Hyperactive kid and Homeopathy

Are you worried about your child’s hyperactivity? 

Is your child constantly moving around, is he too fidgety? 

Does he constantly move his legs and arms? 

Does he have difficulty in waiting for his turn while playing with other kids?

Is he having concentration issues while studying –gets easily distracted?  

If so then there are chances that your child could be having Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder commonly called as ADHD.

Recent researches have proven great beneficial role of homeopathic medicines in treating such hyperactivity in children. The greatest benefit that homeopathy offers while treating Adhd is that its medicines are very safe for kids and do not slow down their other activities . Neither are they addictive; this means that once the treatment is over, the medicines can be safely withdrawn.

Adhd refers to condition in the childhood (it may be continue in the adulthood as well) where the child may be physically hyperactive and having concentration issues. Kids are naturally playful and active, which makes it difficult for parent to find out whether their child is naturally active or having a problem ,  thus for a child to be called as hyperactive or suffering from ADHD

Certain criteria to diagnose this disorder in kids

Hyperactive disorder in kids can be divided into usually three kinds

1. Hyperactive – impulsive behavior, where the kids are physically hyperactive and have less impulse control.
2. Inattentive type – where they have difficulty in sustaining attention while studying, playing and doing other activities. 
3. Combined type – here they have both the physical hyperactivity as well as the low attention span.

Hyperactive –Impulsive type symptoms: 

• Constant Fidgety behavior. 
• Moving and squirming frequently. 
• The child has difficulty in remaining in his seat and often leaves seat suddenly during class and can wander away outside the classroom. 
• Running and climbing can be very excessive. 
• The child always seems to be on the go. 
• Excessive talking can be another symptom of Adhd. 
• Blurts out answers even before the question is finished. 
• The child may have difficulty in waiting for his turn while playing. 

Inattentive type the symptoms are:

• The child often makes careless mistakes in schoolwork, homework and other activities. 
• Sustaining attention while studying, playing or other activities is very difficult. 
• Instruction following is very difficult for the child. 
• He may seem to be’ too absorbed’ in his activity while being spoken too. 
• The child may often avoid activities that require prolonged or sustained mental effort.

Causes of Adhd

• Altered brain function and anatomy.
• Genetic factors.
• Maternal smoking and drug use in pregnancy. 
• Childhood exposure to toxins such as lead  and food additives such as artificial coloring or food preservatives.

Researches around the world have proved the supremacy of homeopathic medicines in treating hyperactive disorder  in kids.

 Homeopathic medicines

Hyoscyamus , Veratrum Album , Tarentula  and stramonium  have been proved by researches to be effective in treating adhd. 

Kindly note that the names of the  above mentioned medicines are meant for information only and they should not be used without consulting the physician.

Kidney stones and Homeopathy

  

Kidney stones, also called renal calculi, are solid concretions (crystal aggregations) of dissolved minerals in urine; calculi typically form inside the kidneys or bladder. The terms nephrolithiasis and urolithiasis refer to the presence of calculi in the kidneys and urinary tract, respectively.

A kidney stone is a hard, crystalline mineral material formed within the kidney or urinary tract. Kidney stones are a common cause of blood in the urine (hematuria) and often severe pain in the abdomen, flank, or groin. 

Symptoms

A kidney stone may not cause symptoms until it moves around within your kidney or passes into your ureter, the tube connecting the kidney and bladder. At that point, you may experience these signs and symptoms:

• Severe pain in the side and back, below the ribs
• Pain that spreads to the lower abdomen and groin
• Pain that comes in waves and fluctuates in intensity
• Pain on urination
• Pink, red or brown urine
• Cloudy or foul-smelling urine
• Nausea and vomiting
• Persistent need to urinate
• Urinating more often than usual
• Fever and chills if an infection is present
• Urinating small amounts of urine
• Pain caused by a kidney stone may change — for instance, shifting to a different location or increasing in intensity — as the stone moves through your urinary tract.

