Migraines are intense, debilitating headaches often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. Traditional treatments can sometimes fall short, which is why our clinic focuses on holistic approaches that combine the best of Unani and Ayurvedic medicine with therapies like Hijama (cupping therapy) and Natool/Shirodhara.

Unani and Ayurvedic Medicine: Both Unani and Ayurvedic systems emphasize balancing the body's natural energies. Herbal remedies, dietary changes, and lifestyle modifications are tailored to each patient’s specific needs to alleviate migraine symptoms and prevent recurrence.

Hijama (Cupping Therapy): Hijama involves creating suction on the skin with cups to improve blood flow and remove toxins. This therapy can help relieve tension and reduce the frequency and severity of migraines by promoting relaxation and reducing stress.

Natool/Shirodhara: Natool/Shirodhara is an Ayurvedic therapy where warm, herbal oil is gently poured over the forehead. This treatment induces deep relaxation, calms the nervous system, and is particularly effective in reducing the stress and tension that contribute to migraines.

FAQ's

Migraine symptoms include throbbing or pulsating headaches, often on one side of the head, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound, and sometimes visual disturbances (aura).

Migraine triggers can vary widely among individuals but may include hormonal changes, certain foods (like aged cheeses or processed meats), environmental factors (such as strong odors or weather changes), stress, lack of sleep, and sensory stimuli (like bright lights or loud noises).

Diagnosis involves a thorough medical history review, neurological examination, and sometimes imaging tests (like MRI or CT scan) to rule out other possible causes of headaches and confirm the diagnosis of migraines.

Treatment options include acute medications (like triptans or NSAIDs) to relieve pain during a migraine attack, preventive medications to reduce the frequency and severity of migraines, lifestyle modifications (such as maintaining regular sleep patterns and managing stress), and alternative therapies (such as acupuncture or cognitive behavioral therapy).
