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.

I’m Dr. Hemanshu, a second-year MD scholar specializing in Shalya Tantra (Ayurvedic Surgery), with a focused interest in para-surgical interventions such as Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma. My academic and clinical journey is rooted in classical Ayurvedic surgical wisdom, complemented by a modern understanding of patient care and evidence-based approaches. With hands-on training and experience in managing chronic pain conditions, musculoskeletal disorders, hemorrhoids, fistula, and other ano-rectal conditions, I provide treatments that emphasize both relief and long-term wellness. I am deeply committed to offering individualized treatment plans that align with the patient’s prakriti (constitution), disease progression, and lifestyle factors. I believe healing is not limited to procedures alone; it also requires compassion, communication, and continuity of care. That’s why I ensure each patient receives personalized guidance—from diagnosis and therapy to post-treatment care and preventive strategies. I also incorporate Ayurvedic principles like Ahara (diet), Vihara (lifestyle), and Satvavajaya (mental well-being) to promote complete healing and not just symptomatic relief. Whether it's managing complex surgical cases or advising on conservative Ayurvedic therapies, my goal is to restore balance and improve the quality of life through authentic, safe, and holistic care. As I continue to deepen my clinical knowledge and surgical acumen, I remain dedicated to evolving as a well-rounded Ayurvedic practitioner who integrates traditional practices with modern sensibilities.

I am a dedicated Ayurveda practitioner with a deep-rooted passion for restoring health through traditional Ayurvedic principles. My clinical approach revolves around understanding the unique constitution (Prakruti) and current imbalance (Vikruti) of each individual. I conduct comprehensive consultations that include Prakruti-Vikruti Pareeksha, tongue examination, and other Ayurvedic diagnostic tools to identify the underlying causes of disease, rather than just addressing symptoms. My primary focus is on balancing the doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—through individualized treatment plans that include herbal medicines, therapeutic diets, and lifestyle modifications. I believe that healing begins with alignment, and I work closely with my patients to bring the body, mind, and spirit into harmony using personalized, constitution-based interventions. Whether managing chronic conditions or guiding preventive health, I aim to empower patients through Ayurvedic wisdom, offering not just relief but a sustainable path to well-being. My practice is rooted in authenticity, guided by classical Ayurvedic texts and a strong commitment to ethical, patient-centered care. I take pride in helping people achieve long-term health outcomes by integrating ancient knowledge with a modern, practical approach. Through continuous learning and close attention to every detail in diagnosis and treatment, I strive to deliver meaningful, natural, and effective results for all my patients.

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 EXTERNAL THERAPIES CAN GO TO CLINIC FOR THIS -NETRA TARPANA -SHIRODHARA -GREEVA BASTI DIET TO BE FOLLOWED -warm, light, cooked foods - rice, wheat, barley -moong dal, masoor dal -ghee=nourishes brain and eyes - cooked veggies-carrot, beets, pumpkin, ash gourd, bottle gourd - seasonal fruits-avoid sour fruits -cumin, coriander , fennel, turmeric -cow's milk(warm, boiled with turmeric or nutmeg) - herbal teas- brahmi, chamomile, licorice AVOID -cold, dry, or leftover food - excess spicy, sour, or salty items -pickles, vinegar, red chilli - excessive tea/coffee - fermented foods- idli, dosa,curd at night -white sugar, bakery items - night time heavy meals YOGA AND LIFESTYLE DO'S -neck rotations, shoulder rolls, bhujangasana, matsyasana daily -trataka (focused gazing) to improve eye power - palming and eye blinking exercises -bhramari, nadi sodhana pranayam-very calming -sleep before 10 pm -take breaks every 30-40 mins during reading or screen work DON'T: -use mobile/computer in dark -bend neck forward for long-forward head posture - skip meals -sleep in the day time or after heavy meals SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES -triphala eye wash- boil 1 tsp triphala in 1 cup =cool and strain through clean cloth =wash eyes gently in the morning DO FOLLOW CONSISENTLY HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL THANK YOU DR.
