RE: relief from headaches

[Guest guest]

Dear Saurabhrsvgs,

 

I appreciate the other comments that have already been made on this subject,

and I will just offer some general information.

 

First, if you are getting headaches repeatedly, better look for the

underlying cause rather than just quick relief.

 

Here are some general doshic tendencies and recommendations, and you'll want

to adopt balancing diet, eating habits, and routines accordingly:

 

1) Kapha: sinus headaches due to excess mucous. Try ginger paste applied to

the forehead and sinuses for quick relief. Alternately, a little snort of

calamus (vacha) into the sinuses can break up congestion. Internally,

trikatu with honey can be taken.

 

2) Pitta: temporal headaches due to excess heat. Use sandalwood or

peppermint oil on the temples. Avipattikar is a good for relieving heat in

the digestion. There are also many formulas made of bitter herbs that will

relieve heat in the blood and liver (i.e. mahasudarshan).

 

3) Vata: occipital headaches due to toxins in the colon / constipation. Use

ginger paste behind the ears and take a laxative such as psyllium or

triphala.

 

If you don't have a source for these herbs, check out Bazaar of India. There

herbs are organic and non-heavy metal tested:
