Strong sunlight aggravates Pitta, triggering headaches. Cover your head and wear a hat when going out in the sun. ●Nasal Therapy For headaches, instill 5 drops of warm Brahmi ghee in each nostril. This calms the nerves and reduces pain. ●Herbal Tea to Calm the Mind Herbal Tea to Balance the Emotions Chamomile + Tulsi + Rose has a soothing and calming effect on both the mind and body.
