Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

hello Deepa,

Thank you for sharing your concerns. Based on the symptoms you’ve mentioned mild headache on the sides and near the ear area, warm sensation in the eyes, and low energy this pattern is commonly seen in Pitta-Vata imbalance in Ayurveda, often connected to mental fatigue, screen exposure, dehydration, unexpressed stress, or subtle digestive disturbances (Ama).

Even if your meals are simple and homemade, sometimes overactivity, inadequate hydration, long exposure to sunlight or screens, or unprocessed emotional stress can slowly build up internal heat and dryness, especially in people with naturally active or Pitta-dominant constitutions.

Let’s correct this gently by supporting your nervous system, eyes, and digestion.

1. Ama Pachana (First 3–4 days):

Start here to clear subtle toxins and reduce heaviness.

Jeerakarishtam – 15 ml with equal water twice daily after meals Hingvashtaka Churna – ½ tsp with warm water after lunch and dinner

2. Internal Medicines (from Day 4 onward): Saraswatarishta – 15 ml with equal water at bedtime (for nervous system and sleep support) Pathyadi Kadha (Kwath) – 15 ml with water twice a day before food (helps with headaches and eye strain) Ashwagandhadi Lehyam – 1 tsp at bedtime with warm milk or water (for strength and energy)

3. External and Lifestyle Support: Apply a drop of Ksheerabala Tailam (101) to each nostril at bedtime (nasya) for 7 days—this calms Vata, helps headache and sleep Practice nadi shodhana pranayama (10 min daily) Reduce screen exposure, especially after 8 PM Drink coriander-fennel-cumin decoction during the day (1 tsp each boiled in 2 cups water, reduce to 1 cup, sip warm)

Investigations (if not recently done): Vitamin B12 and D levels CBC Eye check-up (for strain, dryness) Thyroid profile (if persistent fatigue continues)

You’re already doing a great job by staying active and eating simple meals. These symptoms are your body’s early signals asking you to slow down and nourish it more deeply. With just a little gentle support and inner calm, you’ll find your energy and clarity returning.

Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

Don’t worry Deepa ji,

First of all avoid excessive spicy, sour and salty ,oily, fried etc.

And start taking these medications too, 1.Giloyghanvati 1-1-1 2.Brahmi cap.1-0-1 3.shatavari tab.2-0-2 with lukewarm milk twice in a day.

**FOLLOW 1. A consistent daily routine for meals and sleep. 2.Regular practice of yoga, meditation, and pranayama can help calm the mind. 3. 7-8 hours of quality sleep per night. Avoid late nights and establish a relaxing bedtime routine. 4.Take frequent breaks from screens and use blue light filters to minimize eye strain. 5.Massage your scalp with warm SESAME OIL OR BRAHMI OIL. TAKE CARE😊

Headache might be due to several reasons If one sided it might be due to migraine Start taking Medha vati- Ashwagandha capsule 1 tablet twice daily after food with lukewarm milk Do pranayama yoga meditation Drink plenty of fluids

Along with these start taking PATHYADI KASHAYAM 20ML with equal amount of Lukewarm water empty stomach twice in a day. FOLLOW UP AFTER 1 MONTH…

Thank you for explaining your condition in detail. Although your headaches are mild and located on the sides above the ears, with associated warm eyes and low energy, your active lifestyle and adequate sleep are positive factors. However, these symptoms suggest a pitta–vata imbalance, possible eye strain, and low ojas (vitality). Addressing digestion, cooling pitta, nourishing the nervous system, and improving energy reserves will be key.
