Migraine & acidity 11652...India
An 18-year-old boy had been struggling with severe headaches for five years since 2018, occurring after cycling home from school in the scorching sun. The pain diagnosed as migraine afflicted both sides of his head. Exposure to loud noise, exacerbated the headaches, as did studying or reading. He took prescribed medication for one week; though this provided relief, financial constraint prevented him from continuing the treatment. Instead, applying a pain balm would make him sleep for 2 to 4 hours, resulting in complete relief.
Over the past three years, the headaches were accompanied by dizziness and burning sensation in the chest 3 to 4 times a week; an ayurvedic digestive tablet (hajmola) provided relief from burning feeling. However, he was upset that, despite maintaining a moderately healthy diet, his symptoms persisted, significantly impacting his studies. He had to miss school 2 to 3 times a week. During holidays, when he avoided sun exposure, he was fine. Additionally, also three years ago, he started to stammer which worsened with time but the practitioner decided to treat this later and on 12 May 23, gave him:
CC4.10 Indigestion + CC11.4 Migraines + CC14.1 Male tonic + CC15.1 Mental & Emotional tonic + CC17.3 Brain & Memory tonic…TDS
On 25 May, after two weeks of diligently and judiciously taking the remedy, he excitedly conveyed that the migraine episodes had reduced to two per week at only half intensity. additionally, there were only 2 to 3 instances of mild dizziness and burning sensation. He no longer needed the balm or the digestive tablets. His energy levels were up and he was able to focus better on his studies.
After three weeks on 16 June, during his revisit, he looked relaxed and happier. Headache was occurring once a week with 80% decrease in intensity. In another month, dizziness and burning sensation completely disappeared with only two mild episodes of headache. As he remained symptom-free even when exposed to his usual triggers, on 18 Aug, dosage was reduced to BD and tapered off before stopping on 8 Oct. After starting vibrionics, he did not miss school even for a single day!
As of 9 Apr 2024, there has been no recurrence of any symptom. He gets a mild headache with prolonged use of laptop, which has prompted him to manage his screentime effectively. He has been taking vibrionics for stammering since 20 Oct 2023 and there is 50% improvement in less than six months.
