Migraine headaches are one of the most common types of headaches today. Every second person dealing with stress and anxiety is prone to migraine. Migraine refers to a neurological disorder that causes extreme headache. These headaches are often accompanied by vomiting, nausea, and even sensitivity to light or sound. The major causes of this disorder include hormonal changes, stress, genetic triggers, dietary triggers, weather, toxin build-up, etc. However, The exact cause of migraine is still unknown. Many researchers say that migraine occurs when abnormal brain activity affects nerve signals. This leads to chemical imbalances, resulting in migraine headaches.
Modern medicines for Migraine headaches majorly include painkillers and chemical-based preventive drugs. Differently, Ayurveda ensures a holistic healing. Whether it is diagnostic or treatment, Ayurveda has a quite different approach. Treatment of migraines in Ayurveda focuses on balancing the tri doshas in the body. Instead of focusing just on symptoms, it aims at identifying and managing the root cause. Ayurveda includes a vast treatment plan including herbal medicines, detoxifying Panchakarma therapies, messages, and more. In short, Ayurveda promises a treatment that heals migraine and strengthens the nervous system. Besides treatment, Ayurveda helps in preventing this disorder. Let's know how!
Ayurveda is the India's ancient medicine system. Ayurveda is known for its authentic healing approaches. Be it physical or mental disorders, Ayurveda is always preferred for for its natural and powerful healing powers. According to Ayurvedic principles, migraine headaches are caused by an imbalance in doshas. Three Doshas rule the human body: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. An aggravated Pitta Dosha often results in inflammation and excessive body heat. This leads to the occurrence of Migraine. Another Dosha responsible for Migraines is Vata. Vata imbalance results in a weak nervous system. A weak nervous system is the main factor that results in migraine headaches. The Ayurvedic healing approach for migraines includes the following
Migraine Treatment in Ayurveda is more than just the medicines! Ayurveda combines multiple healing methods to treat any ailment. Similarly, when it comes to curing migraines, Ayurveda treatment includes a combination of medicine, therapies, massages, and diet. Some of the most effective treatments for migraine in Ayurveda are as follows:
Shirodhara is one of the most profound therapy in Ayurveda. This therapy helps in reducing stress and anxiety, thereby, calming the nervous system. In Shirodhara Ayurvedic therapy, a continuous stream of medicated oil is poured on the forehead. This improves sleep quality and also calms the other triggers of migraine headaches.
Abhyanga is one of the most effective Ayurvedic massage. Migraine headaches occur due to the disturbance of Vata Dosha in the body. This full-body massage helps in calming Vata. In abhyanga, the massage is performed using medicated herbal oils. This improves blood flow leading to migraine relief.
When talking about the healing powers of Ayurveda therapy then how can we skip Nasya? Nasya plays an important part in treating migraine. Nasya is a method in which medicated liquids and oils are poured into the nostrils. This therapy effectively clears the nasal passage and clears the (Ama), accumulated toxins. Nasya improves brain functioning and helps reducing the occurrence of migraine.
Ayurveda while healing any ailment recommends a Sattvic diet. Sattvic diet includes fresh vegetables, seasonal fruits, detox drinks, whole grains, and a lot of fiber. It prohibits the intake of processed and spicy food. A customized natural diet along with herbal teas like tulsi and brahmi helps in alleviating the symptoms of migraine.
In Ayurveda, exercise refers to daily yoga and meditation practices. Where meditation calms the mind and soul, yoga works on healing the body's functioning. A good combination of yoga, meditation, and suggested breath work significantly helps in relieving the migraine. Child Pose ( Balasana), Savasana (Corpse Pose), and Pranayam are time-tested remedies for migraines.
Ayurvedic medicines help migraines by addressing the root cause of the ailment. Instead of just relieving the symptoms, Ayurveda works by restoring the overall balance in the human body leading to a holistic cure for migraine. Ayurveda medicines balance Vata and Pitta. Furthermore, medicines for migraine in Ayurveda focus on detoxifying the body, strengthening the nervous system, and balancing Doshas to make the body disease-free in the long term. Taking any Ayurvedic medicine is only advisable when taken under the proper guidance of an Ayurvedic doctor.
Ayurveda offers tremendous home remedies to deal with migraine. Self-care is like a gift that one should always give to oneself. Ayurvedic remedy for migraine ensures managing migraines without strong chemical medications. Some of the remedies are as follows:
There are several other home remedies like consuming aloe vera juice and ensuring adequate sleep and hydration which could help manage migraine with Ayurveda. However, home remedies must always be taken under the guidance of an Ayurvedic practitioner.
