Nutritional medicine/Depression/Migraines

[Guest guest]

Evening Primrose Oil and St John's Wort are very good for treating mild

depression and ladies' problems i.e. PMT, menopause, swings of mood, etc.

and I agree that St John's Wort doesn't do a thing for migraines.

 

Two questions come to mind:

 

1. Is it possible to see from a chart that a person is likely to be a

migraine sufferer, and what are the indicators?

 

2. Are there any Ayurvedic treatments for the relief, or cure, of

migraines?

 

Hope someone can answer that.

 

Namaste

Dany

dear friend,

i know very little but i do remember being told that

mercury in the navamsha of aries does cause some

migraine problem..do check it out with the experts.

and while on the topic of oils and herbs, i would like

to add my favourite ALOE VERA JUICE as a major miracle

healer.does wonders to the skin and digestive tract.

all the best and good luck

Namaste Raghu:

 

I'm just coming back from IBIZA , that's my first post in two

month . Let me add something more ,remember that what works today,it

may not work tomorrow, whatever approach to reduce Vata, is a

priority, So if you expect that there will be a magic formula to

combat deppression or whatever other Rogha, WRONG. Unfortunatly this

is the world of Maya and she knows how to trick the mind, then Vata

will find the way to manifest in any other way. In any case any

DIGESTIBLE oil will help, but only help not cure.

 

best wishes

 

Chai....
