You’re having pain in your head, eyes, and neck, so first I need to ask a few things before starting treatment—do you have BP or sugar? Any past injuries to the head or neck? What kind of pain is it—dull, sharp, shooting, or heavy? And what work do you do daily—like if you're in front of a screen a lot, or any physical strain at work? These details help me understand the root cause. But for now, we can start with some basic treatment to give you relief. We'll begin with Shirodhara or Takradhara, which helps calm your mind and nervous system. Then we’ll do Tarpana, an eye treatment using medicated ghee like Brahmi or Jeevantyadi ghritham to strengthen and relax your eyes. We'll also give you Nasya—nasal drops with Anu tailam—to clear toxins from your head and sinus region. Internally, I’ll start you on Trayodashanga Guggulu, two tablets morning and night after food, and Pathyakshadhatriyadi kashayam, 15 ml twice a day before food, with equal water. These will help with the pain, nerve weakness, and eye strain. Also, just to be sure, get your eye pressure, vision power, and a retina check done. Once I get all this information, I’ll plan your full treatment properly.

Experiencing pain in the head, neck, and eyes can often be interconnected, especially with visual strain. From an Ayurvedic perspective, imbalance in the doshas, particularly Pitta and Vata, might be contributing to this discomfort. These symptoms can be indicative of stress, eye strain, or even sinus-related issues.
Firstly, ensure you're taking frequent breaks when reading or working at a screen. Every 20 minutes, shift your focus to a distant object for at least 20 seconds. This can help reduce strain on the eyes.
For the dietary perspective, consider incorporating foods that balance Pitta and Vata. Cooling foods like cucumber, leafy green, and sweet fruits such as pears can be beneficial. Avoid excessive consumption of spicy, sour, or excessively salty foods, as these can aggravate Pitta.
You can try a few relaxing eye exercises to help relieve tension. Palming is one such technique where you rub your palms together to create warmth and then gently place them over your closed eyes for a few minutes.
Nasya (nasal) treatment with Anu taila can help balance doshas in the head region. Place a drop or two of warm Anu taila in each nostril in the morning.
Abhyanga, or self-massage with warm sesame oil focused on the neck and shoulders, might relieve muscular tension in that area. Always follow up with a warm, not hot, shower to remove excess oil. Doing this regularly can reduce stiffness and improve circulation.
It's advisable to practice some gentle yoga, especially poses like Cat-Cow and Neck Rolls, which can alleviate tension in the neck and head region. Additionally, stress-relief techniques such as meditation or deep breathing can help in managing these symptoms.
Please note, if headaches or neck/eye pain are severe or persistent, it is crucial to seek professional medical attention. A more thorough examination may be needed to rule out any underlying conditions.

NAMASTE YASMIN,
Based on your description, you May be experiencing a condition involving cervicogenic headache or eye strain related headache, which can affect the head, neck and eyes simultaneously, especially if there's prolonged screen use , poor posture, or uncorrected vision.

HELLO YASMIN,
WHAT'S HAPPENING IN YOUR BODY?
-head pain(headache)
-Eye pain(especially around the pupils)
- Neck pain and stiffness
These three are often connected, and they may not be separate problems- instead they are different signs of one deeper imbalance in your body.
Ayurveda works with three main energies called doshas
-VATA= controls movement , nerves, pain
-PITTA= controls heat, digestion, eyesight, emotions
-KAPHA= controls strength, stability, lubrication.
In your case
-Vata is aggravated- causing nerve pain, stiffness, tension
-Pitta is also disturbed- leading to eye burning, sensitivity and headache
This imbalance may be due to:
-mental stress and overthinking
-too much screen time or reading without breaks
-improper posture-like bending the neck for long
- late sleeping and irregular meals
-poor digestion, acidity, or constipation.
All these areas are connected through:
-nerves
-blood flow
- muscle tension
If your neck muscles are tight(from bad posture or tension), they can press or nerves that go to your head and eyes, leading to-
-headaches
-eye pain
- neck stiffness- all happening at the same time
This is often called " crevice-occipital tension" or "referred pain"
TREATMENT GOAL
-balance vata and pitta doshas
-relieve pain
- improve eye strength and clarity
-relax the nervous system
- support cervical spine health
- prevent recurrence
INTERNALLY START WITH
1) PATHYADI KASHAYA- 20 ml with equal water twice daily after food for 3 months
=balances pitta and vata, especially in the head; relieves migraine , headache, eye strain
(one of the best classical formulations for eye and head disorder)
2) SAPTAMRIT LAUH- 1 tab twice daily with honey or ghee for 2-3 months
= improves vision, reduces eye fatigue, supports optic nerve health, useful in myopia/presbyopia
3) BRAHMI VATI(WITH GOLD OR PLAIN)- 1 tab at bedtime with warm milk for 2-3 months
=calms nervous systemm, reduces anxiety, supports deep sleep, useful in psycosomatic headaches
4) TRAYODASHANG GUGGULU- 2 tabs twice daily after food with warm water for 3 months
=relieves neck stiffness, nerve related pain, cervical spondylosis symptoms
5) RASNASAPTAK KASHAYA- 20 ml with water twice daily before meals for 2-3 months
= anti-inflammatory, reduces neck stiffness, muscle pain, and vata kapha related conditions
6) NASYA WITH ANU TAILA- 2 drops in each nostril daily in the morning
for 45-60 days
=clears sinus, head, and neck stiffness
