🌿 Migraine (Ardhavabhedaka)

Specialized and Customized Ayurvedic Care at Yogakshema Ayurveda Hospital

🧾 Introduction

Migraine, referred to as Ardhavabhedaka in Ayurveda, is a chronic and often debilitating neurological condition characterized by recurrent, severe, one-sided headaches. It is frequently accompanied by nausea, sensitivity to light or sound, and visual disturbances.

At Yogakshema Ayurveda Hospital, we provide individualized, holistic treatment protocols rooted in Ayurvedic wisdom, complemented with Agni Karma, yoga, and meditation, ensuring long-term relief and enhanced quality of life.

• Pitta Prakopa: Nausea, vomiting, photophobia (light sensitivity)

• Kapha Prakopa: Heaviness, congestion, dullness

• Manovaha Srotas Dushti: Disruption of mental channels, leading to stress-induced migraines

🚨 Common Signs and Symptoms

• One-sided throbbing or pulsating headache

• Sensitivity to light, sound, or smell
