Chronic Migraine, Underweight (23F, 5'1", 36 kg), Brain Fog & Low Appetite — Seeking Ayurvedic Relief with Hostel Routine - #22965

Amrita Sinha

Namaste, I am a 23-year-old female student, 5'1", currently weighing 36 kg (I was around 40 kg two years ago). I live in a college hostel and attend 9 AM to 5 PM classes daily. Since 2021, I’ve been experiencing chronic migraines and have been taking allopathic medicines (Trypnex 10, Inderal 20, Nexpro 10), but I now wish to explore Ayurvedic healing for long-term relief. My symptoms and concerns are: Frequent migraines, usually on the left side, with nausea and light sensitivity Ongoing "tis-tis" sensation in my head (above the left ear) Very low appetite, especially in summer — often need water with every bite to swallow food Strong preference for liquid foods like curd, lassi, or fruits Chronic fatigue and irregular bowel movements Always been underweight, despite efforts to eat more During exams, I often go blank and struggle to recall what I studied Living in a hostel with limited food options and fixed meal timings I’m looking for: 1. Ayurvedic medicines or remedies to manage migraine, boost appetite, aid digestion, and improve memory 2. Suitable yoga asanas or pranayamas I can do daily (within limited space and hostel constraints) 3. Any lifestyle recommendations that are practical for a student living in a hostel with a 9-to-5 academic schedule I truly want to heal holistically and would be grateful for guidance on a natural and sustainable Ayurvedic path. Dhanyavaad 🙏

Dr. Rukkam Sharma
With over 7 years of dedicated clinical experience, I have been committed to practicing authentic Ayurvedic medicine with a patient-centered and root-cause-based approach. My journey as an Ayurvedic physician has allowed me to work with a wide range of patients suffering from chronic and lifestyle-related conditions. I have developed a strong foundation in diagnosing dosha imbalances and tailoring treatment protocols that include classical Ayurvedic medicines, Panchakarma therapies, personalized diet, and lifestyle modifications. Throughout my career, I have focused on combining traditional Ayurvedic wisdom with a clear understanding of each patient’s unique constitution (prakriti) and health history. My areas of interest include managing metabolic disorders, joint and musculoskeletal issues, skin diseases, digestive problems, and gynecological conditions through time-tested Ayurvedic formulations and therapies. I am especially passionate about preventive healthcare and believe in educating patients on seasonal routines (ritucharya), daily regimens (dinacharya), and holistic wellness practices. I emphasize open communication and empathetic consultation, ensuring that each patient feels heard, supported, and motivated throughout their healing journey. My clinical background, combined with continuous learning, has helped me maintain a high standard of care and build lasting trust with my patients. I believe true healing comes not only from treating symptoms but by restoring harmony between body, mind, and spirit—the core philosophy of Ayurveda.

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.

Dr. Raj Kalariya
I am Dr. Raj Kalariya, an Ayurvedic Doctor who believes real healing doesn’t come from quick fixes but from understanding how the body, mind & nature actually work together. I studied Ayurveda deeply — not just the texts but the meaning behind them — and over time I’ve come to see how ancient principles can still guide modern health care in powerful ways. Sometimes I mix a bit of modern medical insight too, because honestly, balance is what matters most. My focus is on helping people restore health naturally — through personalized Ayurvedic treatment, herbal formulations, diet correction, and daily lifestyle routines (Dinacharya) that actually fit into real life, not some ideal version of it. I look at root causes, not just the outward simptoms, because each person’s constitution (Prakriti) is unique. And that’s the thing I love most about Ayurveda — no two people are the same, even with the same illness. Sometimes patients come to me after trying many things, and I always remind them healing can be slow, it needs patience. Ayurveda isn’t about suppressing; it’s about aligning. I use classical diagnostic methods like Nadi Pariksha and detailed case observation to understand what’s going on beneath the surface. Then I design a plan that blends herbs, diet, detoxification (Panchakarma if needed), and daily mindfulness — a full, wholistic path toward better health. I’ve worked with cases ranging from chronic digestive problems and stress-related disorders to preventive care for immunity and vitality. I believe prevention is the real medicine — if you know how to live right according to your Dosha, half the diseases never start. Sometimes it feels like people forgot how natural healing can be, and that’s what I try to bring back, a bit at a time. If you’re looking for a natural, thoughtful, and honest approach to health — not just a prescription — then that’s what I try to offer everyday. (Sorry, maybe I wrote too long here!) But yes, Ayurveda isn’t just my work, it’s my way of seeing life, even when things don’t go perfectlly.

Dr. Snehal Vidhate
I am Dr. Snehal Vidhate, born n brought up in Maharashtra—and honestly, for as long as I remember I’ve felt this pull towards Ayurveda. Not the fancy version ppl throw around, but the deep, real kind that actually helps ppl. I did my BAMS from YMT Ayurvedic Medical College in Kharghar. That’s where I got my basics strong—like really studied the shastras, understood prakriti, doshas, the whole deal. Not just crammed theory but started to see how it shows up in real lives. After finishing BAMS, I got into this one-year certificate course at Rashtriya Ayurveda Vidyapeeth, Delhi—honestly a turning point. I was super lucky to learn Kerala Ayurveda from my Guru, Prof. Dr. G.G. Gangadharan. He’s got this way of seeing things... simple but deep. That time with him taught me more than any textbook ever could. It kinda reshaped how I look at health, healing n how precise Ayurveda can be when you respect its roots. Right now I’m doing my MD in Panchakarma from SDM Ayurveda College, Bangalore. This place is like a hub for serious Ayurveda work. The Panchakarma training here? Super intense. We go deep into detoxification & rasayana therapy—not just theory again, but hands-on. I’m learning to blend classical techniques with today’s clinical demands.. like how to make Vamana or Basti actually doable in modern patient setups. My current practice is really about merging tradition with logic. Whether it’s chronic skin issues, gut problems, stress burnout or hormone stuff—my goal is to get to the root, not just hush the symptoms. I use Panchakarma when needed, but also a lot of ahara-vihara tweaks, medhya herbs, sometimes just slowing ppl down a bit helps. I really believe Ayurveda’s power is in its simplicity when done right. I don’t try to fix ppl—I work *with* them. And honestly, every patient teaches me something back.

Dr. M.Sushma
I am Dr. Sushma M and yeah, I’ve been in Ayurveda for over 20 yrs now—honestly still learning from it every day. I mostly work with preventive care, diet logic, and prakriti-based guidance. I mean, why wait for full-blown disease when your body’s been whispering for years, right? I’m kinda obsessed with that early correction part—spotting vata-pitta-kapha imbalances before they spiral into something deeper. Most ppl don’t realize how much power food timing, digestion rhythm, & basic routine actually have… until they shift it. Alongside all that classical Ayurveda, I also use energy medicine & color therapy—those subtle layers matter too, esp when someone’s dealing with long-term fatigue or emotional heaviness. These things help reconnect not just the body, but the inner self too. Some ppl are skeptical at first—but when you treat *beyond* the doshas, they feel it. And I don’t force anything… I just kinda match what fits their nature. I usually take time understanding a person’s prakriti—not just from pulse or skin or tongue—but how they react to stress, sleep patterns, their relationship with food. That whole package tells the story. I don’t do textbook treatment lines—I build a plan that adjusts *with* the person, not on top of them. Over the years, watching patients slowly return to their baseline harmony—that's what keeps me in it. I’ve seen folks come in feeling lost in symptoms no one explained… and then walk out weeks later understanding their body better than they ever did. That, to me, is healing. Not chasing symptoms, but restoring rhythm. I believe true care doesn’t look rushed, or mechanical. It listens, observes, tweaks gently. That's the kind of Ayurveda I try to practice—not loud, but deeply rooted.

