AYURVEDIC TREATMENT FOR MIGRAINE

Abstract

Living with migraine disease is a constant struggle , can be exhausting , frustrating and debilitating , this constant game of trial and error could completely flip the switch of your life , you feel as if you are in some kind of pain /pressure/brain fog/numbness all the time – perhaps some days it’s less than the others or on some days , you could make it out of bed , or some days , you could go on about your life and do errands managing to escape those triggers that may hamper it all over again. It becomes hard and annoying to live with this constant throbbing pain or in the fear of another attack disrupting your day to day activities leading to poor brain performance.

LET’S TALK MIGRAINE

A migraine is a  characteristic neurologic disease that involves a pulsing sensation or throbbing pain of the head with intensity varying from mild, moderate to severe along with nausea, vomiting or a sensitivity to light or sound with each attack that may range from days to months. A pre migraine may consist of flashes of lights, blind disturbances , difficulty in speaking or numbness in one side of the face (aura).

Migraine symptoms

Migraine can occur in childhood , or in adolescence or early adulthood and a typical migraine attack is identified by 4 stages/phases

  • Prodrome :- the set of symptoms that warns about an oncoming migraine headache , may commence 1 or 2 days prior to it . These may  include unexplained food cravings and fatigue , yawning , hyperactivity , depression ,stiffness of the neck etc .
  • Migraine with aura :- post to the prodrome stage , the migraine headache sets off with an aura whose characteristics are described later in the title – types of migraines.
  • Attack phase :-this is the most debilitating phase of migraine specified with severe pain accompanied with a pulsating headache , nausea , vomiting , sensitivity to respective triggers which may be sound or light , giddiness etc.
  • Postdrome phase :- there occurs a swap of the person’s emotions and mood varying from euphoria to a fatigued and apathetic condition , this phase  might be distinct in various individuals or absent .

Types of migraine

The migraine disease is classified into several types

1. MIGRAINE WITH AURA (COMPLICATED MIGRAINE)

This type of migraine is distinct with a bunch of sensory ,motor and speech signals -like  symptoms – hazy vision with blind spots ,numb/tingling skin, tinnitus, visuals of bright flashing dots , alteration of smell and taste etc which are uncannily similar to stroke or seizure and lasts about 10-60minutes setting off each migraine attack , fortunately these symptoms can be relieved.

2. MIGRAINE WITHOUT AURA(COMMON MIGRAINE)

Common migraine sets off without a warning phase, i.e. an aura , and is characterized only by a migraine attack.

3. MIGRAINE WITHOUT HEADACHE

A reverse type of migraine of the former, i.e. presence of an aura not followed by the headache and hence known as silent migraine or acephalgic migraine

4. CHRONIC MIGRAINE

Migraine lasting for 10-15 days per month with an alteration of the symptoms and severity of the pain . Other types of migraines include hemiplegic migraine, menstrual migraine , abdominal migraine , migraine with brainstem aura etc .

MIGRAINE AND AYURVEDA

Ayurveda is a holistic science that depends primarily upon 3 humours viz vata , pitta and kapha . A derangement in the triad is what is believed to be the causative for any abnormalities/ dysfunctional state of the body , and a synchronised working of the triad ensures a perfectly healthy body. An Ayurvedic approach to migraine comes under ardhavabedhaka( one sided pain ) intense and piercing in nature and has resulted from a vitiated vata and pitta dosha and poses a threat to the proper functioning of the nervous system . The maximum correlation can be attributed to ‘ardheshirsha vedhana’ . The whole literal meaning is pain in half of the head. Ayurveda believes in a comprehensive dietary and lifestyle regime and is tailored according to the imbalanced dosas

Some home remedies that might come in handy during episodic recurrences are

  • Ksheera ghrita : a blend of milk and ghee can work wonders with the migraine attacks being a rich reservoir of nutrients such as vitamin D , vitamin E , calcium , proteins etc works in a way of supporting a healthy nervous system and maintaining a neat metabolism.
  • Triphala churna:- a renowned classical ayurvedic composition of herbs such as hareetaki , bibhitaki and amalaki works best as a rejuvenative drug washing out and cleansing your body free of toxins , steer clear the respiratory passage of any blockages hence relieving the episodic attacks of migraine.
  • Dhoomapana and nasya:- medicated fume inhalation  and administering medicines through the nasal passage mends the stress , anxiety or any sort of mental difficulties , nasya is highly recommended therapy in migraines with proven relief .

NATURAL CARE FOR ASTHMA

How wonderful would that be if you could enjoy the winters without having to go breathless

Winters are the spectacle seasons of the year with white speckled creations all around us, it is just one breathless sight. For some people constantly troubled with lung disturbances, this season truly becomes breathless, for all the respiratory trouble that they have to  go through. One very common respiratory snag suffered by a major section of the society is  Asthma, an inflammatory disease of the lower respiratory tract. for some individuals asthma is just a minor nuisance while for the others it is a complex condition that hampers their day-to-day chores. Asthma is comprehended as a manageable disease with due course of time with modern medications. 

Let’s take a deeper peek

As it becomes an inflammatory condition affecting daily activities, it is important to know the basic respiration to understand the method of manifestation of the disease. Normally while we inhale, the air goes through the nose down the mouth to the throat and finally to the lungs, this pathway has minute airways that help to deliver oxygen to the entire body at the same time. In asthma these minute airways are seen as narrowed with swelling creating tighter pathways for the air to move down. Phlegm or common mucus then fills up the areas, further diminishing the air entering into the lungs.

How do we understand its presence

The signs do vary from individual to individual yet, Wheezing, squeaking or whistling sound while breathing is the most common sign of asthma seen across various age groups. Coughing especially at night, while lying down or while doing activities is yet another common sign. Other symptoms include tightness in the chest, shortness of breath, difficulty while talking, fatigue, and cough attacks worse in the presence of a respiratory pathogen like cold or flu. If you suffer from these signs and they do worsen with time with decred intervals between two episodes, it is vital that you get a respiratory check soon. 

Systemic involvement and managements

Asthma can occur due to a few major reasons. Allergen induced asthma, occupational asthma and finally exercise induced asthma. Exercise induced asthma is the most common and is affected by climatic changes. Allergen induced asthma is due to an allergic trigger which may be a food or inorganic object like pollen, even the smell of certain substances. Finding a method to stay away from them is the best method of management as well. Occupational asthma is triggered by the place of work of an individual which may be fumes, dust particles, organic substances, etc. Some researchers believe that the fourth variety of asthma is due to GERD or other abdominal disturbances. The general treatment method adopted include breathing exercises, long term oral medications and often oro-nasal medication mists are preferred.

Understanding  Breathing Disorders In Ayurveda

The age-old science of ayurveda understands and comprehends the etiopathogenesis of a condition with the doshic predominance prevailing in the individual and in the disease corresponding to the seasonal fluctuations. Ayurveda terms all breathing disorders under the umbrella term Swasa. Among the different varieties of breathing difficulties, Tamaka Swasa is the best concurrence with modern asthma. The condition is primarily due to vitiation of the Kapha entity.  The phlegm deposition on the narrowed airways can be understood as the surge in Kledaka type of Kapha entity seen as a result of entire compromised immunity or due to impoverished bodily entities. Ayurvedic folklore corresponds to this type of swasa as a result of past life deeds.

The classical and the most effective management of Tamaka Swasa is to manage the Kapha while introducing fiery herbs that can reduce the swelling. The treatment protocol initiates with optimising the Agni or the digestive fire, who’s disturbance is the origin for all flaws within the body, later the entities are normalised and finally the Ojas or the quantum of immunity is restored.
