Tartarus emeticus. Maly used it successfully in a case of migraine located in forehead, appearing every 8 to 14 days, with nausea and coated tongue.
Theridion. Migraine with flickering before eyes with nausea, worse when closing eyes.
Thuja. Leftsided radiating headache of tearing nature, and as if a nail were driven in by fits and starts near the skull sutures or as if a convex buttom were pressed in. Amelioration from bending head back or looking upward; aggravation from rest and warmth, especially in bed. Vertigo may be present. Where nocturnal rheumatic – gouty symptoms preceded the attack of migraine, but stopped during the attack, there (according to Tietzner) thuja is the only correctly indicated remedy.
But, aside from the relation of thuja to rheumatic conditions, it is also indicated in chronic headache due to “old sins,” especially where a sycosis (gonorrhoea, etc.) has been treated allopathically. Sensation of compression of head from outside, but better from applied pressure, according to Desterne. Koeck mentions relief from pain during daytime.
Veratrum album. Severe throbbing, constricting pain as if head would burst, almost driving patient crazy; there may also be pharyngeal spasms (globus – like). While pain increases there is bilious vomiting with cold extremities, cold perspiration and a cold face, features collapse – like, fainting, aggravation from rising or bending head forward; better from external pressure and bending head backward; restlessness and anxiety force patient to walk around. Attacks especially mornings (Kafka). There may be stiffness of neck. Often the pain does not only wander from temples to base of skull, but attacks also the spinal cord causing twitchings.
Zincum metallicum. Frontal headache with pressure to root of nose, possibly with nausea and vomiting, also perhaps with visual disturbances during attack, based on anemia. Restlessness of feet often is a fine indication for this remedy, as are also the results of suppressed elimination. Weinke points out that the pain may increase to lethargic conditions. “Zincum is the real mineral opium” says Rademacher. “Due to its soothing power it resembles opium very much without sharing its stimulating action on the vascular system.
