Thyroid disorders, seeking natural Ayurvedic solutions

Question

I have been suffering from severe headache attacks since 15/02/2024 and my symptoms have gradually become worse over the past few months. I first noticed a sharp, pulsating pain on the right side of my head that would last for several hours. Initially, the pain was intermittent, but over time it has increased in frequency and intensity. I have tried over-the-counter painkillers and some basic home remedies but nothing seems to offer long lasting relief. I attempted a short course of Ayurvedic treatment with herbal decoctions and oil massages starting on 01/03/2024, but the improvement was only minimal. Now, I experience the headache several times a week and sometimes it is accompanied by nausea and light sensitivity. Could you please provide me with advice on an effective Ayurvedic treatment plan to manage my migraine and reduce these severe attacks? I am also curious if certain lifestyle changes or dietary modifications recommended in Ayurveda might help in preventing further episodes.

According to your symptoms there is vata and pitta dosha imbalance we should manage that dosha first for that you can start with nasya therapy in which you have to instill 2 drops of anutaila in each nostril every day in morning and than gargle with warm water do not ingest the oil. 
Along with that you have to take some medicine which are

1)sutsekar rasa 1 tab twice a day 
2) brahmi ghrita 1tsp at bedtime with warm water if you can take ghee 
3) pathyadi kashay 15 ml with warm water twice a day
4) you can try shatavari and yashtimadhu tea

You have to make some lifestyle and dietary modification 

Avoid: Spicy, fried, fermented foods, excessive caffeine, and irregular meal timings.

Yoga & Pranayama: Sheetali & Bhramari Pranayama can help reduce headaches.

Your symptoms suggest a Pitta-Vata imbalance. For relief, try Pathyadi Kashayam (as prescribed), Brahmi Ghrita (1 tsp with warm milk at bedtime), and Shadbindu Taila (2 nasal drops daily). Regular head massages with Chandanadi Thailam or Dhanwantharam Thailam can help.

Adopt a cooling diet (avoid spicy, oily foods) and maintain a consistent sleep routine. Practice Sheetali Pranayama and Nadi Shodhana for stress relief. Consider Shirodhara therapy for lasting benefits.

Consult an Ayurvedic doctor for personalized care.

Dear,
Thank you for sharing your concerns. Based on your symptoms—sharp, pulsating headaches on the right side, increasing in frequency and intensity, along with nausea and light sensitivity—it is likely that you are experiencing migraine-like headaches. Ayurveda attributes such headaches primarily to an imbalance in Pitta and Vata doshas, often aggravated by stress, irregular diet, and lifestyle
	Saraswatarishta – 10 mL twice daily with equal quantity of water after food
	•	Gentle oil massage on the forehead with Jatamansi taila or Karpuradi taila followed by steam inhalation can provide relief.
	•	Avoid spicy, fermented, and processed foods, as they increase Pitta dosha.
	•	Include cooling foods like ghee, milk, coconut water, and seasonal fruits.
	•	Maintain regular meal timings and avoid fasting for long durations.
	•	Hydration – Drink lukewarm water infused with coriander seeds.
	•	Reduce screen time and stress levels, as they are common migraine triggers.
	•	Wake up early (before sunrise) to align with the body’s natural rhythms.
	•	Practice Nasya therapy (2 drops of Anu taila in each nostril every morning) to prevent recurrence.
	•	Engage in Pranayama (deep breathing exercises) like Bhramari and Anulom-Vilom to reduce stress and improve oxygen flow.
	•	Daily yoga (Shashankasana, Balasana) to relieve tension and improve blood circulation.
