AYURVEDIC VIEW

According to Ayurveda cause of migraine is the aggravation of pitta dosha. There are various factors like our life style and improper eating habits leads to vitiation of pitta dosha. Imbalanced pitta dosha results in the impairment of digestion which causes the production of toxins (ama). These toxins get accumulated in the manovahi strotas (mind channels), become the cause of pain in migraine.

From the ayurvedic perspective to treat the migraine, there is need to pacify the aggravated pitta dosha.

According to Ayurveda, sensitive nervous system is responsible for lowering the ojas (energy) in the body. Ojas (energy) provides the strength to nervous system and over all body. So low ojas causes the problems like migraine.

So, to control these changes in the body, natural supplements are there – herbs, formulations prepared from them are very effective to control the problem of migraine.
