Migraine, known as Ardhavabhedaka in Ayurveda, is a neurological condition characterized by recurrent headaches, often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light or sound. Unlike regular headaches, migraines can be debilitating and affect daily life. At Kulathinmel Ayurveda, Kerala, we provide holistic Ayurvedic treatment that addresses the root cause of migraines by balancing doshas, detoxifying the body, and calming the nervous system.

Causes of Migraine in Ayurveda

According to Ayurvedic texts, migraines are caused primarily by an imbalance in Vata and Pitta doshas, leading to disturbed blood circulation, digestive issues, and mental stress. Common triggers include:

  • Irregular eating habits and indigestion

  • Excessive stress, anxiety, and lack of sleep

  • Overexposure to bright light or loud sounds

  • Hormonal changes

  • Excessive intake of spicy, sour, or fermented foods

  • Suppression of natural urges (Vegadharana)


Symptoms of Migraine (Ardhavabhedaka)

  • Intense throbbing or pulsating headache, often on one side

  • Nausea and vomiting

  • Sensitivity to light and sound

  • Blurred vision or aura before headache

  • Irritability and fatigue
