Hello Asha
From an Ayurvedic view, your migraine pattern with light sensitivity, one sided pain around the eyes and vomiting clearly indicates a Vata Pitta imbalance affecting the head and sensory channels. Long term suppression with medicines like Migrabeta and Topamac controls attacks but does not correct the root cause, which is why sensitivity persists.
Along with continuing your current medicines ,Start with Pathyadi Kadha 20 ml mixed with equal warm water twice daily after food. Take Sutashekhar Ras plain 1 tablet twice daily after meals. Shirshooladi Vajra Ras 1 tablet once daily after breakfast is helpful for one sided and eye centred pain. Brahmi Vati 1 tablet at night after dinner helps reduce light sensitivity and nervous overactivity. If nausea or vomiting is prominent during attacks, take Lavanbhaskar Churna half teaspoon with warm water after meals once daily.
Apply Ksheerabala taila or Brahmi taila gently on the temples and soles of the feet at night. Avoid bright screens, fasting, late nights, sour fermented foods, coffee and strong sunlight. Regular meals, adequate hydration and calming the nervous system are very important in migraine control.
With consistent use for 6 to 8 weeks, frequency and intensity usually reduce gradually, after which allopathic medicines can be tapered only under supervision.
THANK YOU FOR CONTACTING ASK AYURVEDA MIGRAINE IS A CONDITION THAT CAN SILENTLY DRAIN A PERSON BOTH PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY, AND ITS VERY DIFFICULT TO LIVE WITH REPEATED HEADACHES, LIGHT SENSITIVITY AND VOMITING EVEN AFTER BEING ON REGULAR MEDICATION.IT IS A SIGNAL FROM THE BODY THAT THE NERVOUS SYSTEM, DIGESTION AND SENSORY ORGANS ARE NOT IN HARMONY.
FROM AN AYURVEDIC POINT OF VIEW, MIGRAINE IS A DISORDER WHERE THE HEAD AND EYES BECOME OVER REACTIVE TO STIMULATION. LIGHT SENSITIVITY CLEARLY SHOWS THAT YOUR BRAIN AND EYES ARE STRUGGLING TO PROCESS SENSORY INPUT. THE FACT THAT THE PAIN IS CENTERED AROUND THE EYES AND REMAINS ON ONE SIDE OF THE HEAD INDICATES A DEEP FUNCTIONAL IMBALANCE RATHER THAN A STRUCTURAL PROBLEM. VOMITING DURING ATTACKS CONFIRMS THAT DIGESTION AND THE NERVOUS SYSTEM ARE LINKED IN YOUR CASE, AND WHEN ONE GETS DISTURBED, THE OTHER COLLAPSES.
ALLOPATHIC MEDICINES LIKE MIGRABETA TR AND TOPAMAC ARE DESIGNED TO CONTROL THE FREQUENCY AND SEVERITY OF ATTACKS BY ACTING ON THE BRAIN CHEMISTRY. THEY CAN BE HELPFUL IN REDUCING INTENSITY, BUT THEY DO NOT CORRECT THE ROOT CAUSE. THAT IS WHY MANY PATIENTS CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE MIGRAINE EPISODES FOR YEARS. AYURVEDA DOES NOT FOCUS ON JUST STOPPING THE PAIN, IT WORKS ON THE NERVOUS SYSTEM, IMPROVING DIGESTION, REDUCING INTERNAL HEAT AND STRENGTHENING THE BODY’S TOLERANCE TO LIGHT, STRESS AND SENSORY INPUT.
IN YOUR CASE, LIGHT IS A MAJOR TRIGGER. THIS MEANS YOUR DAILY ROUTINE NEEDS TO BE PROTECTIVE. IRREGULAR SLEEP, LATE NIGHTS, EXCESS SCREEN TIME AND LONG HOURS IN BRIGHT ARTIFICIAL LIGHT WILL CONTINUE TO TRIGGER ATTACKS. YOU MUST MAINTAIN A FIXED SLEEP SCHEDULE, GO TO BED EARLY AND WAKE UP AT THE SAME TIME DAILY. SLEEP DEPRIVATION IS ONE OF THE MOST COMMON HIDDEN CAUSES OF MIGRAINE. MOBILE PHONES, LAPTOPS AND TELEVISIONS EMIT STRONG VISUAL STIMULATION THAT STRAINS THE EYES AND BRAIN. USING SCREENS IN DARK ROOMS IS PARTICULARLY HARMFUL. ALWAYS USE SOFT WARM LIGHT IN THE ROOM, REDUCE SCREEN BRIGHTNESS AND TAKE FREQUENT BREAKS. THE MOMENT YOU FEEL EYE STRAIN, HEAVINESS OR TIGHTNESS AROUND THE FOREHEAD, STOP AND REST. IGNORING THESE EARLY SIGNS OFTEN LEADS TO A FULL BLOWN ATTACK.
