Ayurveda offers a holistic approach to treating various types of headaches by addressing the underlying imbalances in the body’s doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha). For tension headaches, which are often linked to stress and muscle tension, Ayurveda recommends soothing treatments like warm oil massages using specially prepared Ayurvedic oils, to promote relaxation. Migraines, often associated with Pitta imbalances, can be treated with cooling therapies such as applying herbal paste to the forehead (Lepanam). For Migraine and sinus headaches, Ayurveda suggests Nasyam which one among the famous Panchakarma treatments. Nasyam includes herbal inhalation, specific nasal drops and massages on particular points. A personalized diet and lifestyle changes, including avoiding trigger foods and practicing pranayama and meditation, are also vital components of Ayurvedic treatment to promote long-term relief.
