Mr. S.K.P. (PIN: 40682) consulted at Life Force’s Vashi center for the complaint of his migraine in July 2019. He was suffering from the migraine from 6 to 7 years. He had a severe headache. His headache was always unilateral, but the side was not fixed. The pain was continuous lasting from a few hours to three-four days, and it was very frequent. Most often, he experienced this headache once in a week. Along with severe throbbing and pulsating pain, he was experiencing severe sensitivity to the light and noise. Nausea and vomiting were also common symptoms which he experienced during the episode. Due to these frequent severe headaches, his daily life was disturbed. He had consulted many doctors and taken many conventional medicines, but the result of those medicines was temporary. He was very disturbed due to repetitive episodes of headache.
In addition to this, he had constipation, piles, and fissure-in-ano complaint.
He was a non-vegetarian by diet and was quite fond of sour food. Also, he was suffering from constipation. Due to the intake of non-vegetarian, spicy, and oily food, both his complaints of piles and fissure-in-ano triggered on & off. His sleep was disturbed. His other physical generals, such as thirst, perspiration, and others, were average.
He was a very anxious patient. He always thought about his condition. Also, he was a very joyful, talkative, and sanguine person. He was emotional and short-tempered by nature.
In his past, he had renal calculus and bell’s palsy complaint. For renal calculus, he had done the laparoscopic surgery in 2017.
In his family history, his two brothers also had a headache complaint. Except for this, there was no other specific family medical history present.
After studying his case in detail, Dr. Shah prescribed two doses of Natrum Mur 30 and his research-based molecule to the patient.

However, after 20 days, he indulged in smoking for the first time and took citrus and heavy food; so, the next day, he faced a severe episode of migraine. After two days, his condition had again started to show some improvement. After taking the detailed feedback, the patient was prescribed the next medicine and advised to follow a restricted diet. There was no change in his constipation complaint. Due to constipation and irregular diet, his complaints of fissure and piles had triggered.
