Homoeopathic Management Of Migraine: A Review Of Miasmatic And Therapeutic Perspectives

Abstract

Migraine is a common and disabling neurovascular disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of moderate to severe headache, often associated with nausea, vomiting, photophobia, and phonophobia. It significantly affects the quality of life and functional capacity of individuals worldwide. Conventional treatment primarily focuses on symptomatic relief and prophylaxis; however, recurrence and adverse effects remain major concerns. Homoeopathy offers a holistic and individualized therapeutic approach based on the totality of symptoms and the dynamic understanding of disease. According to homoeopathic philosophy, migraine is considered a manifestation of underlying chronic miasmatic influences, predominantly psora, sycosis, and syphilis. The miasmatic approach aids in understanding the susceptibility, progression, and chronicity of the disease, thereby guiding constitutional remedy selection. Various homoeopathic remedies such as Sanguinaria canadensis, Natrum muriaticum, Spigelia anthelmia, Bryonia alba, and Glonoinum are therapeutically indicated in migraine management based on symptom similarity and individual constitution. This review highlights the homoeopathic understanding of migraine with emphasis on miasmatic interpretation and therapeutic perspectives. Homoeopathy aims not only to relieve acute symptoms but also to address the underlying predisposition, thereby promoting long-term improvement and overall well-being
