Migraine / Arthavabhedaka

Migraine:

Migraine is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent moderate to severe headache often in association with a number of autonomic nervous system symptoms.

Typically the headache affects one half of the head, pain is pulsating in nature, and lasts from 2 to 48 hours. Associated symptoms may include nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light, sound or smell. The pain is generally made worse by the physical activities.

Migraine is believed to be due to a mixture of environment and genetic factors. About two third of cases run in families. Even changing hormone levels may also play a role in this.

The exact mechanism of migraine are not known, However a number if psychological conditions are associated, including depression and anxiety, it also believed to be a neuro-vascular disorder. The primary theory is related to increased excitability of cerebral cortex and abnormal control of pain neurons in the trigeminal nucleus of the brain stem.

For migraine some triggering factors are also there like stress, hunger, and fatigue (these factors equally contributes to tension headache.) Psychological stress has also been reported as a factor by 50% to 80% of people. Migraine has also been associated with post-traumatic stress disorder and abuse. Migraine is more likely to occur around menstruation. Other hormonal influences, such as menarche, oral contraceptives use, pregnancy,(Migraine typically do not occur during the second and third trimesters.) pre-menopause and menopause(Even after menopause it usually will not occur.) also play a vital role.

For the treatment of Migraine
There are three main aspects of treatment

• Avoid trigger,
• Acute symptomatic control and 
• pharmacological prevention. 

Medication are more effective if used earlier in an attack. The frequent use of medications may result in medication overuse headache, in which the headaches become severe and more frequent. This may occur with triptans, ergotamines and analgesics, especially narcotic analgesics. Due to these concerns simple analgesics are recomended to be used less than three days per week at most. 

Long term prognosis in people with migraines is variable. Most people with migraines have periods of lost productivity due to their disease, however typically the condition is fairly benign and is not associated with an increased risk of death.

Arthavabhedaka:

According to Ayurveda Arthavabhedaka is when VATA dosa becomes kupita because of improper diet or improper life style and when it is association with the KAPHA dosa and settled in Shiras bhaga (Head region) it may cause the arthavabhedaka roga (Diseases).

Now aggravated VATA and KAPHA dosa, will cause severe pain in the half part of the head and it will also cause severe pain in facial region, ear, eyes, and half of the forehead. Pain will be severe and its pricking type.

In this according to Ayurveda, there is no psychological, or even environmental reason explained. But if you go deep then as its mentioned in the beginning that Arthavabhedaka is because of improper diet and / or improper lifestyle so we can include that lifestyle may include environment reason. 

For the treatment of Arthavabhedaka, acharyas have clearly mentioned that, firstly one has to discontinue the reason which is responsible for the Arthavabhedaka, if you give the best medicine for the disease but the main cause of the disease is same then nothing will work on the disease and before starting the actual treatment one has to undergo for the NASYA karma firstly then only internal medication can be given.

Along with the medication certain dietary advised should be given which we are following in our clinic, If person is not ready to follow the diet then I kindly request you all, not to take such patient because if you take such patient then the actual disease wont be cured as you might have expected it, n moreover it will defame you.

Misconcept about Ayurveda

Ayurveda: What is it? 

आयुर्वेद प्रयोजन.

स्वथ्यस्य स्वास्थ्य रक्षणम्।आतुरस्य विकार प्रशमनम च॥

Ayurveda is for the people who want to preserve there health and to the one who want to get cured, Basic of Ayurveda is for the healthy individual as well and not just for the diseased one.

Now a days people know that its a medical science,but Ayurveda is not just a medical science its a way of life. Ayurveda teaches us how to live our life healthly. Now even W.H.O has also changed defination of the healthy individual, "Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not only merely absence of disease or infirmity."Health is no longer defined simply in physical term, as the absence of disease or disability, but now includes mental and social dimensions. This definition of healthy individual Ayurveda has described thousands of years before.

Now during this time people has some misconcept regarding Ayurveda, and even some of Ayurvedic practitioner also leading the people on wrong way, saying that Ayurvedic medicine has no expiry dates and even the worse that Ayurvedic medicine has no side effect.

Every one who studied Ayurveda knows some of the Ayurvedic medicine has its own self life period and during that time only the preparation will give the desirable result, and after that some medicine's efficacy will be reduced. But now a days to increase self life of any medicine some Ayurvedic companies add preservatives in it, eventhough because of preservatives life of medicine will be increased but then also it will not reach the level of freshly prepared medicine. Now again question come that if it is so then why to use such prepared medicine, answer for that is certain Ayurvedic plants gives there fruits or flowers in certain atmosphere and in certain seasons only, so for that if fresh medicine is not available one can use those prepared medicine, but in that one has to look for the expire date also, as because of preservatives medicines property will remain for certain time only. Now some of the Ayurvedic medicine retains there properties even after 10 years, like some BHASMA and AASAV ARISTAS. 

Now one more big misconcept about Ayurveda that it will not have any side effect, now for this I just want to in form you that some Ayurvedic medicines are banned in America and European countries as some Ayurvedic medicine contains heavy metal which is banned in those countries. Because if those metal's purification will not be proper then that can lead to certain major diseases as well. And some time patient will not be knowing that there disease is may be because of those medicine, and only certified Ayurvedic practitioner knows the duration to take such medicine. And to buy any of the medicine which contains metals always go for the standard company as they take proper care to purification on the mettle, even though it will be costly but to avoid side effects.

Now in recent time I came to know about one more Ayurvedic medicine's scandal, I just want to drow ur attention, Some Ayurvedic company use the powder of Allopathic medicine and directly give that to patient, patient might not be knowing about it, so be sure what ur purchasing and from whom you are purchasing, always see for the batch no, company licence no as well.

If you find any thing or if you have doubt just go for its lab investigation or report it to food and drug department. So that they can investigate properly.

Being Ayurvedic practitioner it is my duty to drow your attention towards such things.

Be healthy and safe. Enjoy you life.

"Happy New Year 2016"
