Treatment of the disease only with homeopathy or only as supportive therapy? | Homeopathy to treat headaches

Treatment of the disease only with homeopathy or only as supportive therapy?

Whether headaches can only be treated with homeopathy or whether further therapy is necessary depends on the nature of the complaints.Headaches are often short-lived and occur at irregular, longer intervals. In such cases, treatment of the symptoms by homeopathy is usually sufficient. However, if the headaches are of a pronounced intensity, painkillers are often necessary to relieve the symptoms. In case of recurrence, i.e. recurring headaches, a medical examination with appropriate therapy should be carried out. The homeopathic remedies can then continue to be taken as a supportive treatment after consultation.

When do I have to go to the doctor?

It is not necessary to consult a doctor every time a headache occurs. In most cases headaches are harmless.

• However, a medical examination can be useful in the case of recurring complaints, as certain headache disorders should be treated medically. In this case, homeopathic remedies can also be used as a support.
• Another urgent reason for going to the doctor is sudden massive headaches that have never been noticed before. This can be a more dangerous cause, which should be clarified quickly by a doctor.

Other alternative forms of therapy

A healthy lifestyle is one of the important additional forms of therapy for headaches. This includes a healthy diet that avoids certain triggers and sufficient exercise. A number of Schüssler salts can also be used as an alternative form of therapy for headaches.

• In the diet, minerals essential to the body, such as magnesium or vitamin B, play just as important a role as abstaining from or reducing the consumption of alcohol, chocolate, red wine, cheese and caffeine.
• Daily exercise should take place mainly outdoors and include endurance training as well as mobility and strength to reduce tension.

• These include, for example, Schüssler Salt No. 9, Sodium phosphoricum, which is particularly popular for treating complaints in the forehead area.
• If the headache is associated with heavy exertion, Calcium phosphoricum, the Schüssler salt No. 2,
• And Ferrum phosphoricum, the Schüssler Salt No. 3 can be applied.
• Ferrum phosphoricum is also used in children, often in combination with Schüssler salt No. 5, potassium phosphoricum.
