Why Do I Keep Getting Headaches Even When I’m Not Stressed? - #15123

Anonymously

For the past few months, I’ve been getting headaches way too often. It’s not just when I’m stressed or tired—it happens randomly, sometimes when I wake up, sometimes in the middle of the day, sometimes even when I’m just sitting and doing nothing. It starts as a dull pain in the temples or behind my eyes, and then it slowly spreads, making it hard to concentrate. I don’t think it’s migraines because the pain isn’t unbearable, but it’s enough to ruin my focus and mood. I also don’t like taking painkillers every time I get a headache, so I’m trying to figure out what’s causing them. Could this be related to digestion issues or toxins in the body? I’ve noticed that on days when I eat heavier foods, I feel sluggish and more likely to get a headache. I’ve heard that dehydration, poor posture, and even emotional stress can trigger headaches. I do sit at a desk all day, and I don’t drink as much water as I probably should. Could these be reasons why my headaches keep coming back? I want to try Ayurveda before taking more medication. Are there specific herbs, teas, or lifestyle changes that can help prevent headaches? Would an oil massage or head treatment help? I also read that certain yoga poses can relieve headaches—is that true? If anyone has struggled with frequent headaches and found a natural solution, please let me know. I really want to get rid of this problem for good.

Doctors’ responses

Frequent headaches can definitely be linked to dehydration, poor posture, stress, and digestion issues—all of which may create imbalances in the body. In Ayurveda, headaches are typically associated with Vata (stress, tension) or Pitta (heat, digestion-related) imbalances. Addressing these root causes holistically may provide long-term relief. Herbs and Teas: Try Ginger tea to help with digestion and reduce sluggishness. Brahmi and Ashwagandha can calm the nervous system, while peppermint tea helps cool down excess Pitta. Oil Treatments: Head massages with Brahmi oil or coconut oil can improve circulation and relieve tension. Massaging the soles of your feet before bed may also calm Vata energy and improve sleep, reducing headaches. Lifestyle Tips: Stay hydrated (aim for 8+ glasses daily), maintain good posture with proper desk ergonomics, and practice deep breathing exercises like Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) to calm the mind. Yoga: Poses like Child’s Pose (Balasana), Cat-Cow Stretch, and Seated Forward Bend (Paschimottanasana) can release tension in the neck and shoulders and improve circulation, helping to relieve headaches naturally.
