Ayurveda and Headache Treatments

Ayurvedic headache treatments vary from dripping medicated oils on the head to consuming specific foods or herbs to massage. All these methods are found in ancient Vedic texts on Ayurveda.

Most of these texts are 5,000 years old and the therapies have been in use for centuries. Many accounts of almost miraculous healings are found throughout the ages including during our modern times.

Ayurvedic Headache Treatment

An illuminating piece of information on headaches is based on where pain is located, and indicates which system malfunction is causing the pain. Based on this information, the headache sufferer can then find an appropriate therapy to relieve the pain.

The location of pain on the head indicates a system such as stomach inflammation or cataract formation to mention just two system disorders which cause headache pain.

Ayurvedic Massage

Coupled with treating the actual cause of the headache from the chart, Ayurvedic Massage can also assist in eliminating a headache. The marma points in Ayurvedic Massage are junctures of five organic principles: ligaments, vessles, bones, joints and muscle. Vessles include lymph, nerves, arteries and veins. 

Through massage of these marma points, along with aromatherapy, relief from headache pain takes place. These points are mentioned in ancient texts as martial arts points which were well-known in Vedic culture. 

Ayurvedic Dosha

Ayurvedic also deals with different body constitutions termed dosha. Once the dosha is determined, then diet, exercise, even color of clothing to be worn and other information is available to promote health.

Ayurvedic Oil-dripping

A therapy termed Shirodhara treats numerous headache pains. It involves the use of medicated oils to the head and neck for relief of various diseases. There are other oil-dripping therapies as well with this being one of the most dramatic.

India has many clinics and hospitals devoted to Ayurveda and this science has moved across the world. America also has Ayurvedic clinics.
