Hello dear,
You’re 32, and dealing with IIH (Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension) for two years now — I know how frustrating it is to live with constant head pressure, blurry vision, headaches, and dependence on medicines like Diamox, Strocit, etc. But yes, Ayurveda does offer a clear, structured, and long-term approach that helps reduce symptoms, prevent relapse, and may gradually reduce your need for lifelong medication if followed properly.
Let me explain practically.
In your case, the CSF pressure is high because the fluid is not draining properly from the brain channels. This aligns with a Kapha-Vata imbalance in Ayurveda — meaning the channels (srotas) are blocked with heaviness, and the flow (Vata) is disturbed. That’s why you feel fullness, dull headaches, visual strain, and occasional foggy mind. This can happen even without a brain tumor — just poor circulation and overproduction or poor absorption of CSF.
Now our aim is to:
Improve CSF drainage
Unblock the brain’s fluid pathways
Nourish the nervous system (Majja Dhatu)
Reduce fluid retention in the body
Calm your mind and improve natural pressure regulation
This is how we go step by step.
Internal Ayurvedic Medicines (Minimum 8 weeks):
Punarnavadi Kashayam – 15 ml + 45 ml warm water before meals (for fluid balance)
Saraswatarishta – 15 ml + 15 ml water after meals (nervous system + mood)
Saptamrita Lauh – 1 tablet twice daily (for eye strain and optic nerve support)
Kalyanaka Ghrita – 1 tsp with warm milk at bedtime (for brain clarity + Vata balancing)
Brahmi Vati – 1 tablet at night (for calmness and sleep)
If fluid retention is more: Add Varunadi Kashayam before lunch and dinner
Panchakarma / External Therapies (if available near you):
Nasya: Use Anu taila – 2 drops in each nostril daily after hot water bath
Shirodhara with Brahmi taila – 7 sittings over 2 weeks
Takradhara (medicated buttermilk on forehead) – especially if heat or eye symptoms
Basti therapy: Simple Vata-Basti with Bala taila or Ksheerabala taila can be done under supervision if there is severe pressure or stiffness
Diet and Lifestyle (Pathya):
Drink warm water, not cold or chilled
Eat light, warm, freshly cooked meals – include barley, red rice, moong dal, ash gourd, bottle gourd
Add dry ginger, coriander, jeera in cooking
Use cow ghee in small amounts to nourish nerves
Make sure bowels move daily – if not, use Triphala at night
Sleep by 10:30 PM and limit screen time, especially before bed
Avoid Strictly (Apathya):
Daytime sleep (except short rest after lunch if needed)
Curd, paneer, fried foods, bakery items
Cold drinks or iced water
Late night eating or heavy dinners
Skipping meals
Stressful mental strain, overthinking, loud noise
Suggested Investigations (if not done recently):
MRI Brain with CSF flow sequence
Fundus examination (optic disc and nerve swelling)
Serum electrolytes (especially if on long-term Diamox)
TSH, Vitamin D3, Vitamin B12
Urine routine (to check kidney handling of electrolytes)
IIH is a condition that can be managed naturally when we support the body’s own intelligence. These medicines will not suppress but retrain your body to regulate CSF pressure. With consistency, you may be able to taper off allopathic meds gradually under your doctor’s guidance.
Take this step-by-step. Be kind to yourself. You are not alone in this.
If you have any doubts, you can contact me.
Take care,
Regards,
Dr. Karthika
