Treatment of the disease only with homeopathy or only as supportive therapy?
The migraine can be unbearable for many people affected, as the headaches are often of high intensity. Migraine can be treated in a variety of ways, the goal of pain reduction is primarily determined by the person affected. Therefore, migraine can also be treated by homeopathic medication alone. Whether the pain can be adequately adjusted in this way is at the discretion of the person affected. If necessary, homeopathics can also be combined with pain medication to achieve optimal pain reduction.
When do I have to go to the doctor?
Migraines can be of varying degrees of severity and therefore require treatment at different speeds and intensity. Complications of the disease are rather rare. Therefore, it is not necessary to see a doctor for every migraine attack, especially not if the pain is controllable and can be well adjusted by appropriate medication and homeopathic remedies. In some cases, however, recurrent migraine attacks occur, which can make prophylaxis necessary. This should be discussed accordingly with a doctor.
Other alternative forms of therapy
An important part of the therapy of migraine is also a change in diet. There are numerous so-called triggers that can be considered as causes for triggering a migraine attack. It may therefore make sense to avoid these foods.
These include cheese, red wine, bananas or chocolate. Gluten intolerance can also play a role in some sufferers.All in all, a balanced and healthy diet is very important and can help prevent migraines. Other important components of migraine treatment are relaxation exercises.
There are different types and procedures that can help to relax the body and reduce stress. These include autogenic training and muscle relaxation according to Jacobson. Furthermore, sufficient exercise, regular sports and certain sports, such as yoga or Pilates, are ways to relax the body. A pain diary can also be useful to record the exact circumstances of the migraine. In this way, conclusions can be drawn about possible triggers of the headache.
