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.
