AYURVEDA PERSPECTIVE ON HEADACHE

If you are prone to headaches and want a natural source of relief, you’ve come to the right place.

While there are many types of headaches, Ayurveda teaches that most are symptomatic of an imbalance in the blood.

Let’s explore some common causes and review Ayurveda’s wisdom on sources of natural relief.

What Causes Headaches?

There are a variety of different causes of headaches, and each requires a different kind of remedy. For example:

Questions for Consideration

Each type of headache has its own causes, symptoms, and remedies. You may be able to find the root cause by examining your own experience, asking yourself these questions, and recording your findings in a journal for future reference:

Natural Headache Relief

Headache remedies vary by the cause. Here are some of the main ones.

Stress/Tension Headaches

Regular self-massage (abhyanga) with sesame oil will help reduce the tension, worry, and anxiety that are the source of this type of headache.

Heat / Sun Exposure

Cool the environment and your body. Refrigerant alterative foods and herbs can help cool down an overheated liver.

PMS / Menstrual Related

Chastetree (Vitex) and Black Cohosh (Actaea) are specific to PMS headaches. See more on PMS.

Dehydration Headaches

If headaches are due to dehydration, try an electrolyte balancing drink of warm water, a pinch of mineral salt, and a squeeze of lime before meals.

Sinus Headaches - Inflammation & Congestion

To reduce congestion headaches, first clear any accumulated mucus from the head and sinuses:

Toxicity Headaches

These headaches may be due to digestive toxins (ama) in the colon. Haritaki can help reduce toxic accumulation and relieve constipation. A gentle enema may also be effective as it cleanses and nourishes the colon, helping relieve excess Vata and tension.

Migraines

Migraines develop when there are high levels of ama (toxins) in the blood. They are generally associated with Pitta dosha and an overheated liver. See more about migraines.

Colic / Spasms of the Blood Vessels

Clear toxins in the blood by following toxicity headache notes above. Peppermint and chamomile are frequently used for relief from spasmodic headaches.

High Blood Pressure

With high blood pressure, it is critical to find the cause, in addition to reducing the pressure.

Balance Your Body with Diet, Herbs, & Lifestyles Having These Biocharacteristics

Everything you eat has an effect on your body, which Ayurveda categorizes in a simple and easy way, using biocharacteristics (gunas). Biocharacteristics are qualities (like cold and hot) that describe the effect a food or herb has on your body. Cooling foods like cucumber, decrease metabolism. Heating foods like chili pepper, stimulate your body and increase metabolism. For 'Headache', you should select foods with the following biocharacteristics. Individual results will vary, based on your body type and the root cause of your imbalance.

HOW TO ADDRESS ISSUES IN STAGE OF DISEASE #2

HEADACHE IS IN STAGE OF DISEASE #2 - AFFECTING BLOOD & EMOTIONS

Affecting Blood: Initially, imbalances are localized, often in the digestive tract. As an imbalance grows, it starts to affect your body systemically, via the blood. If you have symptoms in this category it means that your imbalances are starting to spread, have entered the bloodstream, and are now systemic. Pay particular attention to the biocharacteristics, tastes, and doshas out of balance systemically, so you know how to strengthen your body as a whole, and reduce physical stress on your organs. At this stage of imbalance you will begin to experience generalized discomfort, imbalanced emotions, and may develop sensitivities to temperature. It may take several weeks of strict adherence to a specific remedial diet to clear blood level imbalances. Blood cleansing herbs may reduce symptoms. A several day cleanse may shorten the recovery time. (See all disease stages on JB)

AVOID DIETS, LIFESTYLES & HERBS THAT AGGRAVATE THESE EFFECTS

According to Ayurveda, one or more of the following doshas and biocharacteristics may aggravate 'Headache'. If you have an excess of one of these doshas or biocharacteristics below, Ayurveda recommends reducing foods and lifestyle habits that aggravate them. Click on the biocharacteristic to learn what foods and lifestyle habits should be reduced.

Symptoms Tell A Story

The first step to healing is learning patterns from your symptoms. Symptoms are clues that reveal underlying imbalances. Symptoms show you where your body is weakened. Ultimately, all disease has a root in tissues too weak to defend itself. Ayurveda describes these patterns of weakness using doshas & biocharacteristics. If you notice a biocharacteristic or dosha appears next to many of your symptoms, it helps you establish a pattern that may be systemic.

HOW AYURVEDA WORKS

ARE YOU WONDERING HOW AYURVEDA CAN HELP YOU?

WHY IS AYURVEDA THE RIGHT SOLUTION?

Ayurveda strengthens the body while opposing disorders. It takes a holistic, systemic approach that looks at the whole body. Ayurveda shows how to interpret signs and symptoms of imbalance, and how to address them using diet, lifestyle adjustments, and herbs. It shows a person how to optimize their health on a continual basis. You can't take the doctor home with you, but you can take Ayurveda home with you. Ayurveda is the most advanced and easy to use home system for self healing.

HOW DOES AYURVEDA WORK?

Ayurveda starts by identifying your body type, which identifies certain tendencies in your body to get sick (as well as identifying your strengths). It uses body type to determine the likely root causes of your disorders. Next, Ayurveda analyzes the nature of your disorder. It fits all your signs and symptoms into a pattern, expressed as a combination of biocharacteristics (gunas). For example, you may have a heat disorder, a cold disorder, or an oily disorder, etc. This simple categorical approach shows you how to correct systemic imbalances and strengthen your body as a whole.

On Joyful Belly, we've created an extensive categorization of food so you can easily match food to your imbalanced biocharacteristics. By eating an optimal diet that balances your biocharacteristics, your whole body is strengthened and the conditions that created the disorder are removed. Once the root causes of the disease are removed, the disease lessens in strength or disappears altogether. Additional remedies - such as herbs and lifestyle practices - focused on the specific disorder, can greatly enhance your healing.
