Homeopathic Remedies for Headache
Severe headache that is one sided and typically present around one eye (periorbital headache) and appears in clusters (in a group) lasting for weeks or months is referred to as cluster headache. A person experiences frequent headache, which is followed by a period of rest when there is no headache. The headache during the cluster period is mostly noticed at precisely the same hour each day for several weeks or even months. The duration of each episode of headache lasts from 15 minutes to about 3 hours .There are cases in which episodes of cluster headache show a seasonal occurrence in which the cluster appears in a specific season. Cluster headache, thus, has two phases. The first phase refers to the period during which bouts of headache appear frequently, and then there is the second phase of pain-free period during which there is no headache.
Homeopathic remedies are very beneficial for cluster headaches that provide natural, outstanding treatment for this complaint. They provide complete relief from cluster headaches. Homeopathic remedies for cluster headache provide relief from acute pain and work to remove the disorder from its root so there is no recurrence. Conventional mode offers help in cases of cluster headache with medicines like steroids, some nasal sprays, and certain medicines given as injection. To prevent effects of these anti allergic medicines, anti-seizure medicines, medicines used for high blood pressure treatment and antidepressants are recommended. They extend temporary relief and have many side effects when used for extended time periods. However, homeopathic medicines are made of completely safe natural substances with zero side effects.
Biphasic treatment for complete recovery
The homeopathic treatment for cluster headache is done in two phases. In the first phase, medicines are prescribed to provide relief from acute pain. Homeopathy has very effective medicines for relieving bouts of cluster headache. Once acute pain resolves, the second phase of treatment is started. In the second phase, treatment is aimed at treating chronic tendency to remove the condition from its root with the most beneficial natural homeopathic remedies. With the use of Homeopathic medicines, the intensity and frequency of cluster headache gradually reduces and with the long-term use of appropriate homeopathic remedies, cluster headache is extricated from its roots.
Individual prescription as per case details
In every case of cluster headache, a precise note is made of all the symptom details. This is followed by proper case evaluation to choose the best medicine. When selecting the remedies for cluster headache, the side of pain, location of pain, type of pain, time of the recurrence of pain (any particular time of day — it may be every day, every alternate day, every week, or every month) to note periodicity and the modalities of increase or decrease of pain are all taken note of to select the most suitable homeopathic remedy as per the case.

These work gently, in a harmless way thus are 100% safe to use. Another advantage of using these medicines is that these medicines do not create any dependency on them and can be easily stopped once there is good recovery.

Having a family history of cluster headache increases risk of it. Men are at more risk of cluster headache as compared to women.

Dear Dr Sharma,
I am writing to you behalf of my daughter who is 28 years old and suffered from cluster headaches now for some 6 years or more. They started after she had a severe bought of viral meningitis. She gets them about twice a year, usually for 3 to 6 weeks in duration, usually in the summer and around Christmas. When she has them they can come intermitantly or daily, and occasionally twice in one day. Usually she is woken up by them in the night and they can last up to 2 to 3 hours. they occur on the right side of her head and behind her right eye. Sometimes they make her sick. They are extremely painful and it is distressing to watch. I have read the remedies and treatments above. What would you prescribe?
Yours sincerely

Respected Dr Sharma jee. I got good relie
Hello – i am 11 yr old boy with cluster headache, mainly in eye on left side. Like a rope tied round my eye & pulled or a screwdriver in my eye. I get pain every morning same time & sometimes 2pm-ish & also in the early evening, & woken up at night with it. It comes every autumn on around the 14th September exactly. & I get a lesser aggravation in Spring-time.
Bryonia 200 helps a bit in an acute attack, & I have proved some help from Carcinosin, Calc Carb & Phosphorus. Can you suggest anything else? I am still experiencing lower level pains, frequently, & background pain, & would like to get of it so I can go back to school, if possible, or at least feel well enough to do schoolwork at home. Can you help?
Hi Free People,The practice of meincdie by local doctors seems to only consist of one of three things these days: making a prescription, ordering diagnostics, or referring to a specialist. They do little more than this. Just think of how they could assist people in improving their health if they employed a range of physical therapies, advised on diet, and if having to use a meincdie, turned to safe homeopathy first.I’m sure many newly graduated doctors soon become disheartened and hate their work when they realise the limitations of what they do and the harm their prescriptions are cause.Fran Sheffield
