Homeopathy should always be offered to migraine sufferers, because for most, if not all, individuals, the results can be incredible. What’s more, the most unrelenting of migraines often ease with homeopathic treatment too, resulting in far fewer migraine attacks of less severity and also shorter duration.
Linda, a 58-year-old kindergarten teacher, had suffered with migraines for more than 40 years. She could be struck at any time and without warning. A small flash of light, a slight wave of nausea were the only fleeting signs she would experience before a migraine was to begin. What followed suit was the terrible, crushing pain all around her head, perhaps, worse on the left side, with some nausea, but rarely vomiting.
If a migraine struck during work, Linda would have to leave school, go home, lie still in a dark and quiet room, and sleep it off. Through the raising of her two sons, she would lean on her mother and husband to step in when she could not function, often two days at a time, two or three times a month. Though she dearly appreciated her family’s support, she also hated being reliant on anyone.
HORMONE CONNECTION, OR…
Linda had always assumed her migraines would resolve with menopause, as they had been worse before her periods. In fact, she could count on getting a premenstrual migraine, like clockwork. But, when her periods ceased in her late 40s, Linda found no relief. In some ways, the headaches were even more bothersome; their unpredictability meant that she could not make plans nor reliably be available to friends and family.
For an otherwise upbeat, positive person, Linda was starting to feel a bit desperate. The painful and life disrupting migraines were really getting her down, and that’s what led her to my door.
SPOILSPORT
Migraines are more than just headaches. They are chronic and severely painful, and for some people, they can last for days, wreaking havoc on lives and plans. Migraines often have clear phases, including the aura [sensory warning signs of an impending attack, such as flashes of light, blind spots, or tingling], nausea, and severe sensitivity to light and noise.

Chronic Illness, Immunity & Homeopathy
We, homeopaths, were right in our opposition to the use of allopathic pharmaceutical medicine, at the ‘drop’ of a symptom. This is primarily because homeopathy, when seen from a health ecology/ microbiome/immunity/environmental perspective, makes fundamental biological sense. Its principles are universally applicable; they have also shown clinical evidence of efficacy, across a wide range of conditions and fields that include physical and mental health.

The Application Of The Law Of Similars In Homeopathic Clinical Practice
It is to be presumed that all homeopaths agree on the universal law of cure appertaining to the exclusive therapeutics of our healing art. Dr Samuel Hahnemann, MD, the founder of homeopathy, has fully explained, by logical arguments, to be found in the 53rd to 56th paragraphs of his Organon, that there can be no other possible law applied for the cure of the sick than the law of the similars.
Homeopathy Is Patient-Centric Medicine
Homeopathy is patient-centric, energy medicine. A medicine repeatedly taken by a healthy person causes symptoms; but, in a sick person with those symptoms, that remedy makes the symptoms disappear. In order to find the bespoke remedy, a homeopath gets at and to the essence, finding the most similar remedy.
The Hypersensitive Individual: Hope & Understanding Thro' Homeopathy
There is so much hoopla for hypersensitivity as a new condition. It has always existed. It was, in fact, Dr Samuel Hahnemann, MD, the father of homeopathy, who first formulated the concept and estimated that 10 per cent of his patients were hypersensitive. Well, the fact also is homeopathy, as always, looks out for the initial sensitive cause and treats the whole person. In so doing, it helps to resolve their sensitive disorder and establishes balance to their sensitivity so that the world becomes a friendlier place to live in.
Caulophyllum & Pregnancy
The homeopathic Caulophyllum is a beautiful remedy for women in their childbearing years... for certain conditions during pregnancy, labour, or after birth. In late pregnancy, it is useful for annoying contractions. In long-drawn-out labour, it is needed for extremely painful, ineffective contractions that do not ‘work.’
Ferrum Metallicum: The Red, Hot Homeopathic Remedy
The analysis of each homeopathic remedy is always fascinating as it reveals a myriad of characteristics associated not only with the substance, from which the remedy is derived, but also their historical, mythological and astronomical framework that many of them embody. Ferrum Metallicum is a good, also interesting, example in the context.
Homeopathy & Flu
Most homeopaths are taught that when a person develops an acute illness, such as flu, it could be an exacerbation of their chronic complaints. If this is, indeed, the case, chronic symptoms may persist during the acute illness, but with the cold, or flu, symptoms added on. What also often helps the patient is a repetition of their constitutional remedy.
