Service Description

Headaches, unfortunately, are a part of our lives. It is experienced by just about every one once in a while after a restless night or a hectic day at work. However, migraines do not fall into the category of your average, ordinary headaches. Instead, you will feel pulsating and recurrent headaches when you have a migraine attack, often accompanied by sensory disturbance and other neurological dysfunctions. Recognized as a chronic condition with episodic occurrences, migraine is a debilitating long-term health condition that 1 in 7 people live with. Migraine patients who do not respond to conventional therapy or are reluctant to take allopathic medications may opt for Ayurvedic. Unlike modern Western medicine’s one-size-fits-all approach to treating the symptoms, Ayurveda follows a holistic approach and treats the root cause by addressing each patient’s unique constitution and illness. The exact cause of migraine is unknown, but it is closely linked to genetic and environmental factors. According to Ayurveda, a blockage in the body’s energy channels manifests as a burning, searing pain – which can be associated with visual sensations and light sensitivity. Since Ayurveda focuses on treating root causes from within, the treatments focus on resolving the root cause by recommending an optimal mix of dietary changes, herbal remedies, and detoxification methods. Opening the body’s energy channels and healing the mind helps avoid migraine triggers, eliminating the symptoms and curing the illness. The treatment starts with the complete health assessment of the patient through comprehensive clinical consultation and physical examination. This would help doctor to formulate a personalized treatment and therapy according to the patient’s body type, psychological condition, life force, and more. What makes Ayurveda a better choice for migraine treatment is its emphasis on both prevention as well as cure. Moreover, this ancient practice of medicine not only focuses on improving the physical health but also the emotional and spiritual health of a person. Etiology and diagnosis play a crucial role in Ayurvedic consultation as it helps the practitioner to identify the root cause of migraine and provider a tailored treatment plan accordingly.
