All You Need to Know About Headache, Cluster Headache, and Migraine
At Dr Janugade’s Ayurvedic Panchakarma Treatment Centre, we understand the disturbing effects of headaches, migraines, and cluster headaches on one’s daily life. With our highly skilled Ayurvedic experts, we aim to provide effective Ayurvedic treatments for headaches, cluster headaches, migraines, and depression. We focus on identifying the root causes of these issues and provide a personalised treatment plan to all patients as per their existing health conditions and underlying imbalances, stress levels, lifestyle, and dosha imbalances. Our individualised treatment plans ensure long-term well-being.
Cluster headache and migraine both fall under the category of headache. However, there is a striking difference between all these. Let’s know about each one of them:
- Headache
The common causes of headache are stress, dehydration, fatigue, lack of sleep, poor posture, and eye strain. A typical headache causes mild to moderate pain. It may be felt on both sides of the head, forehead, or temples.
- Cluster headache
A cluster headache is more severe than a headache. This type of headache is intense and usually occurs in clusters or cycles. Each headache episode typically lasts between 15 minutes to 3 hours. The exact causes of cluster headache are not known, but this type of headache can be triggered by factors like alcohol, changes in sleeping patterns, or strong smells.
- Migraine
Caused by a neurological condition, a migraine can be described as an intense and throbbing headache often affecting one side of the head. In some cases, migraine is also accompanied by other symptoms, such as heightened sensitivity to light and smell, nausea, and vomiting. This complex condition can be triggered by stress, hormonal changes, and sleep disruptions.
In addition to the above-mentioned conditions, we also provide effective Ayurvedic treatment for depression at our panchakarma centre.
Ayurvedic Panchakarma Treatment for Headache, Cluster Headache, and Migraine
In Ayurveda, headaches, cluster headaches, and migraines are linked to the imbalance in the doshas. These conditions are usually caused due to the imbalance in the Pitta and Vata doshas. This dosha imbalance disrupts the normal functioning of the nervous system, which leads to pain and discomfort, leading to headaches of different kinds. Panchakarma therapies help in balancing these doshas and restore harmony and well-being.
Here are the Ayurvedic panchakarma therapies we use for the treatment of headache, cluster headache, and migraine:
- Abhyanga (Therapeutic oil massage)
Abhyanga is a full-body therapeutic oil massage that uses medicated oils. This therapy uses special massage techniques to enhance the body’s energy channels, improve blood circulation, and promote the removal of toxins. The oils used in this massage therapy help nourish the body and also induce a feeling of relaxation, which helps tackle headaches, migraines, and cluster headaches.
Abhyanga not only relaxes the muscle tension but also helps in reducing stress. This is also one of the Ayurvedic treatments for depression.
- Nasya
In this treatment, herbal oils or their concoctions are administered through the nasal passages, providing relief from headaches, migraines, and cluster headaches. This Ayurvedic treatment helps in clearing the accumulated toxins from the head region, which leads to improved respiratory health. Nasya also promotes deep relaxation, and that helps in curing headaches, cluster headaches, and migraines.
- Shirodhara
In this therapy, warm herbal oil is poured in a steady stream on the patient’s forehead, inducing a deeply relaxed state. This therapy helps in soothing the mind, reducing tension, and balancing the doshas. Shirodhara is known to be highly beneficial for migraines and stress-induced headaches.
- Shiro Abhyanga (Therapeutic head massage)
Shiro Abhyanga is a head, neck, and shoulder massage that uses warm herbal oils to improve circulation and reduce muscle tension. This massage helps in treating headaches caused by stress, muscle tension, and mental exhaustion. By improving blood flow and soothing the scalp and neck muscles, it brings immediate relief.
Depending on the patient’s condition and health, we use one of these panchakarma therapies or a combination of two or more therapies for the Ayurvedic treatment of headaches, cluster headaches, depression, and migraines.
