Ayurvedic Perspective Links Frequent Headaches to Poor Digestive System, Offers Home Remedies

Headaches due to excessive work or stress are common. However, if you experience frequent headaches or a feeling of heaviness, it might be due to a weak digestive system. Whenever a headache occurs, we immediately take pain relievers. But this solution is only temporary. The real cause of the headache is a poor digestive system, not a problem related to the brain.

Frequent headaches are considered serious in Ayurveda. According to Ayurveda, the head and the digestive system are closely connected. It is also considered the best organ to signal that something is wrong in our body. Therefore, frequent headaches should never be ignored. Ayurveda believes that when the digestive system is disturbed, Vata, Pitta, and Kapha become imbalanced. This, in turn, affects the nerves of the brain. Sometimes it turns into gas, causing burning in the stomach and chest. Sometimes it results in constipation, making both the head and body feel heavy.

• How to Prevent?

First Method

So, what should be done to avoid this? For this, Ayurveda advises performing Nasya Kriya. In this, a few drops of oil are put into the nose, which reduces pressure on the brain and reduces imbalanced Pitta in the body.

Second Method

The second method is a mixture of coriander and sugar. Soak the mixture of coriander and sugar overnight and strain and drink it immediately upon waking up in the morning. This water helps relieve constipation. If the stomach is not cleaned properly, the mixture of coriander and sugar helps remove constipation and clean the stomach.

Third Method

The third and most effective method is a paste of dry ginger (Suthho). If you suffer from frequent headaches and are tired of taking medicine, applying a paste of dry ginger on your forehead will provide relief. Mix ginger powder with water and apply it to your forehead.
