Migraine
Ayurvedic Treatment for Migraine – Natural Relief for Chronic Headaches
Migraine is a neurological condition that causes recurring, intense headaches often accompanied by nausea, sensitivity to light, or sound. Ayurveda approaches migraine treatment by identifying internal imbalances, calming the nervous system, and correcting lifestyle triggers. At Herbal Hills Center, we offer personalized Ayurvedic treatment for migraine focused on long-term relief and prevention.
What Are the Main Causes of Migraine?
Migraine develops due to a combination of physical, mental, and lifestyle factors. Common causes include:
- Aggravated Pitta dosha causing heat and inflammation
- Disturbed Vata dosha affecting the nervous system
- Chronic stress, anxiety, and emotional strain
- Irregular sleep patterns and sleep deprivation
- Skipping meals or poor digestion
- Excess screen exposure and eye strain
- Hormonal fluctuations
- Sensitivity to certain foods or strong smells
Ayurveda treats migraine by addressing these root causes rather than suppressing pain.

Common signs and symptoms of migraine include:
- Throbbing or pulsating headache (often one-sided)
