Hello, Please check for eyesight and also see the if the headache is due to sinus infection. Based on the above 2 we can decide on appropriate medications as the medications differ for different origins Till then you can take the following: 1. Shira shuladri vajra ras 2—0—2 after breakfast and after dinner with a cup of warm water. 2. Manomitram 0–0–1 at bed time with a cup of hot milk Both for 7 days.

Hello Rohit,
I understand how difficult it can be to deal with persistent headaches, especially when they are connected to stress, anxiety, and overthinking. It’s good that you consulted a doctor already, but since the headache is not improving, a more holistic and natural approach focusing on reducing mental tension and improving circulation can help you heal in a gentle way.
🌿 Treatment Plan for Stress-Related Headache 1️⃣ Daily Relaxation Routine: 🌼 Deep Breathing Exercises (Pranayama): - Practice Anulom Vilom (Alternate Nostril Breathing) for 10 minutes twice a day (morning and evening) This helps calm the mind, reduce anxiety, and improve blood flow to the brain. 🌼 Meditation: - Practice Mindfulness Meditation or Guided Relaxation for 10–15 minutes daily to help reduce overthinking. Focus on present awareness without judgment. 🌼 Gentle Yoga Asanas: - Incorporate Shavasana (Corpse Pose), Sukhasana (Easy Pose), and Viparita Karani (Legs-Up-The-Wall) to relax the nervous system and relieve headache. 2️⃣ Herbal Support (Natural Internal Remedies): 1.Brahmi (Bacopa Monnieri) Powder: 1 g with warm milk or water, daily before bed, for 20–30 days 2.Ashwagandha churna(Withania Somnifera): 1 g powder with warm milk or water at night for 20–30 days. 3️⃣ Diet & Lifestyle Recommendations:
✔️ Avoid caffeine, processed, and fast foods ✔️ Drink plenty of warm water throughout the day ✔️ Include fresh fruits and vegetables in your meals ✔️ Eat light meals and avoid skipping meals ✔️ Ensure at least 7–8 hours of proper sleep daily ✔️ Maintain a calm, quiet environment, especially during work and before bedtime 4️⃣ Do’s & Don’ts:
✔️ Do maintain a regular sleep schedule ✔️ Do practice light physical activity like walking daily ✔️ Do spend time outdoors in fresh air to relieve mental tension ✖️ Don’t overuse painkillers like paracetamol regularly, as they don’t address root causes ✖️ Don’t use screen excessively without breaks ✖️ Don’t keep your mind active with stressful thoughts at night
🩺 Investigations (If Needed):
If the headache persists for more than a month or worsens, consult a neurologist for MRI/CT scan to rule out any other underlying causes.
⏳ Follow-Up Plan:
Monitor your headache frequency, intensity, and triggers daily in a notebook. Review progress after 2 weeks to adjust herbal doses or practices as needed.
🌱 With consistent care, stress management, and healthy habits, your headache will gradually reduce, and your mind will feel lighter and more peaceful.
🌼 Take small steps every day. Your well-being matters.
Warm regards, Dr.Sumi.S

Hi Rohit, I understand how frustrating it is to have a headache that is not going away even after taking medicines. Since your headache started after a period of stress, anxiety, and overthinking, it may be more related to tension-type headache but dont worry we are here to help you out😊
✅ Why it may be happening
Tension & stress —- tightness in scalp, neck, and shoulders — dull constant headache.
Vata imbalance (overthinking, irregular sleep, anxiety) —dryness, lightness –headache, restlessness.
Lifestyle habits — late nights, excess screen time, skipped meals, dehydration.
Digestion issues (ama/toxins) — heaviness and pain in the head.
✅ AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT
1. Nasya (Nasal Therapy)
Morning: 2 drops of Anu taila in each nostril. Helps calm Vata, reduces stress-related headaches.
2. Head & Foot Oil Massage Massage scalp and soles at night with Ksheerabala taila. Relieves stress, improves sleep, and reduces head pressure.
3 . Internal medication
1 Brahmi capsules 1-0-1 after food – calm the nervous system, reduce overthinking. 2 pathyakashadhtryadi ks tab 2-0-2 after food – reduces headache 3 Ashwagandharistha 30ml-0-30ml after food – balances stress and strengthens the mind.
✅ LIFESTYLE AND DIET
Stay hydrated (warm water or herbal teas like ginger-tulsi). Avoid excess tea/coffee, junk, fried, packaged food. Have regular meals – skipping meals worsens Vata headache. Take 7–8 hrs of sleep at fixed time. Reduce screen time and take eye breaks every 30–40 minutes.
✅STRESS AND MIND CALMING
Pranayama: practice Anulom-Vilom & Bhramari daily for 10 min. Meditation / Yoga Nidra before sleep to reduce anxiety. Gentle neck and shoulder stretches daily to release stiffness.
Your headache seems linked to stress and Vata imbalance. Regular nasya, head oiling, Brahmi/Ashwagandha, pranayama, and proper sleep can gradually reduce it.
With consistency, you’ll notice improvement in 2–3 weeks.
Wish you a good health 😊
Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

1) Brahmi oil- massage
2) shiroshooladi vajta rasa -250 mg 1 tab after food 3) sarasvatarishta -10 ml after food 2 times 4) tab smritisagar rasa -1 tab after food 2 times
hello rohit,
You have been having a persistent headache for the last 15–20 days. Temporary medicines like paracetamol can relieve pain for a short time, but they don’t address the root cause. Since you mentioned stress, anxiety, and overthinking, your headache is likely related to tension and Pitta imbalance in Ayurveda, which increases heat and pressure in the head.
Ayurvedic Medicines :
Brahmi Churna – ½ teaspoon, twice daily with warm milk or water, helps calm the mind and reduce headache. Ashwagandha Churna – ½ teaspoon, once daily at night with milk, for stress and anxiety relief. Shirodhara oil massage (optional, once a week) – if available, it helps relax head and nerves.
Investigations (if headache persists): Complete blood count and routine labs to rule out any infection or deficiency.
Eye check-up to rule out vision-related strain.
If headache continues, MRI/CT scan may be advised to rule out other causes (since paracetamol isn’t helping).
Along with medicines, simple practices like short breaks from screens, deep breathing, and meditation can greatly reduce stress-related headaches.
Warm regards, Dr. Karthika
