Trigeminal Neuralgia or tic douloureux is considered the most excruciating of all pains. It is characterized by intense facial pain that interferes with everyday activities. Activities as simple as talking, smiling, chewing, brushing the teeth, or shaving can cause brief convulsion of intense pain. These painful bouts are short-lived, but the pain can return intermittently. Or one may experience constant pain that isn’t severe. Usually, trigeminal neuralgia is unilateral (affecting just one brain side). If it’s bilateral, both sides will get affected, but not simultaneously. It is a very rare condition. Homeopathic treatment for Trigeminal Neuralgia is recommended for effective treatment with no side effects.
How Homeopathic Medicine for Trigeminal Neuralgia Works?
Trigeminal Neuralgia is a condition characterized by pain, when the blood vessels get pressed against the trigeminal nerves.
The trigeminal nerve is the largest of twelve cranial nerves, which has three divisions, i.e.,
- Ophthalmic division: covers the top portion of the face, including forehead, upper eyelid, and cornea of the eye
- Maxillary division: everything in the middle of the face, including cheeks, nostrils, and upper lip
- Mandibular division: covers the lower portion of the face, including the lower lip and jaw area.
Homeopathic medicine for trigeminal Neuralgia controls the underlying nerve damage –thereby providing symptomatic relief from the condition.
Types of Trigeminal Neuralgia
There are two types of Trigeminal neuralgia one has to know that are:
- Primary Trigeminal Neuralgia: is caused by nerve compression, typically at the base of the head where the brain meets the spinal cord. It is caused by contact between a healthy artery or vein. Usually at the bottom of the brain and the trigeminal nerve. Primary TN occurs when a tumor presses on the nerve as it emerges from the brain, causing the abnormal firing of the nerve.
- Secondary Trigeminal Neuralgia: is the result of pressure on the nerve resulting from a tumor, a cyst, facial injury, or any other conditions that damage the myelin sheath covering the nerve cells.
Causes of Trigeminal Neuralgia

- Women are more likely to suffer from TN than men
- It can occur at any age but is usually common in people older than 50
- This type of disorder can be genetic
- It can also be linked to high blood pressure

Trigeminal Neuralgia Triggers
The TN pain may appear suddenly and last for a moment or a few minutes. The pain is periodic.

Diagnosis of Trigeminal Neuralgia
A doctor will examine an individual’s face to determine the areas affected if the symptoms indicate trigeminal neuralgia. There are no tests to diagnose neuralgia. A CT or MRI is only conducted if any other underlying condition is suspected in facial or brain regions like tumors or sinusitis. MRI may reveal a blood vessel that is touching the trigeminal neuralgia. One can treat this cause through Homeopathic treatment for Trigeminal Neuralgia for long-lasting results.
