What is Migraine?
Migraine is more than just a headache. Itβs a complex neurovascular condition
typically
involving throbbing pain on one side of the head, which can last from a few
hours
to several days.
In Ayurveda, migraine is correlated with βSuryavartaβ, a type of
Shirashoola
(headache) caused primarily by an imbalance of Pitta and Vata doshas.
β οΈ Common Causes of Migraine
- Stress and emotional strain
- Irregular eating habits or fasting
- Pitta-aggravating foods (spicy, sour, fermented)
- Sleep disturbances or lack of rest
- Exposure to loud sounds or bright lights
- Hormonal changes (in women)
- Excessive screen time or mental overexertion
- Constipation or indigestion
π Symptoms of Migraine
- Severe throbbing or pulsating pain (usually on one side)
- Nausea or vomiting
- Aura β visual disturbances, flashing lights, or blind spots (in some cases)
- Sensitivity to light, sound, or smell
- Pain worsens with movement or physical activity
- Fatigue or irritability before or after the attack
- Scalp tenderness
π¬ Investigations & Diagnosis
At Dr. Garje Ayurved Panchakarma Clinic, we focus on both
Ayurvedic and
modern approaches:
- Nadi Pariksha (Pulse Diagnosis)
- Detailed dosha evaluation
- Diet, lifestyle, and mental health assessment
- Neurological exam
- MRI or CT scan (only if needed to rule out other brain conditions)
- Vision and sinus tests (to rule out secondary headache causes)
πΏ Ayurvedic Understanding of Migraine
(Suryavarta)
In Ayurveda, Suryavarta literally means βpain that increases with the rising sun.β It is
typically
Pitta-dominant, aggravated by heat, stress, and improper digestion (Agnimandya).
Root causes:
- Vitiation of Vata and Pitta dosha
- Accumulation of ama (toxins)
- Weak digestion and mental stress
- Obstruction in head channels (Sira Srotas)
