Headache / Migrane

“This constant pressure in my head is excruciating.” “I can’t concentrate anymore.” “This pain takes away my zest for life.”

This or a similar experience is what people report of their frequently occurring pain.

In this situation, a person has difficulty thinking clearly for hours on end. Each kind of headache has an agonizing effect on one’s life. Tension headache is experienced as a pulling upwards from the neck to the head. A stabbing pain can occur in the temples or in the forehead. Tension in the shoulder and neck area is often a concurrent symptom. A migraine headache is capable of confining people to their bed with excruciating pain, mostly on one side of the head and is often accompanied by sensitivity to light, nausea or even vomiting. Taking a pill is often inescapable.

What is the Vedic medicine point of view on headache and migraine?

Metabolic residues develop continuously due to improper lifestyle. In the case of headache, toxins (in Ayurveda called “Ama”) accumulate in the shoulder and neck or brain area. In the case of tension headaches, small vessels cause cramps in the brain, and in the case of migraines, even inflammation. Very often stress causes the symptoms or increases them. After enjoying chocolate, red wine or cheese, migraines may result.

In Ayurveda every patient is different and so each kind of headache must be treated differently. The Ayurvedic approach at our Centre is holistic.

Vedic medicine offers different methods of treatment. After an in-depth medical diagnosis at our Centre, a comprehensive treatment plan is individually tailored for each patient who complains of a headache.

They recognize that healing must take place on all levels. An emphasis on elimination of toxins as well as balancing of the nervous system can be recommended. It is important to activate all natural regulatory principles. Nutritional recommendations and helpful meditation and breathing exercises, as well as specific herbal mixtures tailored according to your needs, support a health-conscious lifestyle. In this way, your natural self-healing abilities can re-establish a clear head, free from pain.
