Hormone problems and migraines Information

Miss K a 36 year-old interior designer, began to experience occasional migraine and headaches - three or four per year after the birth of her son eight years previously. She described severe pain, which didn't respond to painkillers and tingling in her hands. Since her early 20s she had noticed spots and, boils on her back and chest, with more oily skin and increasing hair on her face. All these symptoms improved during pregnancy but returned afterwards. Miss Kalso said that she was permanently tired and her blood pressure was rather low. She ate a well-balanced diet, drank lots of water but cheese and milk products formed a large part of her protein intake.
After discussing her case history we agreed that her headaches were likely to be the result of tiredness and a hormone imbalance as well as poor circulation.

The remedy
. Chasteberry - hormonal agent.
. Southernwood- hormonal agent, bitter digestive tonic.
. Echinacea - immune stimulant.
. Wild indigo - anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory.

This resulted in much fewer spots, confined to outbreaks at ovulation time. Her facial hair-growth stopped increasing and energy levels improved. She hadn't had any headaches at the end of 3 months herbal medicine and continued to take this remedy for a further 3 months before stopping for a break.
