Dr RC BAMS MS

THANK YOU FOR REACHING OUT AND TRUSTING WITH YOUR HEALTH JOURNEY THE PROBLEMS DESCRIBED ARE VERY CLEAR AND THERE IS A STRONG LINK BETWEEN STOMACH AND HEADACHE IN THIS CASE SO FIRST IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMOVE CONFUSION THIS IS NOT TWO SEPARATE ISSUES BUT ONE CORE IMBALANCE EXPRESSING IN DIFFERENT WAYS

FOR MORE THAN ONE YEAR THERE HAS BEEN SKIN ITCHING HEADACHE ACIDITY AND POOR DIGESTION THIS INDICATES PREDOMINANT PITTA DOSHA WITH AAMA AND ASSOCIATED VATA DISTURBANCE WHEN PITTA BECOMES EXCESS AND DIGESTIVE FIRE IS IRREGULAR IT CREATES TOXIC HEAT IN THE BODY THIS HEAT MOVES UPWARD CAUSING HEADACHE HEAVINESS BURNING SENSATION AND ALSO MANIFESTS ON SKIN AS ITCHING THAT IS WHY WHEN GELUSIL IS TAKEN HEADACHE REDUCES BECAUSE ACIDITY IS TEMPORARILY NEUTRALISED

THE OVARIAN TORSION AND SURGERY WAS AN ACUTE EVENT AND ITS REMOVAL WAS NECESSARY BUT THE ORIGINAL DOSHA IMBALANCE WAS PRESENT EVEN BEFORE SURGERY AND THAT IS WHY SYMPTOMS CONTINUED AFTER SURGERY SURGERY ALSO AGGRAVATES VATA AND PITTA WHICH CAN WORSEN HEADACHE ACIDITY AND DIGESTION IF NOT PACIFIED

COMING TO CURRENT MEDICINES MAHA MANJISTADI KWATH AND KADIRARISHTA ARE CORRECT FOR SKIN ITCHING AND BLOOD PURIFICATION THAT IS WHY ITCHING REDUCED HOWEVER BOTH MEDICINES ARE USHNA IN NATURE AND WHEN PITTA IS ALREADY HIGH THEY CAN IN SOME PEOPLE CAUSE HEADACHE HEAVINESS AND ACIDITY AFTER SOME DAYS THIS DOES NOT MEAN THE MEDICINE IS WRONG BUT THE DOSE AND ANUPANA NEED ADJUSTMENT

YES THE MEDICINE CAN AND SHOULD BE DILUTED MORE TAKE ONLY TEN ML MAHA MANJISTADI KWATH PLUS TEN ML KADIRARISHTA MIXED WITH SIXTY ML WATER TWICE DAILY AFTER FOOD ALSO AVOID TAKING BOTH TOGETHER CONTINUOUSLY FOR LONG WITHOUT PITTA BALANCING SUPPORT

TO CONTROL HEADACHE AND ACIDITY ADD KAMDUDHA RAS PLAIN ONE TABLET TWICE DAILY AFTER FOOD AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA HALF TEASPOON AT NIGHT WITH WARM WATER

FOR DIGESTION AND AAMA CLEARANCE HINGVASHTAK CHURNA A PINCH WITH FIRST BITE OF LUNCH ONLY

DIET IS VERY IMPORTANT AVOID SPICY FRIED SOUR FERMENTED FOOD TEA COFFEE BAKERY ITEMS AND LATE NIGHT MEALS PREFER SOFT WARM SIMPLE FOOD RICE MOONG DAL VEGETABLES GHEE DRINK WARM WATER SIP BY SIP THROUGH THE DAY

INVESTIGATIONS ADVISED TO UNDERSTAND ROOT CAUSE INCLUDE COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT LIVER FUNCTION TEST ESR CRP THYROID PROFILE STOOL ROUTINE EXAMINATION AND ULTRASOUND ABDOMEN IF NOT DONE AFTER SURGERY

