Sushruta Samhita - Headaches & Migraines (Shiroroga)

ॐSanskrit Text

शिरोरोगे नस्यं ब्राह्मी तैलेन।

✦English Translation

For headaches and migraines: apply Brahmi oil to the scalp, practice Nasya (nasal drops) with Anu Taila. For immediate relief: apply sandalwood paste to forehead, inhale peppermint. Identify triggers - often Pitta aggravation from heat, anger, or skipping meals. Cooling pranayama (Sheetali) helps. Avoid direct sun and excessive screen time.
