Mrs. O., aged 52 years; has been subject to headaches since she was seventeen, which has become more severe during the past two years.
- It starts in the right temple and spreads all over the head.
- Bright lights aggravate and are attended by a sensation of nausea and
sometimes vomiting. - She is relieved by lying quietly in a darkened room.
One week later she reported better and the remedy was continued in
a higher potency at lengthened intervals. At the end of one month, she
believed herself cured.
Sanguinaria is indicated when the pain increases and decreases with the sun;
- Has a periodicity; is worse on the right side;
- Aggravated by the least movement; and
- Relieved by being in a dark room, and especially by sleep.
The remedy Sanguinaria has never disappointed me in this class of
cases. [Source: A.L. Blackwood]
