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
