Dealing with prolonged sinus-related headaches and migraines can truly disrupt daily life. Your current approach with nasal drops and steam inhalation is a good start, but let's explore some ayurvedic insights that might help further.
First, considering the root cause in Ayurveda, your symptoms might stem from an imbalance in the Vata and Kapha doshas. When these doshas are aggravated, they can lead to congestion and pressure in the sinus cavities.
1. **Nasya Treatment**: You're already using nasal drops, but ensure they're herbal and specific for sinus issues. Anu taila is a classical ayurvedic nasal oil that can be quite effective. Apply 2-3 drops in each nostril daily, especially in the morning, ensuring you’re lying down and your head tilted slightly backwards.
2. **Dietary Adjustments**: Focus on a Kapha-pacifying diet. Reduce dairy, cold foods, and excessive salt. Incorporate warm, spicy foods like ginger and black pepper. Also, introduce turmeric and honey, which have natural anti-inflammatory properties.
3. **Herbal Allies**: Herbs like Trikatu (a blend of ginger, black pepper, and long pepper) can help. It promotes digestion and metabolism, reducing Kapha accumulation. Try taking a small amount with honey, twice a day.
4. **Pranayama Practice**: Breathing exercises like Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing) strengthens the respiratory system and balances doshas. Practice for 10 minutes daily to help alleviate pressure and improve nasal airflow.
5. **Hydration and Rest**: Drink warm water throughout the day to help thin mucus and keep hydrated. Ensure you are getting adequate sleep, as restful sleep is crucial for healing and balances the Vata dosha.
6. **Avoid Triggers**: Identify and avoid known migraine triggers. Environmental factors, stress, and dietary elements like caffeine and chocolate can sometimes worsen symptoms.
In cases, where the headache and migraine persist despite these natural measures, it's vital to consult a healthcare professional for a more thorough assessment. Persistent symptoms merit a more detailed exploration for any underlying health concerns. Your wellness is a priority, and a combined approach may be the best route.
