Hello Margaret, In Ayurveda, chronic headaches are often linked to an imbalance of Vata and Pitta doshas, leading to stress, poor digestion, or toxin accumulation. Management involves herbal remedies like Brahmi and Ashwagandha for calming the mind, Shankhpushpi and Guduchi to reduce inflammation, and Triphala for detoxification. Therapies such as Shirodhara with Brahmi oil, Nasya with Anu Taila, and head massages using cooling oils like coconut or sesame oil can provide relief. Following a Pitta-pacifying diet by avoiding spicy, fried, and acidic foods, staying hydrated, and consuming cooling foods like cucumber and ghee is recommended. Practicing Pranayama and gentle yoga further supports relaxation and reduces stress. Consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner ensures personalized treatment for long-term relief.

Hello Margarette, I'm sorry to hear you're dealing with persistent and severe headaches. To better understand your condition, I would need more details about the type of headache you're experiencing. Is the pain localized to a specific area (like the forehead, temples, or behind the eyes), or is it generalized? Is it throbbing, dull, or sharp? Do you experience any other symptoms like nausea, light sensitivity, or vomiting along with the headache? How are your sleep patterns, stress levels, and hydration? Do you have any history of migraine, tension headaches, or sinus issues? Also, are there any dietary factors, such as excessive caffeine, alcohol, or certain foods, that could be contributing? Lastly, has there been any recent trauma, such as neck strain or a fall, that could be linked to the onset of the headache?
