It sounds like you’re experiencing a combination of Pitta and Vata imbalances, common during perimenopause. The migraine with heat and congestion suggests excess Pitta, while the restlessness, digestive issues, and alternating stool consistency hint at Vata disturbance. Let’s focus on balancing these doshas to alleviate your symptoms.

For immediate relief from migraine and head congestion, try a cooling oil massage on the scalp. Use Brahmi oil or coconut oil, applying gently in circular motions in the evening. Keep the oil on overnight if possible for soothing effects.

Diet-wise, favor cooling, Pitta-pacifying foods. Incorporate more sweet, bitter, and astringent tastes. Go for leafy greens, cucumber, and melons. Avoid spicy, sour, and salty foods that aggravate Pitta, especially alcohol and caffeine which can intensify heat symptoms.

To ease Vata and improve digestion, have warm, cooked meals, and consider a ginger tea before meals to stimulate agni. Steep a few slices of ginger in hot water for about 5-10 minutes and sip slowly. This will help with gas and promote a more stable digestion.

Pranayama techniques, such as Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing), can help balance Vata and reduce restlessness and anxiety. Practice it daily for 10 minutes, ideally in the morning.

For nasal congestion, neti pot with warm saline water can effectively clear nasal passages. Ensure to follow properly and disinfect the pot after each use.

The broken zygomatic bone from your past accident might contribute to facial sensitivity or pain, so gentle self-massage around that area with sesame oil could help soothe any leftover tension.

Since these symptoms have a complex root, continuous monitoring of your responses to these remedies is crucial. If severe symptoms persist or intensify, consult healthcare provider to rule out other underlying issues or to adjust treatment plan appropriately.

Your symptoms may relate to an imbalance of Pitta, perhaps aggravated by Vata. The heat and restlessness suggest excess Pitta, and the variability in stool might indicate Vata dhosha’s influence on your digestive system. Begin with dietary adjustments: favor cooling, Pitta-pacifying foods like sweet fruits, cucumbers, and coconut water. Avoid spicy, fried, and fermented foods that can exacerbate heat.

For your specific discomfort, Nasya treatment could help. Perform daily instillation of a few drops of Anu Taila, an Ayurvedic nasal oil, in each nostril to help clear your sinus congestion and balance your head’s energy channels. This might also alleviate some headache intensity.

Incorporate Triphala at bedtime to aid digestion and the consistency of bowel movements. One teaspoon in warm water should be sufficient. Additionally, practice daily Abhyanga, using coconut oil which cools and soothes the nervous system. Focus on your forehead, temples, and the area around eyes, gently massaging to relieve tension and promote relaxation.

Ensure you receive adequate rest and maintain a regular sleep schedule to support your body in restoring balance. Consider incorporating calming practices like Pranayama—specifically Sheetali or Chandra Bhedana breathing exercises—to cool the system.

Remember, if your symptoms persist or intensify, it is critical to seek direct medical attention to rule out any complications or underlying conditions that may need more immediate attention.
