Hi Rohit, I understand how frustrating it is to have a headache that is not going away even after taking medicines. Since your headache started after a period of stress, anxiety, and overthinking, it may be more related to tension-type headache but dont worry we are here to help you out😊

✅ Why it may be happening

Tension & stress —- tightness in scalp, neck, and shoulders — dull constant headache.

Vata imbalance (overthinking, irregular sleep, anxiety) —dryness, lightness –headache, restlessness.

Lifestyle habits — late nights, excess screen time, skipped meals, dehydration.

Digestion issues (ama/toxins) — heaviness and pain in the head.

✅ AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

1. Nasya (Nasal Therapy)

Morning: 2 drops of Anu taila in each nostril. Helps calm Vata, reduces stress-related headaches.

2. Head & Foot Oil Massage Massage scalp and soles at night with Ksheerabala taila. Relieves stress, improves sleep, and reduces head pressure.

3 . Internal medication

1 Brahmi capsules 1-0-1 after food – calm the nervous system, reduce overthinking. 2 pathyakashadhtryadi ks tab 2-0-2 after food – reduces headache 3 Ashwagandharistha 30ml-0-30ml after food – balances stress and strengthens the mind.

✅ LIFESTYLE AND DIET

Stay hydrated (warm water or herbal teas like ginger-tulsi). Avoid excess tea/coffee, junk, fried, packaged food. Have regular meals – skipping meals worsens Vata headache. Take 7–8 hrs of sleep at fixed time. Reduce screen time and take eye breaks every 30–40 minutes.

✅STRESS AND MIND CALMING

Pranayama: practice Anulom-Vilom & Bhramari daily for 10 min. Meditation / Yoga Nidra before sleep to reduce anxiety. Gentle neck and shoulder stretches daily to release stiffness.

Your headache seems linked to stress and Vata imbalance. Regular nasya, head oiling, Brahmi/Ashwagandha, pranayama, and proper sleep can gradually reduce it.

With consistency, you’ll notice improvement in 2–3 weeks.

Wish you a good health 😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

hello rohit,

You have been having a persistent headache for the last 15–20 days. Temporary medicines like paracetamol can relieve pain for a short time, but they don’t address the root cause. Since you mentioned stress, anxiety, and overthinking, your headache is likely related to tension and Pitta imbalance in Ayurveda, which increases heat and pressure in the head.

Ayurvedic Medicines :

Brahmi Churna – ½ teaspoon, twice daily with warm milk or water, helps calm the mind and reduce headache. Ashwagandha Churna – ½ teaspoon, once daily at night with milk, for stress and anxiety relief. Shirodhara oil massage (optional, once a week) – if available, it helps relax head and nerves.

Investigations (if headache persists): Complete blood count and routine labs to rule out any infection or deficiency.

Eye check-up to rule out vision-related strain.

If headache continues, MRI/CT scan may be advised to rule out other causes (since paracetamol isn’t helping).

Along with medicines, simple practices like short breaks from screens, deep breathing, and meditation can greatly reduce stress-related headaches.

Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

1.Shiroshooladi vajra rasa 2 tab twice daily with milk 2.Pathyadi kwath 20 ml with 20 ml water twice daily 3.Ashwagandha churna 1 tsp with warm milk at bedtime

Yoga and pranayamas: Anulom vilom Bhramari pranayam Ujjayi Shishuasana Setu bandhasana Paschimottanasana

Now start on Brahmi vati Medha vati-one tablet two times daily after food with warm milk Saraswathi aristha-2 teaspoon with equal quantity of water twice daily after food If I headache, doesn’t subside and consult neurologist and get MRI done

For managing headaches, especially when linked to stress and anxiety, Ayurveda takes a holistic approach. It’s essential to consider both physical and mental health. Stress-induced headaches often stem from a Vata-Pitta imbalance, and addressing this balance can potentially offer relief.

Start with your diet. Favor warm, calming, and nourishing foods. Prepare meals with ghee, which helps pacify Vata and Pitta. Include more sweet, bitter, and astringent tastes. Consider kitchari, soups, and stews. Avoid spicy, fried, and processed foods; they can aggravate your doshas and might contribute to your headache.

Incorporate lifestyle changes. Regular sleep helps regulate your doshas. Aim for 7-9 hours per night, sleep early, preferably by 10pm. Try to keep a consistent sleep schedule. Practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing or pranayama. Abdominal breathing can reduce stress levels, which in turn lessens headaches.

Massage plays a crucial role. A gentle head massage with Brahmi or Bhringraj oil calms the mind. Apply warm oil to the scalp. Gently massage in circular motions. Doing this in the evening, before bedtime, can also improve your sleep quality. If self-massage is difficult, opt for a qualified therapist.

Stay hydrated. Often hydration is overlooked and dehydration could trigger headaches. Drink lukewarm water to support digestion. Herbal teas, like chamomile or tulsi, help relax the mind and body. Avoid caffeine and sodas.

Yoga is effective. Practicing Asanas like Shavasana or Balasana (Child’s Pose) relax the body and aid in stress relief. Afternoon or evening practice is usually beneficial, try not overstrain in practice though.

If the headache persists or worsens, consult your doctor. Sometimes headaches may signal underlying issues requiring immediate medical attention. Ayurveda supports a balance, but safety first.

HELLO ROHIT,

In Ayurveda, shirashoola (headache) is not just pain in the head, but a sign of imbalance in the body and mind. -Because you have a history of stress, anxiety, overthinking, the Vata dosha (air+space element) is disturbed -continuous stress also heats up the pita dosha -> leading to burning type pain , irritability, and disturbed sleep -sometimes Kapha dosha can block the head channels -> heaviness, sinus type headache

So, your headache is most likely a vata-pitta dominant shirashoola with a stress component.

Headaches lingering over a couple of weeks can indeed be challenging. You’re right in wanting to look beyond conventional medicine, especially since it’s still persistent. In the Siddha-Ayurvedic tradition, we often view headaches through the lens of dosha imbalances. Anxiety and overthinking could point to a Vata imbalance, as this dosha governs movement, including mental activity.

Start with calming Vata. Regular routine is crucial — wake and sleep at the same times daily if possible. Look at your diet, ensuring it’s warm, nourishing, and grounding. Avoid cold, dry foods as they could aggravate Vata. Favor cooked meals that are easy to digest, like soups or well-spiced stews. Sweet, salty, and sour tastes can help calm Vata, whereas bitter and astringent might be too drying. Include warm milk with a pinch of nutmeg before bed to aid restful sleep.

Self-massage with warm sesame oil, focusing on the head and feet, can enhance relaxation — aim to do it daily, if time allows, or at least a few times per week. Nasya, or applying a few drops of Anu Thailam (specific medicated oil) to each nostril in the morning, is practiced in Siddha tradition to clear head channels and relieve pressure.

Breathing exercises can also be beneficial to calm the mind — try 10 minutes of slow, deep diaphragmatic breathing twice a day, if time permits.

While these guidelines are safe, ensure headaches aren’t paired with other worrying symptoms like vision changes or confusion, as these would require immediate medical attention. The root cause approach of Ayurveda can work wonders, but factors like these are best evaluated quickly and thoroughly.