ONCE PITTA IS BALANCED AND DIGESTION IMPROVES HEADACHE WILL REDUCE ACIDITY WILL SETTLE AND SKIN ITCHING WILL NOT RETURN THIS IS A CORRECTABLE DOSHA IMBALANCE AND NOT A SERIOUS CONDITION WHEN MANAGED PROPERLY WITH RIGHT DOSE DIET AND PATIENCE

Hello Priya, Thanks for sharing your situation so openly. I can see how frustrating it must be to deal with constant itching, headaches, and acidity for so long, especially after surgery.

AYURVEDIC UNDERSTANDING

- Pitta–Kapha imbalance - Amlapitta (chronic acidity) - Rasa–Rakta dushti (impure blood that causes itching) - Urdhwaga Amlapitta (acid rising upwards, which leads to headaches and heaviness)

Here’s the connection:

when you take Gelusil and your headache eases up, it’s not just random. The acid pressure in your stomach and chest drops, so the headache fades too. Basically, your headache is coming from your stomach, not your head. People miss this all the time, but it’s a common link.

Why did your headache get worse after trying Manjishta and Khadir?

Both Maha Manjisthadi Kwath and Khadirarishta help clear Pitta and purify blood, but they’re also a bit heating and fire up digestion. If your stomach is already sensitive, they can trigger acidity, heaviness, and headaches. So yes, your body is reacting to too much Pitta stimulation.

Should you dilute the medicine?

Definitely. Here’s how: - Take 10 ml of the medicine, mix it with 50–60 ml water. - Have it just once a day at night, for 7 days. That should help cut down the headaches.

So what’s actually causing all this?

It’s not your ovaries, and surgery didn’t start it. The root issue is chronic amlapitta (acidity) and Pitta in your blood.

Here’s what you should do:

Step 1 First, get the acidity under control. That’s the top priority. For the next 15 days: - Avipattikar Churna ½ tsp twice a day after food - Kamdudha Ras (plain) 1 tablet twice a day - Shatavari churna 3g at night with warm milk

Step 2 Once the acidity settles, slowly bring back the skin medicines: - Maha Manjisthadi kwath once daily - Khadirarishta once daily

Diet is just as important. Strictly avoid: - Spicy food - Tea and coffee - Sour fruits - Fried stuff - Late-night meals

Eat more of: - Rice and moong dal - Coconut water - Pomegranate - A small amount of ghee - Buttermilk (only during the day)

Why is your body so reactive now? It’s a mix of long-term acidity, stress, hormonal shifts after your ovary removal, and dominant Pitta. That’s why you notice such strong reactions to medicines.

When will you start to feel better? Stick to this plan, and you’ll likely see your headaches drop in 5–7 days. Acidity should calm down in about 10 days. The skin itching should also stay under control.

your headaches come from your stomach, not your nerves. When you balance Pitta, all three problems itching, headache, and acidity settle down together.

Take care, Dr. Snehal Vidhate

Reduce dose immediately to avoid worsening: Maha Manjisthadi Kwath: 10 ml + 50 ml water morning only Kadirarishta: 10 ml + 50 ml water night only Or stop both for 5–7 days if headache is severe then observe

Dilute more, use 60–80 ml water instead of 30 ml per dose (makes it lighter on stomach)

Add these medications to balance & relieve 1 Kamadhudha Ras (plain) – 250 mg morning + night with cold water 2 Sutshekhar Ras (plain) – 1 tablet morning + night after food 3 Avipattikar Churna – 3 gm + cold water at bedtime

Diet Only moong khichdi + little ghee, boiled pumpkin/lauki, pomegranate, thin buttermilk + roasted jeera Avoid completely: spicy/sour, fried, garlic/onion, tomato, heavy pulses, cold drinks, junk

Daily Vajrasana 10 min after meals Sip warm water + roasted cumin/fennel all day Dinner before 7 PM

If headache worsens or new symptoms then stop herbs & see gastroenterologist (rule out gastritis/ulcer post-surgery).