Symptoms and signs:

• HYPEREXCRETION OF RELATIVELY INSOLUBLE RINARY CONSTITUENTS such as oxalates, calcium, uric acid, cystine and certain drugs (such as magnesium trisilicate in the treatment of peptic ulcer).
• PHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGES IN URINE such as Urinary pH (which is influenced by diet and medicines), Colloid content, Decreased concentration of crystalloids, Urinary magnesium/calcium ratio.
• ALTERED URINARY CRYSTALLOIDS AND COLLOIDS.
• Either there is an increase in the crystalloid level or a fall in the colloid level, urinary stones may be formed.
• If there is any modification of the colloids e. g. they lose their solvent action or adhesive property, urinary stones may develop.
• DECREASED URINARY OUTPUT OF CITRATE.
• VITAMIN A DEFICIENCY.
• The desquamated cells form nidus for stone formation. This is more applicable to bladder stones.
• URINARY INFECTION.
• Infection disturbs the colloid content of the urine, also causes abnormality in the colloids (which may cause the crystalloid to be precipitated).
• Infection also changes urinary pH and also causes increase in concentration of crystalloids.
• It causes a shift of the pH of the urine to the alkaline side, predisposes urinary infection, and allows the crystalloids to precipitate.
• Due to overproduction of parathormone the bones become decalcified and calcium concentration in the urine is increased. This extra calcium may be deposited in the renal tubules or in the pelvis to form renal calculus.
• PROLONGED IMMOBILISATION.
• NIDUS OF STONE FORMATION.

Types of kidney stones

Knowing the type of kidney stone helps determine the cause and may give clues on how to reduce your risk of getting more kidney stones. Types of kidney stones include:

Calcium stones. Most kidney stones are calcium stones, usually in the form of calcium oxalate. Oxalate is a naturally occurring substance found in food. Some fruits and vegetables, as well as nuts and chocolate, have high oxalate levels. Your liver also produces oxalate. Dietary factors, high doses of vitamin D, intestinal bypass surgery and several metabolic disorders can increase the concentration of calcium or oxalate in urine. Calcium stones may also occur in the form of calcium phosphate.

Struvite stones. Struvite stones form in response to an infection, such as a urinary tract infection. These stones can grow quickly and become quite large, sometimes with few symptoms or little warning.

Uric acid stones. Uric acid stones can form in people who don't drink enough fluids or who lose too much fluid, those who eat a high-protein diet, and those who have gout. Certain genetic factors also may increase your risk of uric acid stones.

Cystine stones. These stones form in people with a hereditary disorder that causes the kidneys to excrete too much of certain amino acids (cystinuria).

Other stones. Other, rarer types of kidney stones also can occur.

Factors that increase your risk of developing kidney stones include:

Family or personal history. If someone in your family has kidney stones, you're more likely to develop stones, too. And if you've already had one or more kidney stones, you're at increased risk of developing another.

Dehydration. Not drinking enough water each day can increase your risk of kidney stones. People who live in warm climates and those who sweat a lot may be at higher risk than others.

Certain diets. Eating a diet that's high in protein, sodium and sugar may increase your risk of some types of kidney stones. This is especially true with a high-sodium diet. Too much sodium in your diet increases the amount of calcium your kidneys must filter and significantly increases your risk of kidney stones.

Being obese. High body mass index (BMI), large waist size and weight gain have been linked to an increased risk of kidney stones.

Digestive diseases and surgery. Gastric bypass surgery, inflammatory bowel disease or chronic diarrhea can cause changes in the digestive process that affect your absorption of calcium and water, increasing the levels of stone-forming substances in your urine.

Other medical conditions. Diseases and conditions that may increase your risk of kidney stones include renal tubular acidosis, cystinuria, hyperparathyroidism, certain medications and some urinary tract infections.

Symptoms of Renal calculi

• Colicky pain: “loin to groin”. Often described as “the worst pain […] ever experienced”.
• Hematuria: blood in the urine, due to minor damage to inside wall of kidney, ureter and/or urethra.
• Pyuria: pus (white blood cells) in the urine.
• Dysuria: burning on urination when passing stones (rare). More typical of infection.
• Oliguria: reduced urinary volume caused by obstruction of the bladder or urethra by stone, or extremely rarely, simultaneous obstruction of both ureters by a stone.
• Abdominal distension.
• Nausea/vomiting: embryological link with intestine – stimulates the vomiting center.
• Fever and chills.
• Hydronephrosis.
• Postrenal azotemia: when kidney stone blocks ureter.
• Frequency in micturition: Defined as an increase in number of voids per day (>than 5 times), but not an increase of total urine output per day (2500 ml). That would be called polyuria.
• Loss of appetite.
• Loss of weight.