Dr. Prasad Pentakota
I am Dr. P. Prasad, and I’ve been in this field for 20+ years now, working kinda across the board—General Medicine, Neurology, Dermatology, Cardiology—you name it. Didn’t start out thinking I’d end up spanning that wide, but over time, each area sort of pulled me in deeper. And honestly, I like that mix. It lets me look at a patient not just through one lens but a whole system-wide view... makes more sense when treating something that won’t fit neatly in one category. I’ve handled everything from day-to-day stuff like hypertension, diabetes, or skin infections to more serious neuro and cardiac problems. Some cases are quick—diagnose, treat, done. Others take time, repeated check-ins, figuring out what’s really going on beneath those usual symptoms. And that’s where the detail matters. I’m pretty big on thorough diagnosis and patient education—because half the problem is ppl just not knowing what’s happening inside their own body. What’s changed for me over years isn’t just knowledge, it’s how much I lean on listening. If you miss what someone didn’t say, you might also miss their actual illness. And idk, after seeing it play out so many times, I do believe combining updated medical practice with basic empathy really shifts outcomes. Doesn’t have to be complicated... it just has to be consistent. I keep up with research too—new drugs, diagnostics, cross-specialty updates etc., not because it’s trendy, but cuz it’s necessary. Patients come in better read now than ever. You can’t afford to fall behind. The end goal’s the same tho—help them heal right, not just fast. Ethical practice, evidence-based, and sometimes just being there to explain what’s going on. That’s what I stick to.

I am someone who believes Ayurveda isn’t just some old system — it’s alive, and actually still works when you use it the way it's meant to be used. My practice mostly revolves around proper Ayurvedic diagnosis (rogi & roga pariksha types), Panchakarma therapies, and ya also a lot of work with herbal medicine — not just prescribing but sometimes preparing stuff myself when needed. I really like that hands-on part actually, like knowing where the herbs came from and how they're processed... changes everything. One of the things I pay a lot of attention to is how a person's lifestyle is playing into their condition. Food, sleep, bowel habits, even small emotional patterns that people don't even realize are affecting their digestion or immunity — I look at all of it before jumping to treatment. Dietary therapy isn’t just telling people to eat less fried food lol. It’s more about timing, combinations, seasonal influence, and what suits their prakriti. That kind of detail takes time, and sometimes patients don’t get why it matters at first.. but slowly it clicks. Panchakarma — I do it when I feel it's needed. Doesn’t suit everyone all the time, but in the right case, it really clears the stuck layers. But again, it's not magic — people need to prep properly and follow instructions. That's where strong communication matters. I make it a point to explain everything without dumping too much Sanskrit unless they’re curious. I also try to keep things simple, like I don’t want patients feeling intimidated or overwhelmed with 10 things at once. We go step by step — sometimes slow, sometimes quick depending on the case. There’s no “one protocol fits all” in Ayurveda and frankly I get bored doing same thing again and again. Whether it’s a fever that won’t go or long-term fatigue or gut mess — I usually go deep into what's behind it. Surface-level fixes don’t last. I rather take the time than rush into wrong herbs. It’s more work, ya, but makes a diff in long run.

I am someone who’s honestly just really drawn to how deep Ayurveda goes—like really deep—not just treating what’s showing on the surface but getting into what’s actually causing it underneath. I really believe that even those complicated lifestyle diseases, stuff like diabetes or BP or obesity that people think they’ll just have to live with forever, can totally be managed with Ayurvedic principles. Not magically or overnight, but through proper diagnosis, diet tweaks, daily habits, and herbs that actually work if you use them right. That’s the part I focus on—making Ayurveda work practically, not just in theory. After finishing my BAMS, I’ve worked with chronic conditions for over a year now in clinical setups. Mostly patients dealing with long-term stuff that doesn’t go away with one pill—usually the kind of disorders rooted in stress, wrong food choices or too much sitting. I’ve seen that if you really listen first, like actually listen—hear their story, feel where they’re coming from—half the work’s already done. Then when you assess their Prakriti, figure out where the doshas are out of balance, and connect that with their history (plus any modern test reports they might bring), it gives you this full picture that’s so valuable. My treatment plans aren't one-size-fits-all. Sometimes it’s about bringing agni back into balance. Sometimes just clearing aam helps. Most people are shocked that things like bloating or even periods issues can shift just by aligning food and herbs with their constitution. And if the case is acute or there’s a red flag, I have no problem referring for emergency allopathic care. Integrative care makes sense—Ayurveda doesn’t have to be isolated from modern medicine. My aim? It's not just to fix a symptom. I want people to feel at ease in their own body again. To build habits they don’t need to break later. To know their own rhythm, not just follow some generic health trend. That’s what Ayurvedic healing means to me... not perfect, but real.

