BEST HOMEOPATHY CLINIC OF AHMEDABAD SHARES A PATIENT’S TREATMENT JOURNEY WITH TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA(TGN)
Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a debilitating condition that can leave patients in agony. This is the story of a 52-year-old woman who came to us at Dr. Mankads Homeoclinic, desperate for relief from severe facial pain that had made even speaking unbearable. Through the power of homeopathy and personalized care, she gradually improved over nine months of treatment.
A Case of Severe Trigeminal Neuralgia
Initial Symptoms and Struggles
When she first visited our clinic, this 52-year-old patient had been suffering from excruciating pain on the left side of her face for months. The pain would strike like an electric shock, making even the smallest movements—like chewing, talking, or touching her face—unbearable. She had tried conventional medications, but they provided only temporary relief, and the side effects left her feeling fatigued and hopeless.
Her symptoms included:
● Sudden, stabbing pain in the left side of her face, often triggered by the slightest movement.
● Extreme sensitivityto touch, making it difficult to wash her face or brush her teeth.
● Inability to speak comfortably, as even forming words would trigger unbearable pain.
● Episodes lasting from seconds to minutes, with increasing frequency over time.
● Emotional distress and fear, as she never knew when the next attack would strike.
The Homeopathic Approach
After a detailed case analysis, I prescribed Spigelia 30, a well-known homeopathic remedy for left-sided trigeminal neuralgia with shooting, burning pain. Spigelia is particularly effective when:
● The pain is neuralgic and severe, with a sensation of electric shocks.
● The left side of the face is predominantly affected.
● Pain is aggravated by touch, motion, or even the slightest breeze.
● There is deep sensitivity in the eyes and forehead, often worsening in the morning.
Homeopathy works by addressing the root cause of the condition, restoring balance, and strengthening nerve health over time. Unlike conventional painkillers, homeopathic treatment provides long-term relief without side effects.
Gradual Healing: A Journey of Nine Months
Recovery from chronic conditions takes time, and her journey was no different. Here’s how she improved over the course of treatment:
• Month 1-3: The intensity of pain started reducing. She could eat soft foods without triggering severe attacks.
• Month 4-6: She could engage in short conversations without experiencing shocks of pain.
• Month 7-9: She gradually regained the confidence to speak normally and resumed daily activities without fear.
• By the end of nine months, she was almost pain-free, with only occasional mild discomfort, which was manageable.
Supporting Recovery with Lifestyle Changes
Alongside homeopathy, we recommended small yet impactful lifestyle modifications to help ease her condition:
• Avoiding triggers: Identifying foods and activities that exacerbate pain.
• Warm compresses:Applying gentle heat to soothe the nerve.
• Stress management: Practicing meditation and breathing exercises.
• Hydration and nutrition: Supporting nerve health with a balanced diet.

Common Symptoms:
