A premenstrual headache can come in all shapes and sizes.
It can be on the top of your head, at the temples, behind your eyes, at the back of your head, at your forehead, deep inside your head, more affected on one side.
The sensations can be equally diverse - throbbing, burning, like little hammers, bursting, pulsating, aching.
Then there are the natural things that make these premenstrual headaches better or worse.
Things such as the sun, heat, cold, the onset of your period, pressure, wet or humid weather, the full moon.
The list is endless.
So I hope you get the picture that every symptom picture is going to be different.
Your symptoms are unique to you, despite the label.
Your premenstrual headache will not be identical to anyone else's despite the label and despite the timing and condition.
Your personal uniqueness is essential in working out the most appropriate homeopathic medicine likely to resolve the problem.
The homeopathic medicine Lachesis has a very specific symptom picture, regardless of what it is used for.
Primarily it is an imbalanced hormone medicine.
Some of these symptoms include almost any symptom which is premenstrual, such as a headache, irritability, flushes of heat, or depression.
The strongest modality is that the symptom improves or disappears altogether as soon as the blood starts to flow.
The headaches that are associated with Lachesis often but not exclusively occur on the left side of your head, they are worse for any form of heat, and of course occur premenstrually.
That or during pregnancy or at menopause.
They invariably improve as soon as your period starts.
And they can feel temporarily better if you apply pressure.
The sensation associated with these headaches can be pulsating or bursting.
Or you may have a migraine.
