Ayurvedic remedy for migraines

According to Ayurveda, Migraine is a tridosha disorder. It is essentially caused by Vata and pitta dosha. Those with a Vata constitution are likely to suffer from migraines. In fact, it is the imbalance of Vata, which controls the nervous system and brain activity, that causes the disease. Vata imbalance mainly occurs due to improper metabolism, mental and physical stress, menstrual cycles, insomnia, hunger, barometric changes, toxicity in the body and excessive computer use. “Pitta” causes dilation of the blood vessels, which could also result in the onset of a migraine attack.
