Homeopathic medicine, treatment and remedies for Headache

Headache is a common condition characterized by pain in any region of the head or neck. On the basis of the cause and symptoms, headaches are classified into primary and secondary.

Primary headache: Primary headaches occur due to overactivity in the pain-sensitive structures of the head, including nerves, blood vessels and muscles of the head and neck. Alcohol, stress, change in sleep pattern or loss of sleep, unhealthy eating habits, certain food products and poor posture are factors that can trigger primary headaches. Primary headaches typically occur without any clear discernible cause. These include migraine, tension headache, cluster headache and sinus headache.

Secondary headache: Secondary headaches are caused by an underlying disease that triggers the pain-sensitive receptors of the head. Secondary headaches can arise due to conditions like sinusitis, ear infection, trigeminal neuralgia and certain life-threatening conditions which require emergency care like stroke, brain aneurysm, haemorrhage (bleeding) around the brain, venous thrombosis (clotting) within the brain, haematoma (collection of blood) in the brain, arteriovenous malformation, infections in the brain (meningitis and encephalitis), brain tumour, high blood pressure, acute hydrocephalus and temporal arteritis.

Homoeopathic treatment for headache relieves the acute pain rapidly and also help in the long-term treatment, reducing the frequency and intensity of subsequent attacks. These remedies consider individual characteristics including personality and physiology, providing a holistic and personalised treatment. Common remedies include glonoine, belladonna, gelsemium and spigelia. Dosage of a remedy is prescribed by the homoeopathic physician based on each individual case.