HELLO,

What is actually happening in your body? Your main problem is not skin, not head, and not ovary.
The root problem is weak digestion and excess body heat. When digestion is weak for a long time: -Food is not digested properly -This produces toxic waste (Ama) -Ama mixes with excess heat (Pitta) -This mixture spreads through blood

This causes: -Skin itching (impure blood + heat) -Acidity (excess digestive acid) -Headache & heaviness (acid + gas pressure moving upward)

That is why: -Your headache reduces immediately after Gelusil -Skin itching improved when blood-purifying medicines were started So this is one single disease process showing in three places.

WHY HEADACHE COMES FROM STOMACH —>Many people think headache is a brain problem.
In your case it is stomach-origin headache.

When acidity and gas increase: -Pressure forms in stomach and intestine -This irritates nerves connected to head -Acid fumes and gas move upward -Result → heaviness, tightness, dull headache

That is why: -No trigger like light, sound -No vomiting -Relief comes after antacid This confirms Amlapitta-janya Shirashoola (acidity-related headache).

ROLE OF SURGERY (OVARIAN TORSION) The ovary problem was separate.
But surgery causes: -Stress to body -Temporary digestive weakness -Increased body heat So it worsened existing imbalance, but did not create it.

TREATMENT GOALS

Goal 1 – Correct digestion Without this, itching will always return. Goal 2 – Reduce excess heat & acidity Goal 3 – Purify blood safely (without increasing acid) Goal 4 – Prevent upward movement of gas (headache)

INTERNAL MEDICINES

1) Maha Manjishtadi Kwath= 15ml + half glass with warm water after meals for 8 weeks =Cleans blood, Reduces skin itching, Removes heat toxins Why needed=Your itching improved → proves it is working.

2)Khadirarishta= 15ml with equal water only after dinner for 10 days =Strong blood purifier, Anti-itch
It is fermented → acidic → can worsen headache. If headache increases:
→ Stop for 7–10 days

Why headache increased after medicines? Because -Blood was cleaning -Heat temporarily increased -Weak digestion couldn’t handle it This means dose & dilution matter more than adding new medicines.

EXTERNAL APPLICATION For itching relief & heat removal -Neem oil or coconut oil -Apply thin layer after bath -Avoid very hot water

If itching returns at night: -Apply cooling oil to soles & scalp

YOGA & PRANAYAMA

YOGA ASANAS -Pawanmuktasana -Vajrasana (after meals 5–10 min) -Shashankasana -Mild walking

Pranayama -Sheetali / Sheetkari -Anulom Vilom

Avoid: -Kapalbhati -Bhastrika -Excess heat-producing practices

DIET -Rice -Moong dal -Bottle gourd -Ash gourd -Lauki juice (if tolerated) -Coconut water (daytime)

Avoid completely -Spicy food -Fried food -Sour food -Tea / coffee -Bakery items -Fermented food at night

Key rules: -Eat warm food -Eat on time -Stop before full stomach -No late dinner

HOME REMEDIES -Coriander seed water (soaked overnight, boiled, cooled) -Amla water (small quantity) -Coconut water -Cold milk at night (if digestion allows) Avoid random home remedies without guidance.

EXPECTED RECOVERY TIMELINE Acidity & headache= 1-2 weeks Skin itching= 3-6 weeks -digestion= 1-2 months

Chronic problems heal slowly but permanently if digestion is corrected.

FINAL IMPORTANT ADVICE =-o NOT change medicines frequently -Do NOT self-increase dose -Do NOT ignore digestion -Patience is key

Your body is responding, not worsening. This condition is: -Notdangerous -Not incurable -Not lifelong It needs: -Correct digestion -Cooling approach -Consistency You are already on the right path. DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU
