Ayurvedic tradition has found that chronic conditions like headache and migraine are usually caused by a number of imbalances within the body’s physiology that has become deeply entrenched over an extended period of time. These imbalances are primarily attributed to a shift in the Vata principle. Vata controls the nervous system and brain activity and an imbalance can impede the bodies’ natural ability to heal itself, in turn making headaches a frequent and difficult to eradicate issue.
To effectively treat headaches you will work closely alongside one of our Ayurvedic doctors to diagnose exactly what is happening within your body. A variety of tools is often utilised to form a thorough diagnosis which then informs treatment. The treatment protocol will focus on:
- Stabilising the nervous system
- Reducing stress
- Cleansing the body of toxins
This four-pronged approach works beyond the surface systems to completely overhaul your health and well-being at a deeper level and may involve:
- Lifestyle modification
- Counselling
- Prescription of kitchen and medicinal herbal medicines
- Instruction in gentle yoga postures and breathing exercises
- Prescription of Ayurvedic rejuvenating massage and detoxing treatments