Dr. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
I am Dr. Maitri, currently in my 2nd year of MD in Dravyaguna, and yeah, I run my own Ayurvedic clinic in Ranoli where I’ve been seeing patients for 2 years now. Honestly, what pulled me into this path deeper is how powerful herbs really are—when used right. Not just randomly mixing churnas but actually understanding their rasa, virya, vipaka etc. That’s kinda my zone, where textbook knowledge meets day-to-day case handling. My practice revolves around helping people with PCOD, acne, dandruff, back pain, stiffness in knees or joints that never seem to go away. And I don’t jump to giving a long list of medicines straight away—first I spend time figuring out their prakriti, their habits, food cycle, what triggers what… basically all the small stuff that gets missed. Then comes the plan—herbs (single or compound), some diet reshuffling, and always some lifestyle nudges. Sometimes they’re tiny, like sleep timing. Sometimes big like proper seasonal detox. Being into Dravyaguna helps me get into the depth of herbs more confidently. I don’t just look at the symptom—I think okay what guna will counter this? Should the drug be snigdha, ushna, tikta? Is there a reverse vipaka that’ll hurt the agni? I ask these questions before writing any combo. That’s made a huge diff in outcomes. Like I had this case of chronic urticaria that would flare up every week, and just tweaking the herbs based on sheetala vs ushna nature... helped calm the system in 3 weeks flat. Not magic, just logic. I also work with women who are struggling with hormonal swings, mood, delayed periods or even unexplained breakouts. When hormones go haywire, the skin shows, digestion slows, and mind gets foggy too. I keep my approach full-circle—cleansing, balancing, rejuvenating. No quick fixes, I tell them early on. What I’m hoping to do more of now is make Ayurveda feel practical. Not overwhelming. Just simple tools—ahara, vihara, aushadha—used consistently, with some trust in the body’s own healing. I’m still learning, still refining, but honestly, seeing people feel in control of their health again—that’s what keeps me rooted to this.

Dr. Manjula
I am an Ayurveda practitioner who’s honestly kind of obsessed with understanding what really caused someone’s illness—not just what hurts, but why it started in the first place. I work through Prakruti-Vikruti pareeksha, tongue analysis, lifestyle patterns, digestion history—little things most ppl skip over, but Ayurveda doesn’t. I look at the whole system and how it’s interacting with the world around it. Not just, like, “you have acidity, take this churna.” My main focus is on balancing doshas—Vata, Pitta, Kapha—not in a copy-paste way, but in a very personalized, live-and-evolving format. Because sometimes someone looks like a Pitta imbalance but actually it's their aggravated Vata stirring it up... it’s layered. I use herbal medicine, ahar-vihar (diet + daily routine), lifestyle modifications and also just plain conversations with the patient to bring the mind and body back to a rhythm. When that happens—healing starts showing up, gradually but strongly. I work with chronic conditions, gut imbalances, seasonal allergies, emotional stress patterns, even people who just “don’t feel right” anymore but don’t have a name for it. Prevention is also a huge part of what I do—Ayurveda isn’t just for after you fall sick. Helping someone stay aligned, even when nothing feels urgent, is maybe the most powerful part of this science. My entire practice is rooted in classical Ayurvedic texts—Charaka, Sushruta, Ashtanga Hridayam—and I try to stay true to the system, but I also speak to people where they’re at. That means making the treatments doable in real life. No fancy lists of herbs no one can find. No shloka lectures unless someone wants them. Just real healing using real logic and intuition together. I care about precision in diagnosis. I don’t rush that part. I take time. Because one wrong assumption and you’re treating the shadow, not the source. And that’s what I try to avoid. My goal isn’t temporary relief—it’s to teach the body how to not need constant fixing. When someone walks away lighter, clearer, more in tune with their system—that’s the actual win.

