Migraines are a neurological syndrome that are characterized with severe headaches, as well as other symptoms such as nausea or altered perceptions. Some other common symptoms of migraines include vomiting, sensitivity to light and sensitivity to sound. Migraines are more common in women but can affect both men and women. As to optinghealth.com, Migraines are fairly common, and last between four to 72 hours.

Migraines tend to be very severe, and many people prefer to take prescription drugs for their migraines. Others may require over-the-counter medication to help control their migraines and help to prevent future migraines and migraine attacks. Although homeopathy should not be used in place of any of these medical treatments, homeopathic remedies can be used in addition to these treatments to help improve the symptoms of migraines.
