Migraine Care For Women
Hormonal Headaches and Chronic Migraines
If you’re one of the millions of women who suffer from recurring migraines — especially around your period, during ovulation, or in the transition to menopause — you’re not alone. Hormonal headaches affect up to 60% of women with migraines, and for many, the pain is both physical and emotional.
Using homeopathy to help your system heal, I take a root-cause approach to migraine treatment — offering individualized care to gently restore balance and reduce frequency, intensity, and reliance on painkillers.
Understanding Migraines in Women
Migraines are more than “just headaches.” They can include nausea, light sensitivity, fatigue, and neurological symptoms. Women experience migraines up to three times more often than men — primarily due to hormonal fluctuations tied to the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and menopause.
You may be dealing with:
Menstrual migraines (2–3 days before or during your period)
Ovulation migraines (mid-cycle)
Perimenopausal headaches with erratic cycles
Postpartum headaches due to hormonal withdrawal
Menopausal migraines during the decline in estrogen
Understanding how your hormones impact your migraine pattern is the first step toward lasting relief.
Common Migraine Patterns
Every woman’s migraine story is unique. Here are some of the most common presentations I see in my practice:
“I get a migraine like clockwork the day before my period.”
“I feel pressure and nausea mid-cycle, every month.”
“My migraines got worse during perimenopause.”
“The birth of my child triggered constant headaches.”
“I get migraines with aura and visual changes before the pain starts.”
You don’t have to suffer silently. We’ll build a strategy that reflects your story — not just your symptoms.
The Role of the Migraine Consultation
A comprehensive consultation is essential in understanding the why behind recurring migraines — especially when they’re influenced by hormonal cycles, stress patterns, or past medical history. During your first session, we explore three core dimensions that shape your unique migraine experience:
1. Case History
Migraines don’t emerge in isolation. We begin by reviewing your full health timeline — including childhood illnesses, family tendencies, emotional traumas, hormonal shifts (like puberty, childbirth, or menopause), exposure to environmental toxins, and previous treatments such as hormonal birth control, antibiotics, or steroids. As Kent teaches, symptoms reflect a much deeper life pattern, and understanding that pattern is central to effective care.
2. Symptom Expression
No two migraine sufferers are alike. Some experience sharp, throbbing pain with light sensitivity and nausea; others feel pressure behind the eyes, visual aura, or migraines that consistently strike before menstruation. One person may get relief by lying in a dark room, while another needs cold air or movement. Homeopathic remedies are matched to this specific expression — not just the diagnosis.
For instance, Sepia may be suited to migraines linked to hormonal exhaustion and irritability, while Iris Versicolor fits those with visual aura and weekend headaches. Only a personalized consultation can reveal the best match.
3. Constitutional Weakness and Root Cause
Chronic migraines often stem from deeper constitutional patterns — whether it’s inherited susceptibility, emotional suppression, liver or hormonal imbalance, or nervous system overload. In many cases, the body is trying to discharge or adapt to unresolved internal strain. Remedies such as Carcinosin, Medorrhinum, or Sulphur may be used to clear these predispositions and support deeper healing — but they must be selected with care after a complete case evaluation.
This is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Your full story guides the path forward.
How Homeopathy Helps with Migraines
Unlike conventional treatments that suppress pain, homeopathy aims to uncover the deeper cause of migraines — whether related to hormonal shifts, nervous system strain, toxicity, or chronic emotional stress.
As a certified homeopath, I’ve worked with women to:
Balance the estrogen-progesterone axis
Support detox pathways involved in cyclical migraines
Address co-existing issues like gut inflammation, anxiety, or sleep disruption
Each protocol is built around your individual symptom picture, current state, and case history — allowing the remedy to support your system exactly where it needs help.

Final Thoughts
You don’t have to live your life around your migraines.
