Schuessler salts: headache
According to Schuessler’s theory, the “Hot 7” should relieve pain: Take seven to ten pieces of Schuessler Salts No. 7 Magnesium phosphoricum and dissolve them in boiled water for a short time. Sip the solution as hot as possible. In this form Magnesium phosphoricum is generally suitable for the treatment of headaches. In particular, these Schuessler salts are intended to relieve headaches that shoot up like lightning or rise from the neck.
Depending on the pain characteristics, other Schuessler salts are said to relieve headaches:
