Migraine 11568...India
A 32-year-old woman who had been suffering from severe migraines for the past four years was seen in August 2015. She got them frequently. The episodes were triggered by a variety of situations eg, physical strain (journeys, going out for shopping, heavy work load during family functions), mental stress, loud music or noise, exposure to sunlight and lack of sleep. The headaches usually lasted from 24 to 48 hours. She had tried ayurvedic treatments without success. During attacks, she took allopathic painkillers, which she now hoped to avoid. She also suffered from bouts of nausea and restlessness that disturbed her daily routine. She was given:
CC11.4 Migraines + CC12.1 Adult tonic + CC15.1 Mental & Emotional tonic…TDS in water. During attacks, one dose every 10 minutes up to two hours if needed.
After three days’ treatment, she did get a migraine headache, but as soon as the symptoms appeared, she started taking the combo every 10 minutes for an hour. She reported that she was pleasantly surprised to get relief after the fifth dose.
The patient continued taking the remedy at TDS. By 14 October 2015, she had 90% improvement and the dosage was reduced to OD. Fifteen days later (29 October), the patient said she felt she was completely cured because she did not have even a single episode despite a lot physical and mental stress and a lack of sleep during this period. The patient is now on a maintenance dosage of OW. In case of an attack, she has been advised to immediately take the remedy in water every ten minutes for one hour.
