The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Am I doing the right thing?
My wife suffers from very strong migraines/tension headache every two to three weeks.I tried a combination remedy from Source Naturals. It helped in reducing the pain by maybe 20%.
However, I feel it would be preferable (over the longer term) to try and determine which of the ingredients in the combination remedy is the one having the actual effect.
The dosages in the Source Naturals 'Migraine Blocker' are either 6X or 12x.
A few of them I have previously tried as individual remedies at higher dosages some years back and they had no effect. They were - Belladonna, Ignatia, and Natrum Muriaticum, phoshorous.
Of the remedies left, there are a whole bunch which I have not tried.
They are.
chamomilla4x
bryonia alba6x
iris versicolor6x
juglans cinerea 6x
pulsatilla 6x
sanguinaria canadensis6x
magnesia6x
silicea10xgelsemium
scutellria12x
zincum10x
Obviously, I am searching for a deeper constitutional remedy for my wife, not just something for temporary pain relief when the migraines come.
So my questions are this.
1. What is the starting dosage for deeper change to occur? (30c???)
2. Is there a certain order in which I should try them?
3. Is there a danger of overdosing if I do not leave sufficient space between remedies?
From my brief reading so far Zincum seems a good match because of my wife's high-strung personality, nervous exhaustion.
But...I have not looked at all of these remedies and I am no expert in these matters.
Thank you in advance for anyone who takes the time to help me.

Hello Nawaz,
Before I buy this remedy, can you please tell why you have prescribed this remedy?
Is it because I mentioned heart palpitations? Or other reasons?
Second, were there other remedies that look possible, or does this one stand out clearly?
Third, please recommend a good supplier of this. It is not available on this site. Is it a mother tincture or q potency?
Thanks very much for your kind help!!

'Before I buy this remedy, can you please tell why you have prescribed this remedy?'
All of the mentioned symptoms were taken into account to select this remedy.
'Is it because I mentioned heart palpitations? Or other reasons? '
No
'Second, were there other remedies that look possible,'
Spigelia 30c looked possible, but, you have already tried this. How did she take this remedy? How long and what was the response?
'or does this one stand out clearly?'
Yes
'Is it a mother tincture or q potency? '
Yes, both are correct.
'Third, please recommend a good supplier of this. It is not available on this site'

Hi Nawazkhan,
The vendor you recommended does not ship internationally (i live in Taiwan). Is there another place you know of that caaries this product and ships internationally? I will also google it, but would prefer a vendor you trust and know.
Second, to save on shipping costs, should I also purchase spigelia? Her past experience with spigelia was that she took 2 30c strength pellets the tongue. Nothing happened. However, at that time (8 years ago), she tried a variety of remedies over the course of a week.
Thank you

I have found a vendor which supplies the main remedy, but only has spigelia at 200c.
Is 200c okay, or must it be 30c?
p.s. sorry for all the questions