Dr. Anupriya
I am an Ayurvedic doctor trained at one of the most reputed institutes (yeah, the kind that makes u sweat but also feel proud lol) where I completed my BAMS with 70%—not just numbers but real grind behind it. My focus during & after graduation has always been on treating the patient not just the disease, and honestly that philosophy keeps guiding me even now. I usually see anywhere around 50 to 60 patients a day, sometimes more if there's a health camp or local rush. It’s hectic, but I kinda thrive in that rhythm. What matters to me is not the number but going deep into each case—reading every complaint, understanding symptoms, prakriti, current state, season changes etc. and putting together a treatment that feels “right” for that person, not just for the condition. Like, I don’t do one-size-fits-all plans. I sit down, make case reports (yup, proper handwritten notes sometimes), observe small shifts, modify herbs, suggest diet tweaks, even plan rest patterns when needed. I find that holistic angle super powerful. And patients feel it too—some who come in dull n restless, over weeks show clarity, skin settles, energy kinda gets back... that makes the day worth it tbh. There’s no shortcut to trust, and i get that. Maybe that’s why patients keep referring their siblings or maa-papa too. Not bragging, but when people say things like “you actually listened” or “I felt heard”, it stays in the back of my mind even when I’m dog tired lol. My goal? Just to keep learning, treating honestly and evolving as per what each new case teaches me. Ayurveda isn’t static—it grows with u if u let it. I guess I’m just walking that path, one custom plan at a time.

Dr. Anjali Sehrawat
I am Dr. Anjali Sehrawat. Graduated BAMS from National College of Ayurveda & Hospital, Barwala (Hisar) in 2023—and right now I'm doing my residency, learning a lot everyday under senior clinicians who’ve been in the field way longer than me. It’s kind of intense but also really grounding. Like, it makes you pause before assuming anything about a patient. During my UG and clinical rotations, I got good hands-on exposure... not just in diagnosing through Ayurvedic nidan but also understanding where and when Allopathic tools (like lab reports or acute interventions) help fill the gap. I really believe that if you *actually* want to heal someone, you gotta see the whole picture—Ayurveda gives you that depth, but you also need to know when modern input is useful, right? I’m more interested in chronic & lifestyle disorders—stuff like metabolic imbalances, stress-linked issues, digestive problems that linger and slowly pull energy down. I don’t rush into giving churnas or kashayams just bcz the texts say so... I try to see what fits the patient’s prakriti, daily habits, emotional pattern etc. It’s not textbook-perfect every time, but that’s where the real skill grows I guess. I do a lot of thinking abt cause vs symptom—sometimes it's not the problem you see that actually needs solving first. What I care about most is making sure the treatment is safe, ethical, practical, and honest. No overpromising, no pushing meds that don’t fit. And I’m always reading or discussing sth—old Samhitas or recent journals, depends what the case demands. My goal really is to build a practice where people feel seen & understood, not just “managed.” That's where healing actually begins, right?

Dr. Soukhya Hiremath
I am Dr Soukhya, completed my BAMS degree under Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Science, and sometimes I still can’t believe how fast that year of full-time practice went by… feels like I m still figuring small things while already handling so many female disorders and skin related conditions every day. I work mostly with Ayurveda treatments for gynic cases, hormonal ups-and-downs, chronic skin troubles and a few other things that always need more gentle hands than people expect. I am practicing for a year now, but honestly the learning kind of never stop, each patient shows something new… sometimes I even pause thinking “wait, did I explain that right” and then go again with more clarity. My focus stays on understanding the root-cause, balancing doshas properly, and giving care that feel practical not over complicated. I treated many gynic issues, from irregular cycles to pregnency related discomforts, and a lot of cosmetology concerns too (acne, pigmentation and stuff that people get worried about really quickly!). I am also running offline yoga classes for pregnant women and others too… it started simple but grew into this small supportive space where I see how much differnce breathing and mindful movement makes. Sometimes the schedule gets messy, or I m not sure if the batch timing was perfect, but the sessions still turn meaningful. Ayurveda, yoga, routine corrections — all these tie together in my approach. I try to keep things straighforward, even if my notes get a bit scattered here and there or a comma miss somewhere, but the intention stays steady: help people feel better with methods that respect body’s natural healing.
