God Bless You 😊🙏

If you have any questions u can ask me .I will answer u to level of your satisfaction.U have text option here.

Hi, your symptoms can be interconnected. Your BMI is low, showing you are underweight. As you are living in a hostel and your food intake will be poor, these can lead to nutritional deficiencies. And can cause fatigue, migraines and bowel issues.

I will advise you to check iron, vitamin B12, Vitamin D and magnesium. You can take supplements if needed.

Keep your body always hydrated, especially in summer. You can consider electrolyte drinks also.

1. Pathyaakshadhatryadi kashayam tablet 2 -0-2 before food twice daily. This medicine will relieve your migraine condition

2. Mandoora vatakam 0-1-0 with buttermilk after food.

3. Aswagandha lehyam 1 tsp at night. If possible you can take along with milk.

4. Avipathy choornam 1 tsp with ghee at night in every weekend.

You can adopt early to bed and rising habit. If you have time regular massage your head with some medicated oil like BALAHATHADI KERA THAILAM. It will relieve your headache and will keep you calm. Drink warm water, avoid cold drinks.

Asanas like balasana( child’s pose), bhujangasana ( cobra pose), pavanamuktasana, setu bandhasana etc will help.

To address your chronic migraine and related issues, first, let’s consider the principle of Vata-Pitta imbalance, which is likely contributing to your symptoms. Migraines often relate to Pitta, with its location in the head and characteristic sharp pain, while your underweight and digestion troubles could involve Vata. Let’s find a balanced approach.

For migraines, try Shirodhara therapy, where warm herbal oil continuously pours on the forehead—if possible, at a nearby Ayurvedic center. A simpler home remedy involves applying Brahmi oil on your scalp every evening, massaging gently. For improved appetite and digestion, use Hingvastak Churna (take half a teaspoon in warm water before meals to stimulate agni) and consider Triphala at night to regularize bowel movements.

For immunity and to support energy, incorporate Chyawanprash (one teaspoon daily morning). Ashwagandha mixed with warm milk before bed can help with fatigue and stress, improving overall vitality.

In terms of yoga, Shavasana or corpse pose can aid in deep relaxation and stress relief after a day of classes. It’s a must to include Bhramari Pranayama, a humming bee breath, reducing stress and anxiety, helping with migraines. Nadi Shodhana or alternate nostril breathing may aid in balancing the doshas. These are all doable in a small hostel room.

Regarding lifestyle, try to maintain regular sleep timings, a consistent daily routine stabilizes Vata. Soothe your Pitta by avoiding spicy and fried hostel foods when possible, opt for what’s sattvic and simple. Keep a schedule and posture for study breaks, stretching every hour to mitigate the effects of long sitting hours.

Remember, while working through hostel food constraints, focus on what’s possible: warm meals whenever available, as cold tends to aggravate Vata, and seek hydrating options that work for you, like lukewarm water over chilled drinks. Always keep an eye on your surroundings, creating the most peaceful environment wherever possible, even if it’s just a small corner.
