Hello, I understand how distressing it can be to live with severe headaches, eye heaviness, and constant discomfort for the past two years. It can affect your focus, energy, and daily life. From an Ayurvedic perspective, these symptoms are often due to Pitta imbalance in the head and eyes, sometimes combined with Vata aggravation, leading to headaches, heaviness, and eye strain.

The good news is, with gentle lifestyle changes, diet, and supportive herbs, you can reduce the intensity and frequency of your headaches and eye discomfort. It’s important to avoid triggers, strengthen your digestion, and calm both your mind and nervous system.

Diet Recommendations,

Eat cooling, Pitta-pacifying foods: cucumber, bottle gourd, sweet fruits like melons and pomegranates, and leafy greens. Avoid spicy, oily, fried, and excessively sour foods, as they can aggravate Pitta and trigger headaches. Drink plenty of water, but avoid ice-cold drinks. Include light, easy-to-digest meals and avoid skipping meals, as hunger can worsen headaches.

Lifestyle and Yoga/Exercise:

Gentle neck and shoulder stretches to relieve tension. Shavasana (corpse pose) for 5–10 minutes daily to calm the nervous system.

Trataka (candle gazing) for 5 minutes to reduce eye strain.

Anulom Vilom Pranayama (alternate nostril breathing) daily for 5–10 minutes to balance mind and body. Avoid prolonged screen time; take breaks every 1–2 hours and blink often.

Ensure 7–8 hours of restful sleep.

your headaches and eye heaviness are mainly Pitta and Vata imbalance in the head and eyes. Weak digestion (Mand Agni) can also worsen this by producing Ama (toxins) which can trigger headaches. Gentle detox, mind and eye care, and Pitta-pacifying routines can help you feel lighter, calmer, and reduce headache frequency.

1. Ama Pachana / Digestive Support (first 5–7 days) Pathyakshadhatryadi Kashayam – 20–30 ml with equal water, twice daily after food (To clear Ama and improve digestion)

2. Internal Medicines (for 4–6 weeks initially) Kaishore Guggulu – 1 tablet twice daily after food (reduces Pitta and detoxifies blood) Chandraprabha Vati – 2 tablets twice daily after food (for nervous system and headache support) Shirashooladhi Vajra Rasa – 1 tablet once daily after breakfast (for headache relief, eye support)

3. External Therapy / Eye & Head Routine Shirolepa with Rasnadi Lepa – apply on forehead for 20–30 minutes, 3–4 times per week (soothes head, reduces Pitta)

Eye care:

Eye check-up including vision, IOP, and routine eye health Gentle eye exercises: palming, blinking, and Trataka (candle gazing) daily for 5–10 minutes

Relief may be gradual. Initially, you may notice reduced intensity or frequency of headaches rather than complete disappearance. Be patient, follow medicines and routines strictly, and avoid skipping meals or sleep.

Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

HELLO ABHI,

MODERN VIEW= migraine is not “just a headache”. It’s a neurological condition where brain nerves and blood vessels become extra sensitive. Triggers like stress, lack of sleep, fasting, certain foods, or hormonal changes can set it off. Pain usually comes in attacks- pulsating headache, eye strain, nausea, or light sensitivity

AYURVEDA VIEW= migraine resembles conditions like Ardhavabhedaka, or suryavarta. Here, vata and Pitta dosha get disturbed -VATA-> causes throbbing pain, dryness, irregular attacks -PITTA-> causes burning, eye strain, anger/irritability, worsens with sunlight/heat

So treatment focuses on calming vata, cooling pitta, cleansing toxins, and stabilizing the mind.

TREATMENT GOALS -reduce intensity and frequency of attacks -correct digestion, sleep, and stress cycle -detoxify and balance doshas internally and externally -strengthen nerves and calm the mind

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) PATHYADI KASHAYA= 15ml + warm water twice daily before meals =reduces migraine pain, balances pita, improves digestion

2) SUTSEKHAR RAS= 1 tab with honey, morning after food =classical antacid + antistress, helps burning and nausea

3) BRAHMI VATI= 1 tab at night =for calming mind and sleep regulation

4) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water at night =for digestion and gentle detox

DURATION= usually 2-3 months continuous

EXTERNAL TREATMENTS

1) HEAD MASSAGE = WITH BRAHMI OIL =relaxes nerves, reduces tension headache

2) NASYA= 2 drop of ANU TAILA in each nostril In morning empty stomach =clears head channels, relieves sinus pressure, improves sleep

3) NETRA SEKA(eye wash) with cooled triphala decoction or rose water daily =releieves eye heat , improves clarity

HOME REMEDIES

1) SOAKED RAISINS AND DATES -soak 5-6 raisins or 2 dates overnight and eat in morning =helps build blood and energy, cools pitta

2) CORIANDER- FENNEL TEA =reduces eye and head heat

3) GHEE IN DIET -1 tsp daily in food or warm milk- nourishes brain and balances vata

