The only time that man wishes not to use his head is when he is having a headache! Even the mild heaviness in the head disrupts our daily life; the severe excruciating pain literally makes it miserable. That’s the only time when banging head against the wall actually provides some relief.

One such extremely painful forms of headache is migraine. Some common migraine symptoms are throbbing, pulsating pain that is sometimes accompanied by nausea/vomiting and intolerance to bright lights as well as noise. Some of the causes of migraine are exposure to sun, hunger or even stress, which is a common problem today.

Some common remedies that provide relief from migraines are painkillers as suggested by the physician, antacids, anti-vomiting tablets, etc. Some traditional ‘nuskas’ like a ‘dose’ of jalebis in the morning (a delicious option even otherwise) works out well in providing relief from the throbbing migraine pain.

However, did you know that all these remedies for migraine only provide temporary solution? They can only help to prolong the inevitable, i.e. another migraine attack. In such condition, why not opt for a safer and an effective migraine treatment - Homeopathy!

The beauty of homeopathy is that no two patients get the same treatment for the reason that every patient has different symptoms and needs different remedies as per his personality. You will be amazed to know that in homeopathy, there are different remedies for migraine as per the location of headache or time when the headache occurs. E.g. For headache on forehead, homeopathic remedies Silicea or Pulsatilla may be useful while for headache on occipital area Gelsemium may be indicated.

Here are 5 best remedies in homeopathy that can help fight migraine.