Tips for patients

• Fluid intake should he high at all times. Drink 5 Litres of fluid - water, lassi , juice etc.
• Avoidance of milk, cheese and great deal of calcium should be advised. 
• Avoid Spinach, cauliflower, tomatoes. In case you have to put tomatoes, please deseed and deskin them.
• Urine should be kept acid all the time. Alkalies should be prohibited or used in lesser quantities in those patients who are suffering from peptic ulcer.
• Vitamin D should be stopped or used in very low quantity.
• Patients with hyperuricemia should avoid red meats, offal and fish, which are rich in purines, and should receive treatment with allopurinol.
• Eggs, meat and fish are high in sulphur containing proteins and should be restricted in patients with cystinuria.

Treatment in homeopathy

The homeopathic medicines are selected after a full individualizing examination and case-analysis, which includes the medical history of the patient, physical and mental constitution etc. A miasmatic tendency (predisposition/susceptibility) is also often taken into account for the treatment of chronic conditions. The medicines given below indicate the therapeutic affinity but this is not a complete and definite guide to the treatment of this condition. The symptoms listed against each medicine may not be directly related to this disease because in homeopathy general symptoms and constitutional indications are also taken into account for selecting a remedy.

Arthritis and Homeopathy

Arthritis is an inflammation of a joint. Pains in the joints are not always due to arthritis. Certain conditions may set off an attack of arthritis. It may be caused from a poor diet,  an injury, tonsils, infection of the teeth or other parts of the body, exposure to cold and dampness.

Symptoms associated with arthritis

• Stiffness
• Redness
• Swelling
• Limitation of movements
• May also associated with fever
• Weight loss
• Carditis in specific medical conditions of arthritis.

Causes of Arthritis

• Injury:  Damage to bone, ligament and cartilage due to injury,  that ultimately leads to severe pain.
• Infection:  Any kind of infection to the joint may result arthritis.
• Obesity and advanced age:  Both are very common cause of arthritis.
• Overuse:  Overuse of knee joint can cause bursitis which ultimately leads to intense pain.
• Sprain:  Due to sudden unnatural movements causes pain as well as restriction of movement of the joint.
• Dislocation
• Other causes:  Includes Sarcoidosis, Sickle cell disease, Lupus, Kawasaki disease, Crohn’s disease, bone tumors, bleeding disorders etc.

 Different Types of Arthritis:

Infectious arthritis: Its also known as septic arthritis, is an inflammation of a joint caused by an infection of joint fluid and joint tissue produced by a bacterial invasion. It can develop by an entry of germs into the joint due to an injury, wound or skin abrasion. Infectious diseases such as gonorrhea or tuberculosis elsewhere in the body may travel from the infected area to the joints through the blood. The infected joint is painful, swollen, red, tender, and hot. The pain gets worse with movement.

Osteoarthritis: It is wearing and tearing away of cartilage and joint tissues in the knees, back, neck, and the last joints of each finger. It is characterized by the degeneration of cartilage and the growth of bumpy lumps in the joints. It is most common in people advancing into old age. The most common symptoms of osteoarthritis are stiffness, pain, heat, and loss of dexterity. Changes in the weather may flare up an attack.

Rheumatoid arthritis: It is a chronic, inflammatory and destructive disease of the joints and soft tissue. The begins in middle age, and most often in women. The symptoms include pain with stiffness in the joints of the hands, fingers, wrists, elbows, shoulder, feet, ankles, knees, or hips. After an attack, there may be scarring and new bone formation which cause deformities and loss of movement in the joint.
joints, cartilage, synovial membranes, muscles, and ligaments are involved.

Rheumatoid arthritis may be due to an autoimmune disease or infectious agent. Rheumatoid arthritis has a point of origin in the intestine. It is caused by an over consumption of improper food, poor digestion, and a slow metabolism.

Gout: It is characterized by inflammation of the joints of the hands and feet especially of the big toe caused by elevated blood levels of uric acids. Gout is associated with certain foods that are rich in chemicals called purines. Purines such as eggplants, peppers, anchovies, mushrooms, tomatoes, shellfish, peanuts, and meat are transformed in the organism into uric acids. Excess uric acids in the form of urate crystals accumulate in the joints and cause pain and inflammation. There are two forms of gout, primary gout and secondary gout. Primary gout is linked to inherited defect in metabolism. Secondary gout is a failure of the kidney to excrete uric acids. The kidneys are the principal organs of elimination of metabolic products. When there is an overproduction of uric acid, it reduces the kidneys ability to keep up with the elimination process. If the kidneys are unable to keep up with the overload, they will dump the urate crystals into the blood. As urate crystals travel throughout the system through the blood, they are deposited in the joints and tissues of the body.

Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis: It is an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation of the joints and soft tissue affecting children 16 years old and under.

Polyarthritic rheumatoid: It is inflammation and soft tissue swelling of many joints at the same time.

Arthritis Healing Diet

• Avoid gluten and dairy products.
• Consume almond milk or rice milk, instead of cow’s milk.
• Eat a well balanced diet of organic fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds.
• Eat chicken, turkey, eggs, and oily fish.

• Palpitations
• Weight loss with the same or increased food intake
• Increased frequency of defecation
• Bulging eyes
• Sleep Disturbance
• Muscle weakness

The cardiac exam reveals signs associated with a high cardiac output, including tachycardia, although atrial fibrillation is also common, a prominent S4, and flow murmurs. The thyroid gland may be diffusely enlarged, nodular, or even normal in size. Signs and symptoms may range from very mild to severe. Laboratory tests almost always show a low TSH and a high T3. The total and free T4 are also usually increased.

Hypothyroidism is 6 times more prevalent in females than males. Other causes apart from hashimoto are:

1. Certain medicines given for respiratory diseases have potassium iodide in them which can reduce the levels of thyroid hormones.
2. In certain parts of north India iodine  deficiency is found which causes raised TSH levels.
3. Lot of antidepressants have lithium carbonate which inhibits the release of thyroid hormones..

Medicines in Homeopathy

Medicines like Calcare phos, Calcarea carb, Lapis alb, Iodium, Thyroidinum, Spongia, Lycopus, Calcarea iod etc are often found indicated in cases of hyperthyroidism.

These medicines are only suggestive and should not be taken without consulting a homoeopathic physician..

Hypothyroidism in Homeopathy

Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland is underactive and does not produce sufficient amounts of thyroid hormones required in the body. The most cause of hypothyroidism is Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is an autoimmune disorder in which the antibodies are produced by the immune system against its own tissue, which in turn attacks the thyroid gland resulting in hypothyroidism.Severe Iodine deficiency can also lead to hypothyroidism . Natural Homeopathic remedies for hypothyroidism are highly effective and especially useful for people who want to avoid the side effects of prescription drugs.

Main symptoms of hypothyroidism

Tiredness

Weight gain 

Cold intolerance 

Aches and pains 

Muscle stiffness 

Iron deficiency 

Dry skin 

Constipation 

Foods that promote production of  T3,T4,TSH which are the thyroid hormones are:

1. Cabbage
2. Water chestnut as a fruit or as flour(singhare ka atta)
3. Makhane roasted as a snack
4. Coconut

At least one of these things should be had daily.

Diabetes Mellitus

Diabetes mellitus This condition is caused in our body due to deficiency of insulin hormone which is secreted by the pancreas. Common symptoms are-fatigue, increased thirst , increased frequency of urination , increased thirst etc.

Diabetes is characterized by:

Elevated blood sugars for months to years.

Both hereditary and environmental factors leading to its development and progression.

A relative or absolute deficiency of effective circulating insulin. Insulin is a substance made by the pancreas which lowers blood sugar in conjunction with meals. Diabetes is characterized by either:

 an inability of the pancreas to produce insulin (type 1 or insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus) or an inability of insulin to exert its normal physiological actions (type 2 or non-insulin dependent diabetes).

Often recognized in patients by:

• Excessive urination
• Thirst
• Weight loss
• Lack of energy

But diabetes is often silent and may exist for many years without the individual’s noticing it.

Effects certain “target tissues,” that is, tissues which are vulnerable to the damaging effects of chronically high blood sugar levels. These target tissues are the eye, the kidney, the nerves and the large blood vessels, such as in the heart.

A HEALTHY DIET

The diabetic diet should consist of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Half of the calories should come from complex carbohydrates. This comprises, whole grain breads, cereals, fruit, vegetables and low fat milk. a diabetic diet is all about calories, the right sort of carbohydrates in the right form, salads and vegetables, low fat yogurt, skimmed milk, fruit (preferably an apple, orange or a mosambi), and cereals with low glycemic index. Polysaturated or monosaturated fats help increase HDL cholesterol, and reduce LDL cholesterol. Corn oil, safflower and soybean oil are good mediums.A low fat diet , adequate protein and low salt intake should complete it. Rounded off with adequate exercise, you should have the diabetes under control.

PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES

Everyone needs regular aerobic exercise, and people with diabetes are no exception.

Walking, hiking, jogging, biking, tennis, cross-country skiing and swimming are all good choices.Aim for at least 30 minutes of aerobic exercise most days

• Exercise helps reduce blood glucose levels and makes insulin more effective.
• Exercise also helps people lose weight faster.
• Exercise helps people maintain their lower weight.
• Exercise is believed to improve insulin's sensitivity (its ability to work).
• Exercise reduces the dosage requirement or the need for blood-glucose medications
• Exercise reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.

HEALTHY WEIGHT

Being overweight is the greatest risk factor for type 2 diabetes. That's because fat makes your cells more resistant to insulin. But when you lose weight, the process reverses and your cells become more receptive to insulin. For some people with type 2 diabetes, weight loss is all that's needed to restore blood sugar to normal. Furthermore, a modest weight loss of 10 to 20 pounds is often enough.

HOMOEOPATHIC TREATMENT

Diabetes mellitus being a chronic disease is treated effectively by homoeopathic medicines.

1.Constitutional medicine: based on the constitution of the patient the most indicated medicine covering all the symptoms is prescribed. Some useful constitutional medicines found are Lycopodium, Sulphur, Argentum nitricum, Natrum mur, Calcarea carb.

2. Controlling diabetes gets very difficult when the patient is highly stressed- office,home ,emotional,travelling or death of someone close by. At this point homeopathic medicine act very effectively and help in restoration of health by helping the brain to cope better with the stress. These medicines also promote insulin production by the islets of Langerhans that secrete insulin in the pancreas.
Within 3 months of medication the energy levels are back to normal and all signs of lethargy disappear. The patients start leading normal life and then seeing the response we taper down the allopathic medicines and insulin. For this a detailed history is taken and then a constitutional remedy is found.

Asthma and its Remedies

If you or a loved one has asthma, you should know about the most effective asthma treatments for short-term relief and long-term control. Understanding asthma treatments will enable you to work with your asthma doctor to confidently manage your asthma symptoms daily. 

General Approach

Homeopathy is a system of medicine which tries to ‘cure’ this disease, instead of trying to provide symptomatic relief. While dealing with a case of asthma, a homeopath not only records the symptoms of the disease but also studies the medical history, family history, physical and psychological characteristics of a person. This helps to find the cause, the precipitating factors, and the hereditary tendency etc.

After ascertaining the symptoms and the cause, the homeopath tries to find a medicine which matches the symptoms as well as the general characteristics of the person. The medicine so selected is administered to the patient.

Asthma Symptoms

Asthma is characterized by inflammation of the bronchial tubes with increased production of sticky secretions inside the tubes. People with asthma experience symptoms when the airways tighten, inflame, or fill with mucus.
These days children staying in metros develop asthma because of high levels of pollution and minute hydrocarbons present in the air. For a child the respiratory system is the weakest and invariably the disease settles either as tonsillitis, bronchitis or sinusitis. When the patient is taken to a regular allopathic doctor he is put on strong antibiotics and also small doses of steroids(present in inhalers-asthalin and others). This lowers the natural immunity of a child and he starts falling sick very often. Repeated doses of nebulizers lowers the elasticity of the lung vessels and then asthma like symptoms develop.

Common asthma symptoms include:

• Coughing, especially at night
• Blocked nose
• Wheezing
• Shortness of breath
• Chest congestion, tightness, pain, or pressure

Asthma Causes:

1. Allergic (extrinsic/ atopic) Asthma – This type of asthma usually starts in childhood and is often preceded by eczema. But most of the young adults (<35 yrs) developing asthma also fall in this category. Genetic factors also play a significant role i this. In this type of asthma the allergen leads to production of excessive (IgE) immunoglobulins.

2. Infective or Intrinsic Asthma – This is not hereditary or allergic, but may be caused by, or at least associated with upper respiratory tract or bronchial infection which is usually viral.

3. Emotional Asthma – Psychological factors (like anxiety, emotional stress etc) are often considered to be the sole cause of some asthmatic attacks, but it is still not certain whether it can be the sole cause or is only a precipitating factor.

