In Ayurveda, migraines are often associated with an imbalance in Vata or Pitta dosha, particularly when stress triggers the condition. To manage migraines, it’s important to focus on calming the nervous system and reducing inflammation. Herbs like Ashwagandha and Brahmi can help reduce stress and improve mental clarity. You can also try taking a mixture of Pippali and Ginger to promote circulation and alleviate tension. Drinking a warm concoction of turmeric and honey daily can reduce inflammation. Abhyanga, or oil massage, with cooling oils like coconut or sesame oil, can help soothe the nervous system. Additionally, practicing regular pranayama (breathing exercises) and maintaining a consistent sleep schedule will support your overall well-being and reduce the frequency of migraines.

Migraine is real annoying, I'm sorry you're going through that. Ayurveda can hopefully, offer a bit of relief. First off, your migraines might be linked to an imbalance in the "doshas," specifically pitta and vata. These are like energies that control different functions in our bodies. Stress you mention might be aggravating these doshas, and that's probably kicking off your headaches.
For start, let's talk diet. Stick with foods that are naturally cooling and soothing. Go for cucumbers, leafy greens like spinach, and seasonal fruits like pears and apples. Avoid spicy, fermented, or very hot foods, they can stir up the pitta dosha. Coffee and tea can be tricky too—try limiting them, see if that helps.
Drinking warm water with bit of ginger can be beneficial. Ginger's quite good at pacifying vata and even helps digestion. Take a small slice of fresh ginger and steep it in hot water. Sip on it in the morning if you can.
Herbs, yeah. Brahmi and Ashwagandha are worth trying. Brahmi helps calm mind, which is often inflamed by stress. Ashwagandha is an adaptogen—it helps the body adjust to stress. They are available as powders or capsules. Once a day, should do, but check with healthcare provider before beginning any new supplement, to be sure it's safe for you.
Massage might help too. A scalp and temple massage with a bit of rosemary or peppermint essential oil can ease the tension. Even 10-15 minutes can make a difference. Whatever works relaxes you.
Lastly, try sticking to a regular sleep schedule. It’s amazing what solid sleep can do. As hard as it is, maybe find a regular routine and avoid screens like an hour before bed, helps the mind wind down.
I do recommend speaking with a healthcare professional, especially if your pain gets worse. Lives aren't perfect, and migraines definitely suck, but attacking it with these ayurvedic approaches might give you some freedom back.
