This kind of headache after taking neem capsules usually happens due to excess pitta reduction or sudden detox effect, neem is very cooling and strong in nature, so in some people it can create imbalance if not suited or taken in higher dose since you are getting headache every time, it means your body is not tolerating it well in current form it is better not to continue the same neem capsule daily, you can either reduce the dose or stop it for some time medicines you can take gandhak rasayan 1 tablet twice daily sarivadyasava 10–15 ml with equal water after meals for acne, instead of strong detox, focus on gentle pitta balance and skin support avoid spicy, oily, junk food and include more cooling foods like fruits, cucumber, coconut water drink enough water and maintain proper sleep if needed, neem can be reintroduced later in smaller dose or different form, but for now better to pause Heartful pranams Dr Raghuveer SN (Ayurvedacharya)
