headache medicine - #17502
For the past few months, I’ve been dealing with headaches almost every day. Sometimes, they start in the morning, and other times, they hit me in the afternoon when I’m at work. The pain is mostly on my forehead and temples, but sometimes it moves to the back of my head. It’s not a sharp pain, but a dull, throbbing feeling that just doesn’t go away easily. I’ve tried different headache medicine from the pharmacy, but they only give temporary relief. Within a few hours, the pain comes back. I’ve noticed that my headaches get worse when I’m stressed or if I skip a meal. If I don’t sleep well, the next day is guaranteed to be horrible. I drink tea in the morning, and sometimes coffee when I need to focus, but I don’t know if caffeine is helping or making it worse. My diet is mostly vegetarian, and I try to eat fresh food, but could something in my diet be triggering these headaches? A friend told me that Ayurveda has a better approach than just taking headache medicine every time. Instead of treating just the symptoms, Ayurveda looks at the root cause. I don’t want to rely on pills forever, so I really want to understand if there are Ayurvedic solutions for long-term relief. Are there specific herbs or oils in Ayurveda that work like headache medicine but without side effects? Could there be an imbalance in my doshas causing these constant headaches? I’ve also heard about Panchakarma therapy—would that help in my case? Also, does Ayurveda recommend any lifestyle or dietary changes to reduce dependency on headache medicine? I would love to try natural remedies instead of just taking painkillers. If Ayurveda has a permanent solution, I’d really like to give it a try.
