity light, increased humidity, changes in weather conditions
- Lifestyle factors: Consumption of fermented foods with Monosodium glutamate, skipping breakfast also leads to migraine.
- Medications: Oral contraceptives and vasodilators such as nitroglycerin can aggravate migraines.
- Physical factors: Intense physical exertion also might provoke migraines
