जब मैं पहाड़ी इलाकों में होता हूँ तो मेरे माथे और आँखों में लगातार तनाव क्यों होता है?

Question

जब मैं पहाड़ी इलाकों में होता हूँ, तो मुझे अपने माथे और पूरे चेहरे पर लगातार तनाव महसूस होता है। इसके साथ ही, चश्मा पहनने पर मेरी आँखों में भी लगातार तनाव रहता है। इस वजह से, मैं पूरे दिन तनाव में महसूस करता हूँ।

Pathogenesis)
••​Dosha: Primary Vata (specifically Prana Vata and Vyan Vata), secondary Pitta (Alochaka Pitta in the eyes).
••​Dushya: Rasa, Rakta, Snaayu (tendons/ligaments), and Sira (blood vessels/nerves).
••​Khavaigunya (Weak Site): Shiras (head), Lalaata (forehead), and Netra (eyes).
••​Aggrataing Factors: Sheeta (cold), Ruksha (dry), and Chala (windy) guna of hilly areas, combined with continuous refractive strain.
Line of Treatment (Chikitsa Sutra)
​The treatment strategy must focus on Vata-Shamana (calming Vata), Snehana (oleation to counter dryness and constriction), and Chakshushya (eye-strengthening) therapies.
​1. Sthanik Chikitsa (Local Therapies)
••​Shiroabhyanga & Mukhabhyanga: Daily gentle application of Ksheerabala Taila or Maha Triphala Ghrita (lukewarm) on the forehead, temple region, and facial muscles. This counteracts the Sheeta and Ruksha guna of the hills, relaxing the tense Snaayu.
••​Upanaha / Sveda: Mild, localized sudation. Applying a warm compress or a herbal poultice (Vata-hara herbs) over the forehead helps dilate localized channels and relieves the tension.
••​Akshi Tarpana: This is highly recommended for the eye strain. Administering Maha Triphala Ghrita pool over the eyes for a specific duration will provide deep nourishment to Alochaka Pitta and pacify local Vata.
••​Pratimarsha Nasya: Daily instillation of 2 drops of Anu Taila or Shadbindu Taila in each nostril in the morning. “Nasa hi shiraso dvaram”—it will strengthen the nervous system, reduce facial strain, and improve tolerance to cold winds.
Formulation Class Specific Recommendations Dosage & Anupana Clinical Rationale
••Ghrita Kalpana Maha Triphala Ghrita or Jeevantyadi Ghrita 1 tsp (5-10g) with warm water/milk on an empty stomach in the morning. Best for Chakshushya (eye health) and pacifying Vata-Pitta induced strain.
••Rasayana / Balya Saptamrit Lauh 1-2 tablets (250-500mg) twice daily with honey and Ghrita (unequal quantity). Specific classical formulation for refractive errors, eye strain, and headache.
••Vata-hara / Shoolahara Shirashooladi Vajra Ras OR Pathyadi Kadha Ras: 1 tab twice daily after food.
••Kadha: 15-20 ml with equal water twice daily. Directly targets Shiro-shoola and facial nerve/muscle tension.
••Nervine Tonics Ashwagandhadi Churna or Brahmi Vati 1 tab of Brahmi Vati at bedtime with warm milk. Reduces the psychological stress and fatigue built up throughout the day due to chronic physical strain.
Protective Gear: When in hilly terrains, always keep the head, ears, and forehead covered with warm clothing (mufflers/caps) to block the direct impact of Chala (wind) and Sheeta (cold) guna.
​Dietary Changes: Incorporate warm, unctuous (Snigdha), and cooked food. Avoid cold, dry, stale, or gaseous (Vatala) foods. Drink lukewarm water throughout the day.
​Netra Prakshalana: Wash your eyes with lukewarm Triphala Kashaya (filtered thoroughly) or pure rose water to soothe the ocular muscles.

Dr. Shashank Aggarwal · Answer

Your symptoms may be related to a combination of eye strain, stress, Vata aggravation, and sensitivity to altitude or pressure changes. In Ayurveda, hilly or cold windy environments can increase Vata dosha, which may lead to forehead tightness, facial strain, headache, eye fatigue, disturbed focus, and mental stress.
Since you also mentioned slight blurry vision with new glasses, an incorrect or not fully adjusted eye prescription may also be contributing to the continuous strain.
Ayurvedic approach focuses on calming the nervous system, relaxing the eyes, and improving circulation:
• Triphala Ghrita – traditionally used for eye nourishment and reducing eye fatigue.
• Saptamrit Lauh – may support eye strain, headache, and visual weakness under supervision.
• Brahmi or Ashwagandha – can help stress, mental fatigue, and nervous tension.
• Gentle application of warm Ksheerbala Taila or sesame oil on scalp and forehead before sleep may reduce strain and improve relaxation.
Lifestyle advice: • Get your eye power rechecked once, especially if symptoms started after new glasses.
• While travelling in hilly areas, stay well hydrated and avoid excessive screen exposure.
• Practice eye relaxation: close eyes for a few minutes every hour and do gentle palming.
• Adequate sleep is very important because eye and forehead strain increase with stress and fatigue.
• Pranayama, especially Anulom Vilom and deep breathing, may help reduce pressure sensation and stress.
If headaches become severe, dizziness, nausea, double vision, sinus blockage, or persistent blurred vision occurs, then proper medical and eye evaluation is important to rule out migraine, sinus pressure, eye muscle strain, or altitude-related issues.

Hello 
Thank you for sharing your concern 
Strain on forehead along with eye strain, headache should not be ignored
This can be due to 
-Eye power may have get mismatched or wrongly interpreted
-Strain in eye muscles due to high altitude 
-there may be muscle tightness due to stress
-Dry eyes 
**First thing i will strongly recommend**
As your symptoms are severe and also vision is blurry with new glasses
Better opt for 
-A complete eye examination with refraction
-Eye pressure 
-Also screen for sinus related issues 
**Ayurvedic plan of treatment**
▪️**Brahmi vati** 1 tablet twice daily after food 
**Daily practices which are effective**
-Apply cow ghee on your soles and temples before sleeping
-do gentle scalp massage with brahmi oil
**Travel to hilly areas**
-Stay hydrated
-Avoid long fasting
As yout symptoms are been there more than 6 months better to get a complete eye evaluation 
Wishing you a good health😊
Warm Regards
