Headache and Homeopathy

The headache signals don?t only come from the brain. The pain actually emanates when the nerves present around the skull, head muscles and blood vessels interact with each other. This mesh is what creates the headache signals.

Taking medication for headaches can result in another headache. The medical term used to describe this phenomenon is ?medication overuse headache?. Mostly, during a headache, one tends to pop pills which are easily available at their disposal, often ignoring the instructions printed on the medicine bottle. This often results in a rebound headache that is induced by the drugs previously consumed.

Both sexual excitement as well as sexual activities resulting in an orgasm, can result in a headache. While sexual excitement is capable of triggering a dull headache, a person may feel a severe, sudden and throbbing headache as a result of indulging in any sexual activity. This headache may stay for a few minutes or even extend to few hours. Usually, medication is not required. But, should the situation go out of hand, it?s better to consult the doctor. Your homeopath may suggest you Gelsemium and Bryonia Alba, depending upon the cause of a headache.

Having flat feet can trigger a headache. When flat footed people walk, the entire weight of their body falls on their feet. This forces the muscles to work longer and harder to maintain their body stability. This triggers a chain reaction wherein the pain travels from the calf muscles to the lower back and finally to their head, resulting in a headache. The pain ceases upon lying down in a dark and a cool environment; however the homeopathic medicine Ignatia amara can help you out.
