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. Individualised medication is the key to get the best results.
Safe, herbal medicines
Homeopathy uses natural medicines to treat cluster headache. These medicines contain no chemicals or toxins in it so they never cause any harmful effects. 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.

hello sir my name is Deven patel and i have cluster headache.it starts any time during day and night
it last long for 1-2 hours and its very painful.i cant explain the pain.Is there any cure for cluster headache in homeopathy?if yes then how much weeks or months does it takes to cure?
My cluster headache experience started following a severe motor vehicle accident 12 and a half years ago – Since the Motor vehicle accident I have not been free of head pain – It is almost always worse when I wake up in the morning and after some green tea, some yoga and meditation and breathing in steamed hot air and the use of ice packs and hot tea bags on my eyes and a hot shower in 2 or 3 hours or so it usually gets some better but not always. I am 68 years old and I volunteer at an Animal Shelter and getting outside walking dogs and petting them usually helps me feel better and sometimes I almost forget about the pain I’m having – the pain is most pronounced on my right side around the temple area and right eye but occasionally it becomes a band of pain that is very severe – Your Homeopathic suggestions would be so deeply appreciated – Thank you so much and many Happy Wishes to You !!

Cluster headache really makes people run around.
It is much different in this way than migraine.
My late husband suffered with it.
Through this i met more sufferers in special clinics.
And just to let you all know as well:
What helped them in the end was a treatment with OXYGEN.
10 to 15 minutes. Not to high.
Perhaps that will give you relieve intil the homeopathic temedy sets in.
Thank you so much for caring Dr. Sharma!

Dr. Sharma, my daughter is suffering from cluster headaches and has a ringing in her right ear. Where can we get Cedron, Snaguinaria Can, and Spigelia ? Sometimes she has one behind both eyes with the ringing. Thank you for a response. She does not have health insurance and cannot afford to go to a physician.
Sir, I am a patient suffering from Cluster Headaches for long years.The pain begin from middle place of both eyes and spred to right side of forehead. The pain stays about 3 to 4 hours. with redish and shawlled eye ,burning sensation in right nostril. Reputed allopath doctors in India raised their hand as CH is incurable disease. Now I am to much depresed .Unbareble pain is going on. Only high flow oxygen can give some relief which is more costly to me. In this situation you are requested to give advice or suggest medicine for instant and permanent relief by Homeopatic way please.With regards, Samiran Ray. (9474117122)
