Overview
Migraines are intense, often one-sided headaches that can last from a few hours to several days. They affect millions of people and can significantly disrupt daily life, work, and relationships. Homeopathy treats migraine not as an isolated symptom but as part of your overall constitution — looking at triggers, patterns, associated symptoms and the type of pain to find the right remedy for you as an individual.
Common symptoms
- Severe throbbing or pulsating headache, often one-sided
- Nausea and vomiting
- Sensitivity to light (photophobia) and sound (phonophobia)
- Visual disturbances or aura before the headache
- Pain that worsens with physical activity
- Neck stiffness
- Fatigue and difficulty concentrating
Causes & contributing factors
- Hormonal fluctuations (particularly in women)
- Stress and anxiety
- Disrupted sleep patterns
- Certain foods and drinks (cheese, alcohol, caffeine)
- Strong sensory stimuli (bright lights, strong smells)
- Weather changes and barometric pressure shifts
- Dehydration and skipped meals
The homeopathic approach
Homeopathic treatment for migraines focuses on identifying your individual migraine pattern — the location of pain, what makes it better or worse, associated symptoms, and emotional triggers. Remedies are selected to address your constitution as a whole, rather than simply suppressing the headache. Over time, regular treatment aims to reduce both the frequency and severity of attacks.
What to expect
At your initial consultation, Dr Siddiq will take a detailed history of your migraine pattern, lifestyle, diet and general health. A personalised remedy will be prescribed. Many patients notice a gradual reduction in the frequency of migraines over the first few months of treatment.