4) FOOT MASSAGE AT BEDTIME -use sesame oil . grounds vata and improves sleep

5) COLD ROSE WATER EYE PADS -soak cotton pads in rose water and place on eyes for 10 mins. releieves warmth

6) APPLY SANDALWOOD PASTE OR ROSE WATER TO FOREHEAD/TEMPLES

7) COLD COMPRESS ON FOREHEAD DURING ACUTE PAIN

8) PEPPERMINT OIL MASSAGE ON TEMPLES (mild diluted)

LIFESTYLE MODIFICATIONS

DO -wake up and sleep at consistent times -protect your eyes from excessive screen/light exposure -take short breaks during mental work -walk barefoot on grass (calming for nerves) -maintain regular bowel movements

AVOID -skipping meals -excessive screen time or late night work -excess heat (sun exposure, spicy food, long fasting) -pverexertion or excessive talking/ stress

DIET TO BE FOLLOWED -warm, cooked foods (soups, dals, rice, boiled veggies) -cooling herbs- coriander, fennel, cardamom, mint -ghee, coconut, almonds , soaked dates/figs -buttermilk with cumin and coriander (good digestion+pitta balance)

AVOID -sour, spicy, and fermented items- pickle, vinegar, curd at night -raw salads in large quantities -tea, coffee, alcohol, fried snacks -very dry foods (biscuits, crackers)- aggravates vata

YOGA AND PRANAYAM -balasana= relieves head pressure -paschimottanasana= calms nervous system -viparita karani= relaxes brain, improves circulation -sheetali and sheetakari= cools body and mind -nadi sodhana= balances both vata and pitta -yoga nidra= deep restoration

Practice daily, even for 15 minutes. Avoid hot yoga or intense pranayam like kapalbhati

INVESTIGATIONS ADVISED -Eye check up -thyroid profile -vitamin b12 and D -MRI brain-if severe- to rule out structural issues

Migraines don’t vanish ovrnight- but with combined care, frequency and severity usually reduce a lot. Consistency is key. Think of it less as “one-time cure” and more as management path that strengthen your system over time

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

Experiencing regular headaches and eye heaviness can often be related to imbalances in the Vata and Pitta doshas as per Ayurvedic understanding. Let’s focus on lifestyle and dietary changes, and incorporate practices that target these imbalances.

First, consider your daily routine. Consistency in your dailt activities can stabilize Vata. Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day. Make sure you’re getting enough restful sleep. Minimize screen time, especially in the evening, as it can increase Pitta, contributing to the headache and eye strain.

In terms of diet, consume warm, nourishing foods. Avoid cold, dry, and spicy foods which can aggravate Vata and Pitta. Meals should include ghee, which pacifies Vata and Pitta. Try to incorporate vegetables like squash and zucchini, and sweet fruits like ripe bananas into your diet. Reduce your intake of caffeine and alcohol, because these can contribute to headaches by increasing Vata and dehydration.

Hydration is key. Drink water regularly, but sip warm water or herbal teas like chamomile or mint which are soothing for both Vata and Pitta.

Practicing Pranayama — specifically the Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing) — can help balance energies and reduce tension. Adding gentle yoga postures like Shavasana or Balasana (child’s pose) can also provide relief from stress, known contributors to headache.

Lastly, perform a gentle self-massage with sesame oil on your head and temples before showering. For a more holistic approach, consult an Ayurvedic physician to get personalized guidance on herbs such as brahmi or ashwagandha that might aid recovery.

For severe or persistent symptoms especially if they suddenly worsen, immediate medical attention is advised to rule out underlying conditions.

Migraine episodes, particularly with symptoms in the eyes and a sense of heaviness, can suggest a possible imbalance in the Vata and Pitta doshas. These doshas are often aggravated by irregular routines, poor diet, or stress. Addressing both lifestyle and diet, alongside specific exercises, can help restore balance.

First, consider your diet. Incorporate more Pitta-pacifying and Vata-soothing foods. Favor cooling, lightly-cooked meals. Include ghee, fresh cow’s milk, cucumbers, watery fruits like melons, and cooked leafy greens. Avoid spicy, fried, or fermented foods, as these can exacerbate Pitta. Stay hydrated with room-temperature water or herbal teas like coriander or chamomile.

Your daily routine can also play a significant role. Maintain a regular sleep schedule, aiming for 7-8 hours of restful sleep. Engage in calming activities before bed, such as listening to soft music or gentle breathing exercises.

Consider incorporating yoga and balancing exercises. Gentle yoga postures like Shavasana (Corpse Pose), Setu Bandhasana (Bridge Pose), and Viparita Karani (Legs Up the Wall Pose) can alleviate headache tension. Practicing Pranayama, such as Nadi Shodhana (Alternate Nostril Breathing), can also help calm the mind.

The pressure point called 'Marma’ therapy focuses on points at the temples and along the sides of the nose. Apply gentle circular pressure for a few minutes daily.

If the migraines persist or worsen, it’s crucial to consult a healthcare professional to further explore underlying causes and treatment options. Regular monitoring and a comprehensive approach are essential.
