headaches-hot peppers!

[Guest guest]

Very interesting. In homeopathy, this is Capsicum. It's provings,

i.e. symptoms produced in healthy individuals who took small

quantities of capsicum (whose active ingredient is capsaicin), joint

pains, sweating, nostalgia etc., came up, indicating the remedies

usefulness in such situations.

 

Some types of migraine headaches respond to Natrum Muriaticum, the

latin name for common salt.

 

Useful information anyway. Thank you.
