How to overcome migraine?? - #19902
Farwa
I am suffering from migraine since 2017. In start it was about two or three attacks per year but now it's in worst condition. I get 4-5 attacks in a month. Mostly I noticed, when I am not taking enough sleep or gastric problem, its attack is must. Any kind of headache is changed into migraine in the end.
Age: 33
Chronic illnesses: Suffering from pcos too

To overcome a migraine, it is essential to identify triggers such as stress, certain foods, or lack of sleep and minimize exposure to them. Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or aspirin may help, but it's important to take them at the first sign of a migraine. Hydration is key, as dehydration can worsen symptoms, so drinking water can help. Creating a quiet, dark environment to rest in can also reduce sensitivity to light and sound. Regular sleep patterns, relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation, and certain lifestyle changes, such as regular exercise, can prevent the onset of migraines in the long term. If migraines persist or worsen, consulting a healthcare professional for more targeted treatments may be necessary.

Hi Farwa,
I’m sorry to hear you’ve been dealing with frequent migraines.
Do you experience any other symptoms alongside the migraines, like nausea, sensitivity to light or sound, or visual disturbances?
How is your sleep quality, and do you notice any specific foods or stress factors that may trigger an attack?
For managing migraines, you can try Ashwagandha to help reduce stress and balance hormones, and Turmeric for its anti-inflammatory effects. For gastric issues, Triphala may help support digestion. Managing PCOS is also key, so ensure you're following a diet that supports hormonal balance, and try to maintain a consistent sleep routine.

Managing migraines, especially when they have increased in frequency, can greatly benefit from an Ayurvedic approach that targets the root causes and aligns with your unique health profile.
Firstly, let's, address the factors you mentioned. Lack of sleep and gastric issues are indeed common migraine triggers. In Ayurveda, migraine is often seen as a result of Pitta Dosha imbalance, where heat and inflammation in the body are up. To tackle this, establishing a regular routine with a focus on balanced sleep is critical. Aim for about 7-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep per night and maintain a consistent bedtime.
Regarding dietary habits, spicy, sour, or oily foods can aggravate Pitta, so it's advisable to minimize these. Instead, include Pitta-pacifying foods, such as sweet fruits, cooked leafy greens, and grains like rice and oats. Cucumbers and melons can be particularly helpful for their cooling effect. Eating at regular intervals is also important to stabilize digestion.
When it comes to gastric problems, an imbalanced agni or digestive fire might be the culprit. Try incorporating a small piece of fresh ginger with a pinch of salt before meals to stimulate digestion. Consuming warm water throughout the day can help cleanse and soothe the digestive tract, another handy tip.
Stress management is another pillar; yoga and meditation can support a calm mind. Practices like Shitali Pranayama (cooling breath) are effective for reducing Pitta flare-ups that could trigger a migraine.
An herbal approach might be beneficial too. Brahmi or Gotu kola supports effective cognitive functions and can be calming. Turmeric, with its anti-inflammatory properties, can also help. However, please do consult an Ayurvedic practitioner to tailor these recommendations to your specific condition and ensure they're suitable for you.
Additionally, migraine can sometimes require urgent intervention. If an attack feels unusually severe or prolonged, seek medical attention promptly. The goal is to achieve holistic balance, while prioritizing your health and well-being carefully.
