Anxiety and Migraine - #6663

Sujeet Yadav

I'm headache all the time and get anxiety as well. Sometimes my stomach pains, gases issues and acidity problem. From the month of July to September I had 4 times loose stools. But from 15th September till now no episodes of loose motions. From the month of September I stopped eating outside food and ayurvedic medicines that I was taking. Before September I was on following: Tab Arjuna 1-1 ( 1 year) Tab HT Norm 1-1 (1 year) Tab Brahmi 1-1 (4-5 months) Tab Aswagandha 1-1 (1 month) Currently I'm on following Allopathy medicine: Blood Pressure Medicine: Met XL Trio 50 Uric Acid Medicine: Foxstat 40 mg For migraine doctor has suggested Tab Inderal F 10 I wanted to know Patanjali's Divya Medha Vati will help me in Migrain and Anxiety? Or any other medicine?

As an Ayurvedic practitioner, I would say that Patanjali’s Divya Medha Vati is primarily used to enhance memory, cognitive function, and manage stress, but it may offer some benefits for anxiety as well. However, for migraine and anxiety management, it is important to address the root cause and maintain a holistic approach. You might consider incorporating a balanced diet, regular lifestyle practices, and specific Ayurvedic herbs such as Ashwagandha or Brahmi, which can help reduce anxiety and support mental clarity. For migraine, Triphala, Shankhapushpi, and Jatamansi are known to help, but it’s best to consult a qualified Ayurvedic doctor to tailor a treatment that suits your individual needs.

I would say that Divya Medha Vati is a beneficial formulation that can support mental clarity, reduce anxiety, and help with cognitive function. It contains herbs like Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri), Vacha (Acorus calamus), and Shankhpushpi (Convolvulus pluricaulis), all of which are known for their calming effects on the mind and are traditionally used to support mental health. These herbs can also help in alleviating stress and anxiety, which may indirectly help in managing migraines triggered by tension or stress.

However, since you are already on medications like Inderal F 10 for migraines and Met XL Trio 50 for blood pressure, it’s important to approach any new treatment cautiously. Combining Ayurvedic remedies with allopathic treatments should be done under the supervision of your healthcare provider to avoid any potential interactions or side effects.

Additionally, from an Ayurvedic perspective, migraines are often linked to Vata and Pitta imbalances, with stress, poor digestion, or improper diet being contributing factors. Therefore, I would recommend incorporating a balanced diet, stress management practices like meditation, and regular sleep patterns to support your overall health.

For your anxiety, Brahmi is particularly beneficial in soothing the nervous system and promoting a calm mind, while Shankhpushpi helps in reducing mental stress and enhancing clarity. If you are experiencing digestive issues such as gas, acidity, and irregular stools, it may also be helpful to address these through digestive herbs like Triphala, Ajwain (carom seeds), and Cumin, which aid digestion and detoxify the body.

It is always wise to consult with your Ayurvedic practitioner before beginning any new treatments to ensure it is suitable for your unique constitution and condition.

Got it, you’re dealing with quite a bit there, huh? Constant headaches, anxiety, some stomach issues and all. That’s no fun. Given what you’ve shared, it sounds like you’re undergoing a lot of Pitta and Vata imbalances—classic culprits for migraines, anxiety, and digestive troubles.

First off, about the Divya Medha Vati, it got herbs specifically like Brahmi and Shankhapushpi that are traditionally used in Ayurveda to calm the mind and help with anxiety and focus, but always wise to consult with your current healthcare provider before adding something new—don’t want any reaction or interactions with things you’re already taking, okay?

The digestive issues seem tied to your lifestyle and diet; you’ve stopped outside food and saw improvement, which makes sense. That’s textbook Pitta imbalance, spicy, greasy food can make it worse. Stick to easily digestible, straightforward foods that aren’t gonna mess with your system—like overcooked rice, soft veggies, warm soups. These help calm the digestive fire and reduce acidity. Try to avoid too cold or raw foods, as they can exacerbate Vata.

Consider practicing Abhyanga, a gentle oil massage using warm sesame oil before a shower—it’ll ground your Vata and relieve tension. Routine is your friend here; consistent meal times, sleep time—it all helps your digestive and mental balance.

As for herbs, Ashwagandha is known for reducing stress and anxiety, and it works on balancing Vata; you’ve used it before, but I’d suggest adding Triphala at night. It’s gentle on the bowels, helps detox the body, and supports digestion.

You’re on allopathy, so be extra cautious about mixing systems. Integrative approaches can work, but it needs to be done carefully. Check with your doctors if introducing new herbs, esp. while on Inderal for migraines.

Remember, it’s a holistic process; lifestyle, diet, and herbal remedies can all support each other. Don’t rush, give changes some time to work. 🙂
