Updated: Oct 10

If you're tired of battling frequent migraines and looking for alternatives to conventional medications, Ayurveda presents a holistic solution for easing migraine symptoms. By embracing Ayurvedic treatments, you can find relief from headaches and enhance your overall well-being through dosha balancing. Here are five tips to help you pacify Pitta.

1. Understanding Migraines in Ayurveda
Migraines, according to Ayurveda, are often linked to imbalances in the body's doshas - Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Understanding your unique dosha constitution can help tailor treatment approaches for effective relief.
Vata migraines are characterized by air and space elements, Pitta migraines by fire and water elements, and Kapha migraines by earth and water elements. Identifying your dominant dosha is crucial in determining the most suitable remedies. Migraines frequently involve more than one dosha imbalance.
2. Triphala: The Magic Herbal Formula
As an example, Triphala, a renowned Ayurvedic herbal formula made from three fruits, serves as a possible remedy for migraines. Known for its detoxifying properties, Triphala helps in balancing the doshas while improving digestion and relieving headaches.
3. Balancing Pitta with Cooling Herbs
Pitta imbalance often triggers intense migraines. Cooling herbs like Brahmi, Shatavari, and Shankhpushpi can help pacify excess Pitta and reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches. Brew a soothing tea using these herbs or opt for Ayurvedic supplements to cool down the fiery Pitta energy causing your migraines.
Please note: Saumya Ayurveda does not recommend using herbs as if they were over the counter or prescribed pharmaceuticals. An experienced Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner will create you a custom herbal formula, special nasya, and customized Ayurveda plan to support the whole you.
Herbs are not Ayurvedic because it comes from India. Nor it is necessarily balancing for you because it is organic. Herbs become Ayurvedic when used as part your customized Ayurveda plan which is carefully tailored for your constitution. An herb that is balancing to one person for a concern, may be imbalancing to another.
4. Nasya: Nasal Oil Therapy
Nasya, a traditional Ayurvedic therapy involving the administration of herbal oils through the nostrils, offers significant relief from migraines. Regular Nasya treatments help in clearing nasal passages, enhancing oxygen flow, and calming the nervous system.
Saumya Ayurveda, creates for each of it's clients, custom nasya oils.
5. Lifestyle Recommendations for Migraine Management
Apart from herbal remedies, incorporating lifestyle modifications can amplify the efficacy of Ayurvedic treatments for migraines. Ayurveda's healing trifecta consists of food as medicine, herbs, and Ayurveda lifestyle recommendations. Here are some general recommendations for migraine management:
Balanced Diet: Consume cooked, and easily digestible foods to support optimal digestion and prevent migraine triggers. Turn your food into medicine by learning how to eat correctly for you and not a one size fits all approach.
Yoga and Meditation: Engage in gentle yog-asanas and meditation practices to reduce stress, improve circulation, and calm the mind. Start benefit from our daily free guided practices. 7 Grounding Poses for Vata Keep Your Cool: Top Yoga Tips for Pitta Dosha

“I just completed a colonoscopy and my ulcerative proctitus was given a Mayo Clinic Score of 0, normal or inactive disease. THANK YOU!
I had trouble keeping weight on and had lost 10 pounds. No matter what I ate, I felt like something was missing. My family doctor said I had colitis. Also, my energy level was very low, and I was using medication almost daily for a skin condition that my dermatologist recommended. Add to this severe migraine headaches about every two weeks. Following Veena’s guidance, all of these conditions have been nearly eliminated!
I gained 10 pounds, and my energy level is now strong and stable. When I eat, I feel satisfied. My skin condition has stabilized, and the migraines have essentially disappeared. I’m very grateful to Veena for the wonderful results and the healthier quality of life we have attained together. Without reservation, I highly recommend Veena at Saumya Ayurveda.”
-Chris Schirber, Yoga Teacher, Minnesota
“I have suffered from chronic headaches and migraines for as long as I can remember. I had talked to multiple PCPs and specialists about these issues, had been prescribed a variety of medications that never really fixed the issue.
Veena promptly put together a plan of action. Right away I noticed a significant decrease in the number of headaches I was getting, and when I did get them, they were much less severe than they had been in the past.
This is certainly the headache treatment plan that I have seen the biggest benefit from, and I plan to continue my new regimen moving forward.
I am very thankful for Veena's knowledge and advice and would not hesitate to recommend her services to friends and family alike.” -Adrienne Sobering, Colorado
“I’ve struggled with terrible migraines and headaches for years. Veena developed a plan that quickly reduced them. She is knowledgeable, gracious, and a joy to be around. I’m so happy to have found her.”
