Imagine a sudden, throbbing pain that makes you stop everything. Bright lights hurt. Loud noises irritate. Even a simple conversation feels impossible. That is what a migraine feels like for millions of people every day.
Science shows that migraines are not "just headaches." They are linked to abnormal brain activity, chemical changes, and nerve signals. A drop in serotonin levels can activate the trigeminal nerve, releasing inflammatory substances near the brain. This is what causes the sharp pain many experience during a migraine.
But it is not one-size-fits-all. The reason for migraine can differ from person to person. Understanding your unique triggers is the first step toward relief, and that’s where Dr Batra’s® can help.
What Are the Causes of Migraine?
The exact causes of migraine are still being studied, but researchers agree it is a mix of:
Genetic Factors: A family history increases your chances significantly
Brain Chemistry: Fluctuations in serotonin and other neurotransmitters
Neurovascular Changes: Irritation of blood vessels and nerves in the brain
Environmental Triggers: Weather changes, noise, light, and even smells
Insights from a global study
A 2024 study shows migraine cases have surged by 58%, now impacting 1.16 billion people worldwide. Homeopathy offers a natural way to manage migraines by addressing triggers and restoring balance for lasting relief.
