What is

Ayurvedic Treatment for Headache?

Headaches are one of the common problems which disrupt daily life and cause pain, discomfort, and sometimes frustration. They occur for many reasons, and knowledge about the types and causes will help in finding the right solution. In recent years, more people are turning towards natural and holistic approaches like Ayurvedic treatment for headache to help promote relaxation and comfort.

Ayurveda focuses on restoring the balance of the three doshas (Vata, Pitta and Kapha), managing stress and supporting healthy circulation. Treatment is based on your individual constitution, lifestyle and the cause of your headaches.

Your treatment plan is determined after consultation with an Ayurvedic physician. Persistent, severe or unusual headaches require medical evaluation.

Headaches During Periods

Headaches are common during periods due to hormonal fluctuations. Ayurveda suggests remedies that help balance these changes and ease discomfort.

Headache & Toothache

A tooth infection or dental problem can cause pain that radiates into the head, leading to tension headache and even migraine. Dental problems should also be checked by a dentist.
