Has anyone tried thalam ayurveda treatment for migraines? seeking real experiences

Question

I’ve been struggling with intense migraines for the past few years—sharp, pulsating pain that lasts for hours, sometimes even days. It’s usually triggered by stress or changes in weather, and I often feel nauseous with extreme sensitivity to light. I’ve tried different medications, but they leave me feeling drowsy and don’t seem to prevent the attacks.

I recently heard about Thalam Ayurvedic treatment, where a herbal paste is applied to the scalp, supposedly calming the nervous system and reducing headaches. Has anyone tried Thalam therapy specifically for migraine relief? How effective was it, and did it provide lasting results? Also, do you need multiple sessions, or can you feel the difference after just one treatment?

Thalam therapy, an Ayurvedic treatment involving the application of herbal pastes to the scalp, can be very effective for managing migraines, especially when they are stress-induced or related to nervous system imbalance. This therapy is designed to calm **Pitta** and **Vata** doshas, which are often implicated in migraine conditions, and it can help relieve the intense, pulsating pain by soothing the nervous system. The herbal pastes, often containing ingredients like **Sandalwood**, **Turmeric**, **Ashwagandha**, and **Brahmi**, are applied to the scalp to cool the head, reduce inflammation, and promote relaxation. Many people experience significant relief after just one or two sessions, but for lasting results, multiple treatments over a period of weeks may be needed. Along with Thalam therapy, Ayurvedic remedies like **Brahmi**, **Ashwagandha**, and **Turmeric** in tablet or powder form, as well as **Shirodhara** (a treatment where warm oil is poured over the forehead), can help reduce the frequency and severity of migraines. Dietary modifications and stress management practices like yoga and meditation are also recommended as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. It’s important to consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner to determine the best course of treatment for your specific condition.