4. Occupational asthma – This can occur in certain industries in which there is exposure to metallic dusts.

What ever may be the cause, it ultimately leads to paroxysms of bronchial obstruction produced by widespread bronchial spasm accentuated by plugging of the bronchi with excessive mucus.

Facts to know:
Massive construction is on peak these days. Dust is a very aggravating factor for such patients.
Pollen grains, husk that flies in the air during harvest in north India is a major precursor of asthma during spring time.
Kids who are prone to wheezing,bronchial asthma should be very careful during holi time. These colours aggravate the allergies.
Precautions during holi:
For dry colour: Use natural colours like turmeric, dried marigold and rose petals and powdered.
For liquid colour: Take beetroot and grate it. Add  2 litre of water and leave it for 2 hours, sieve it and the colour is ready.

Swine Flu ( H1N1 Flu Virus)

H1N1 flu is also known as swine flu. It's called swine flu because in the past, the people who caught it had direct contact with pigs. That changed several years ago, when a new virus emerged that spread among people who hadn't been near pigs.

In 2009, H1N1 was spreading fast around the world, so the World Health Organization called it a pandemic. 

Swine flu is contagious, and it spreads in the same way as the seasonal flu. When people who have it cough or sneeze, they spray tiny drops of the virus into the air. If you come in contact with these drops or touch a surface (such as a doorknob or sink) that an infected person has recently touched, you can catch H1N1 swine flu.

Despite the name, you can't catch swine flu from eating bacon, ham, or any other pork product.

Swine Flu Symptoms

People who have swine flu can be contagious one day before they have any symptoms, and as many as 7 days after they get sick. Kids can be contagious for as long as 10 days.Like seasonal flu, swine flu can lead to more serious complications, including pneumonia and respiratory failure. And it can make conditions like diabetes or asthma worse. If you have symptoms like shortness of breath, severe vomiting, abdominal pain, dizziness.

Most symptoms are the same as seasonal flu. They can include:

• cough.
• fever.
• sore throat.
• stuffy or runny nose.
• body aches.
• headache.
• chills.
• fatigue.

Who is at high risk?:

• Children under 5 years old
• People 65 or older
• Children and teens (under age 18) who are getting long-term aspirin therapy, and who might be at risk for Reye's syndrome after being infected with swine flu. Reye's syndrome is a life-threatening illness linked to aspirin use in children.
• Pregnant women
• Adults and children who have chronic lung, heart, liver, blood, nervous system, neuromuscular, or metabolic problems
• Adults and children who have suppressed immune systems (including those who take medications to suppress their immune systems or who have HIV)
• People in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities.

Things you can do to stay healthy:

     

• Wash your hands frequently every day with soap and warm water for 15-20 seconds; especially before meals, or each time after touching a surface that you suspect could be contaminated with flu virus such as a door handle or a knob/handle, especially if you have returned from a public place or used public transport. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers should be kept handy at all times and used until you can get soap and warm water. 
• Don't touch your eyes, nose, or mouth with your hand as it travel through nose and mouth.
• Avoid people who are sick.
• Burn Camphor daily in your home, as it purifies air.
• Use dettol for cleaning purpose.
• Take Camphor powder and Green cardamom powder in equal ratio. Keep it with you in your handkerchief and sniff it once in a day.

Migraine a dreaded word by the patients who have felt the pain and discomfort it brings. It means severe headache usually one sided (can be whole head also) usually accompanied by nausea, vomiting, loss of vision for a few seconds to a few minutes and other uncomfortable symptoms. It is usually related to stress-office or home, hormonal imbalance during before or after periods or during pregnancy, hunger pangs or missing a meal or loss of meal. Chocolate , coffee ,alcohol , diet drinks and foods having artificial flavoring like monosodium glutamate(MSG) can also trigger migraine. 

Many patients suffering from migraine have benefitted from homoeopathic medicines. Good Homoeopathic doctor understands the root cause of the problem and treats them with remedies and within a few months the patient is cured of all the symptoms of migraine.

As per Mohita one of our patient:

I first visited Dr. Aneet in 2005 due to my acute migraine problem. Since then I have been visiting her regularly for any ailment in the family. I must confess I have hardly been to an allopathic doctor in these last nine years. She not only cured my migraine but did a lot of food correction which was the root cause of the suffering. I like her holistic approach. She is not only a good doctor but is very patient, a great listener and for me a mentor. I turn to her very often. I have never been disappointed.. (Mohita)
