Re: Suffer from headache

Headache is known as Shiro Roga in Ayurveda. Literally it means ‘disease of the head’. Headache is not a single type of disorder; but it is a name given to several problems of the head. There are 11 types of headache in Ayurveda. They can be caused due to a various number of causes. Some of them are:-
- Trauma

- Inflammation of the meninges

- Encephalitis

- Cerebral abscess

- Migraine

- Hypertension

- Cerebral hemorrhage

- Vasodilator drugs

- Alcohol hangover

Apart from these there are several other factors such as fevers, metabolic disorders and diseases of the eye, ear and nose which can cause headaches.

Though pain is predominantly vitiation of the vata dosha, vitiation of the pitta and kapha doshas can also cause headaches. The chief symptoms of the three different doshic types of headaches are:-

1. Vata type of Headache – The pain is intermittent, i.e. of a hammering type. There is constipation, insomnia and depression. These pains are compounded by mental tensions.

2. Pitta type of Headache – The pain is usually felt on half of the head. It is accompanied by a burning sensation and wateriness in the eyes. The person is generally scared of light.

(1) Useful Herbs in the Treatment of Headache

1. Betel (Piper betle)

The leaves of the betel have analgesic and cooling properties. When a paste of them is applied to the center of the headache, then immediate relief is obtained.

2. Bishop’s Weed (Trachyspermum ammi)

Bishop’s weed can keep severe headaches away. It is most effective in headaches that occur due to migraine. The fumes of the lighted bishop’s weed seeds are used for the treatment. These fumes are smoked or the seeds are sniffed directly.

3. Clove (Syzygium aromaticum)

The aroma of the clove has a headache-allaying effect. It can soothe the nerves and bring it back to a pacified state.

4. Garlic (Allium sativum)

Garlic has almost miraculous properties in relieving headaches, of whatever type they are. Their juice slowly permeates the head region and acts as a painkiller.

5. Ginger (Zingiber officinale)

Ginger has painkilling properties. Due to this property, it is used as an external application on the affected head region. This gives relief from the headache.

6. Henna (Lawsonia inermis)

Henna flowers have the capacity to reduce headaches if they are caused by excessive heat. The henna flowers are applied externally on the head with vinegar to get the desired results.

(2) Dietary Treatments for Headache

Sweet and mild tastes are better in relieving headaches than other tastes. When there is a headache, consuming a sweet preparation or even a spoonful of sugar helps.

Milk and ghee are also beneficial in headaches. Preferably, the milk of a cow should be warmed and had when there is a headache.

Rice is the preferred carbohydrate to be taken in times of headache. The water left after cooking the rice should be had when it is warm, with a dash of ghee added in it.

Spicy and fried foods must be avoided when there is a headache.

(3) Ayurvedic Treatment for Headache

Since there are many different types of headaches, there are different treatments for them in Ayurveda. Ayurveda does not treat all headaches with uniformity. The following are the different treatments prescribed:-

1. If the headache is of vata type, then Triphala choorna is first prescribed to clear the digestive system. Then Shirashooladivajra rasa must be taken, or Mahavata Vidhwansana rasa must be taken twice a day in dosages of 125 milligrams in warm water.

2. If the headache is of pitta type, then amalaki is prescribed, or Triphala which contains amalaki can also be given. Half a gram of Shatavari is to be taken twice a day for a month.

3. If the headache is of kapha type, then anu taila is applied first to clear the nostrils. Then medicines such as Shoola Gajakesari rasa are given in dosages of 125 milligrams thrice or four times a day.

(4) Home Medications

a. A paste of clove and salt crystals is prepared in milk. The main curative ingredient in this is salt, which, being hygroscopic, absorbs the fluids in the head and decreases the tension.

b. Early morning after waking up dab an apple with salt and eat it. After that, drink some warm water or milk. Continuing this for ten days will reduce the problem of continuous headaches.

c. Peel a piece of garlic. Put it in the mouth and chew it slightly. Let its juices spread around the mouth region and upwards into the head. Keep on chewing the garlic mildly and allow the juices to spread. Within some minutes the headache would disappear. This treatment works even for the most persistent of headaches.

d. For headaches that are caused due to common colds, drinking a decoction of coriander and sugar helps tremendously. One more method to clear common cold related headaches is to place both feet in warm water for about half an hour.

e. For headaches that are caused due to excessive gas in the stomach, drinking a glass of warm water with a fresh lemon squeezed in it brings the headache as well as the gas problem down.

f. Grind some cinnamon and make it into a paste with water. Apply this on the head. This reduces headaches.

g. Soak some almonds in water overnight. In the morning, grind them into a paste and warm them slightly in ghee. Mix this in water and drink. This helps in treating headaches that have been going on since a long time.

h. Drinking a glass of water in which jaggery has been mixed helps in reducing headaches.

