Migraine
A doctor says: at the early signs of a migraine, take aspirin or paracetamol. Those with severe migraines should speak to their pharmacist about taking cyproheptadine hydrochloride (MSD) - this is an antihistamine tablet that may help some sufferers.
A homeopath says: a form of homeopathic coffee, coffea cruda, can help clear migraines. Natrum muriaticum is good if your migraines are accompanied by flashing lights, while bryonia works on light-sensitive headaches, as does belladonna.

Minor Burns
Homeopaths and doctors are united on this - the best treatment for most burns is on tap. Run cold water, not too cold, over the burn for up to an hour. Never put an oil-based cream on the burn, unless it has got infected, and even then you should see a doctor. Protect the burn with a light dressing of melolin, keeping it in place with micropore surgical tape. In mild cases, try and keep the burn area uncovered.
