Ayurvedic Treatment for Migraine

Migraine is defined as a neurological condition that causes headaches which can be mild, moderate or severe in intensity. The pain in the facial region of the body is often persistent, lasting for an entire day or even longer displaying a characteristic throbbing, pulsating sensation on one side of the head.

Migraine headaches are very painful and can interfere with your daily life. They may come on suddenly without warning or be prompted by certain known triggers.

Migraines progress through four stages: prodrome, aura, attack and post-drome and every stage has different symptoms or signs.

In ayurveda, migraine is termed as “Ardhavabhedhaka” and is mainly caused due to an imbalance in the tridoshas, vata, pitta and kapha. This negatively influences the functioning of the nervous system, hampering memory, concentration and focus, in addition to diminishing eye health, irregular sleep cycles or insomnia and reduced productivity be it at work or home.

Ayurveda uses holistic treatments for curing migraine. Ayurveda treatment for migraine focuses on healing the problem from the root.