Ginger is also one home treatment for headache because of its anti-inflammatory. It helps circulation and relaxes blood vessels. fresh ginger, lightly cooked or in the form of dried ginger powder helps relieve and prevent migraine attacks. Drink plenty of water. Proper hydration is also one home treatment for migraine. Sometimes headache starts from dehydration, so it is important to drink plenty of water. It is always advice to drink at least eight glasses of water per day.

The rare combination of asset with brains, the glorious conniver has bewitched Indian fashion to a different label. Her foray into French fashion has won uncountable accolades has added still another gold medal to her credentials by tasteful the primary Indian draughtsman to be invited to participate at the much awaited fashion soiree, The Debutant Ball held annually at Paris. Ascertain the intriguer herself in conversation with Stylekandy.com, Sober when not showing away, why did you plain at the Gitanjali Splendour Fashion fest in Dec 08 in Mumbai, on the verge of a year preceding the time when WIFW. Yeah…I did it, I felt that I should be got rid of before with it and this place proper did it. No strategies twisted the lifetime and for the present suited me and so did it. Your guide at WIFW was like a comeback boast after you, what preparations did you be subjected to to occasion it grand. I inclination never call my accompany at WIFW as my comeback disclose because I never disappeared from the Indian trend industry. I bear no clues why every one is naming it as my comeback show? Since my omnium gatherum was inspiring and loads of harsh work has gone in it, so beyond all the exhibit was spring presented and via Immortal's goodness it was a success. Bollywood incursion is regularly peripheral, how do you defend Abhay Deol walking the declivity with review of mulberry handbags, marc jacobs sophia bag, versace crocodile shoulder bag, burberry quilted diaper bag buy, vintage hermes bags.
He walked because he is a correct friend. But there definitely is no one like Abhay – he is so unheated, so himself, totally relaxed, adventurous, childlike and presents a hot India. There's no a man more wisely I could be undergoing brought. With the elevation and bulk that you are blessed with, why do not you look upon modelling your own clothes. On no account endlessly did that brooding cross my read someone the riot act…I always wanted to be the founder and may be not the presenter. My inclination was more toward machiavellian so…and any more, it's too late. What was the remembrances behind the shoot of Beri Mollycoddle collection? After my daughter's birth, I realized that in India kids along is at most constrained to ready-to-wear, so design of coming out with a score of extra debilitate dresses for the toddlers. You were the gold medal Asian conspirator to head the French the fad brand, Scherrer and now again you are the beginning Indian artist to represent India at The Debutant ball, Le Ball held annually at Paris. How was the trip like; chloe edith handbag, department stores that carry coach handbags, dolce and gabanna knockoff handbags, spring prada bag, vintage christian dior bags.
My creation always aims at presenting the Indian sensibility with a tone of modernity and urbaneness. I will be representing India and want form her look contemporary with some Indian touch. The solitary focus is to retain modernity but still showcasing the natural Indian fashion. Adishree will be presenting India in all its exaltation wearing a dramatic skirt and blouse. What is the form philosophy that you state while design? The craze is eternal. The roots of fashion suitable for deep into the yester years. Manufacture can conditions be projected on restricting it to clothes. in preference to it should complement each other beyond clothes to pulchritude, hair, footwear and other accessories. It reflects our persona, hence should be quite congenial and what you suppose in. How would you define the development of the Indian fashion labour in the over decade: ferragamo amanda handbag, jimmy choo maisie bowler bag, anya hindermarch bags, replcia balenciaga handbags, chanel fabric bag.
Today, the Indian fashion determination has undergone a metamorphosis. People within and outside the style industry has started bewitching it as a sedate profession. It has grown on a substantial enlarge and has achieved its awareness on the epidemic dais too earlier India hardly had any fashion schools, but today parents are also eyeing this as a respected finished and hence encouraging their kids. The fashion bodies are also playing a large lines, promoting emerging talents is a considerable struggle and on first-rate of it, maintaining a consistency is also barest pivotal. Do you about that the Indian mode dynamism cannot work according to the 6 months projection dead for now different from the extensive approach world? Indian dernier cri is specific to India and its seasonal cycles. We partake of a big summer and a awfully young while of winters…so positively, six month crag does not employ that articulately with the Indian the rage industry. Tomorrow's plans? Fitting for the circumstance being it's exclusive Le Ball at Paris, breather you choice outfit to identify hither as things ordain start coming up, wholesale valentino handbags, coach gucci handbags history, bottega veneta handbag knock offs, louis vuitton handbag catalog, fendi designer handbag.

Greetings
A regular routine of Yoga exercises, breathing techniques, meditation can help prevent headaches or reduce their severity. Yoga Exercises that stretch your muscles can release the tension that often causes headaches. Exercises that increase overall circulation and promote strength and balance are also helpful. Yoga therapy also helps to increase self-awareness, enabling you to address physical symptoms before they become severe.