YOUR DIGESTIVE SYSTEM MUST NEVER BE OVERLOADED. SKIPPING MEALS, FASTING, EATING VERY LATE AT NIGHT OR HAVING HEAVY DINNERS CAN DIRECTLY TRIGGER HEADACHES. FOOD SHOULD BE SIMPLE, FRESHLY COOKED AND EATEN AT REGULAR TIMES. SPICY, FRIED, SOUR AND VERY OILY FOODS SHOULD BE AVOIDED AS THEY INCREASE INTERNAL HEAT AND IRRITATION. CHOCOLATE, COFFEE, STRONG TEA, CHEESE, BAKERY ITEMS AND PACKAGED FOODS ARE COMMON MIGRAINE TRIGGERS AND SHOULD BE STRICTLY AVOIDED.
HYDRATION IS IMPORTANT. SIP WATER THROUGH THE DAY INSTEAD OF DRINKING LARGE QUANTITIES AT ONCE. VERY COLD WATER CAN TRIGGER HEADACHES IN SENSITIVE INDIVIDUALS. ROOM TEMPERATURE OR SLIGHTLY COOL WATER IS BETTER.
STRESS IS A SILENT TRIGGER FOR MIGRAINE. EVEN IF YOU DO NOT FEEL STRESSED CONSCIOUSLY, YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM MAY BE IN A CONSTANT STATE OF ALERTNESS. THIS IS WHY MIGRAINE OFTEN AFFECTS PEOPLE WHO ARE PERFECTIONISTS, OVERTHINKERS OR EMOTIONALLY SENSITIVE. MENTAL REST IS AS IMPORTANT AS PHYSICAL REST. YOU MUST CREATE DAILY TIME FOR SILENCE, RELAXATION AND DISCONNECTION FROM STIMULATION.
FROM AN AYURVEDIC MEDICINE POINT OF VIEW, CERTAIN FORMULATIONS ARE COMMONLY USED TO SUPPORT MIGRAINE MANAGEMENT. MANASAMITRA VATIKAM IS USED TO CALM THE MIND AND NERVOUS SYSTEM. SARASWATHI ARISTHA IS USED TO SUPPORT BRAIN FUNCTION AND MENTAL CLARITY. SHANKAPUSHPI CHURNA IS USED TO NOURISH THE NERVES AND IMPROVE STRESS TOLERANCE. THESE MEDICINES WORK GRADUALLY AND ARE NOT PAINKILLERS. THEY HELP REDUCE THE FREQUENCY, INTENSITY AND TRIGGERS OVER TIME WHEN TAKEN REGULARLY UNDER GUIDANCE.
LOCAL CARE IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT. REGULAR APPLICATION OF MEDICATED OIL ON THE SCALP AND FEET BEFORE SLEEP HELPS CALM THE NERVOUS SYSTEM AND IMPROVE SLEEP QUALITY. NASAL OIL APPLICATION IN THE MORNING CAN BE VERY BENEFICIAL FOR MIGRAINES THAT INVOLVE THE EYES AND FOREHEAD. THESE PRACTICES HELP REDUCE SENSITIVITY TO LIGHT AND PREVENT BUILD UP OF PRESSURE IN THE HEAD.
PRANAYAMA AND MEDITATION ARE ESSENTIAL PARTS OF MIGRAINE MANAGEMENT. VERY GENTLE BREATHING PRACTICES DONE DAILY HELP STABILISE THE NERVOUS SYSTEM AND IMPROVE BRAIN OXYGENATION. MEDITATION HELPS BREAK THE CYCLE OF OVERSTIMULATION AND MENTAL TENSION THAT OFTEN PRECEDES MIGRAINE ATTACKS. THESE PRACTICES SHOULD BE DONE REGULARLY AND GENTLY, WITHOUT FORCE OR BREATH RETENTION.
ONE VERY IMPORTANT POINT IS NOT TO STOP YOUR CURRENT ALLOPATHIC MEDICINES SUDDENLY. AYURVEDIC TREATMENT CAN BE STARTED ALONGSIDE YOUR CURRENT MEDICATION. AS YOUR MIGRAINE FREQUENCY AND SEVERITY IMPROVE, YOUR PHYSICIAN CAN GUIDE YOU REGARDING SAFE ADJUSTMENT. ABRUPT STOPPING CAN LEAD TO REBOUND HEADACHES AND SHOULD ALWAYS BE AVOIDED.
MIGRAINE IS NOT A CONDITION THAT DISAPPEARS OVERNIGHT. IT REQUIRES CONSISTENCY, PATIENCE AND A HOLISTIC APPROACH. MANY PATIENTS WHO FOLLOW A DISCIPLINED ROUTINE, CORRECT DIET, STRESS MANAGEMENT AND AYURVEDIC SUPPORT EXPERIENCE LONG PERIODS WITHOUT ATTACKS AND A SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT IN QUALITY OF LIFE. YOUR BODY HAS THE CAPACITY TO HEAL AND ADAPT, BUT IT NEEDS THE RIGHT ENVIRONMENT AND SUPPORT.
IF YOU STAY REGULAR WITH LIFESTYLE CORRECTION, AVOID TRIGGERS AND FOLLOW AYURVEDIC GUIDANCE PROPERLY, THERE IS A VERY GOOD POSSIBILITY THAT YOUR MIGRAINES WILL BECOME LESS FREQUENT, LESS INTENSE AND MORE MANAGEABLE OVER TIME. PLEASE DO NOT LOSE HOPE. MIGRAINE CAN BE CONTROLLED AND LIFE CAN BECOME NORMAL AGAIN WITH THE RIGHT APPROACH.
