Headaches can be divided into different types. The most common are tension headaches, migraines and cluster headaches. The intensity can vary depending on the type of headache, but almost all types are a burden to those affected.
In migraine, for example, there is a strong throbbing pain in an area of the head. In addition, nausea and vomiting, sensitivity to noise, sleep disorders and watery eyes can also occur. The triggers of headaches are often stress, a change in the weather and certain triggers, such as red wine or cheese. Headaches usually disappear after a certain time with supportive homeopathic treatment. However, if the strongest unusual pain remains, a doctor should be consulted as soon as possible.
