Next topic of discussion:  Management of shirahshul (headache)....by #Ayurveda of any type.
Ayulink: First we start with acute condition.  Do we have any instant pain reliever? Like modern medicine?  Please share practical tips for shirahshul and let everybody know, how fast and how effective it is.
USA Gary Yuen: Can we also discuss cause?
Dr Smita Pimpley : Pathyadhi  kwath - In acute conditions it has given good results.
Vd. Khyati Jariwala: In acute condition I m giving migrahills tab 2 BD+ shirshuaadivajra Ras 2 BD. It relieves pain pain instantly.
Dr. Lokesh Mehta: Shirashooladivajra ras  2 tab of Dhootpapeshwar along with 1 gm of godanti bhasam gives good result.
Exi Kir Moo: My family members use warm pure 'Ghee'. For getting relief from headache, we lay down straight, put some drops of this 'Ghee' in both nostrils and keep body in lay down condition for a few minutes.
Dr. monaliben: Cephagrain tablets & Cephagrain nasal drops of Charak pharma. Give good results. we got good results with cow ghee.
Shri Minoo parabia: I support this as anubhut in my family too. Pujya Bapalalji recommended gud-sunthi nasya. Act very well. Pitta shamak regimen combined with nasya gives results.
Dr. Samir Suneri: As per my view We can use suchibhed {puncture by suchi} it's good results. We can use insulin needle and 5 to 10 stroke over the pain area. It's give instant results. Some time pt have sool due to increase of pitta at that time we can use pittasaman drug{pittasamak vati}.
Ayulink: I use combination of godanti bhasma and giloy satva - each 1 gram with water in acute condition. Usually it works in 30-40 min. But if needed can be repeated after every  hour till shirahshul subsides.
Vd. Akshata Swami: Godanti bhasma on shirashoola, how its action please anyone explain Pharmacology.
Dr Premsukh: Godanti bhasma 1gm before meal have good result.
Ayulink: According to my knowledge godanti is pitta- vata pacifier*. Also it works like anti-pyretic (like paracetamol). I use it in acute condition of fever too - same dose and same method. (*i may be wrong in this, but practically I have very good results).
Dr. Rinku Shah: I use godanti bhasma 1gm along with pathyadi kadha.
Dr.Prashant Pawar  Nasik: Godanti bhasma 1gm+1pedha(sweet pedha)- at morning.
Pathyadi kadha 10 to 14 ml morning-evening.
shirshooladi vajraras. plus goghrut nasya about 85 to 87%  patient gives response to this treatment.
Dr.Prashant Pawar : Some patient requires sadya virechan, along with agnikarma.
Vd. Kirti: Shirshul mei sunth+ karpur lep give instant relief My experience.
Dr. Sushant Patil: Kukumadi Ghrut : Nasya in  Shirshul gives best results
Dr. Manju Mishra: Tab  sumanta
Dr. J. T. Contractor: Headache means sleepless night & uncleared bowel, these result in headache in olden days we used to give a nice harmless laxative sonamukhi  Purgative before bed time next day no headache. This happens due to toxin(mal vish), which goes through blood to brain creating headache. But before this laxative process we used to apply dry zinger powder past on forehead specially right & left sides of the forehead where the veins carry the blood to brain, requesting all learned friends, pl avoid paracetamol as its untoward side effects on liver causes cirrhosis.
Dr. Jyoti Yagnik: Tab. Trifalavati 3 stat ; ajirnakantak 2 ; if pittadhikya-sutshekhar ras 2 & if kafadhikya -sudarshan ghanvati 2. After 1st dose ; This treatment continue for 2days.trifala bed time & other tablet 2bd or tds + diet control.
IPR Chhayaben: V used to keep paste prepared lots of salt n wheat flour on two sides of forehead. As salt have   characteristics of absorbing heat, it helps in reducing headache.
Dr. sarang Patil: Ela with Kadali(Banana) at brahma muhurta also works. 1 ela choorna with 1 riped banana at 4.30 to  5 o’ clock at morning should be taken.
Dr. J. T. Contractor: Instead taking powder zinger to make past please take zinger rhizome( full ) soaked in water every time & rub on stone ( ghasaro ) thus made fine past applied on forehead is more effective as penetration is faster
Vd.manasi Kulkarni: A patient of acute shirashul came to me,last week. Has taken pain killers, But no relief. I have done siravedh, Pathyadi kadha, Sutshekhar results within 1/2 hr. I think ,it is pittaj shirshul...
Dr.Prashant Pawar: How, when, which point siravedh is done?
Dr. Arvind Shahane: If there 'throbbing  pain ' Or pittaj shirahshul .Go for raktamokshan cubital vein or jugular vein. Choice of vein is painful side. Jugular vein raktamokshan is giving best result. For orally choice Suvarn sutshekhar matra no ghasaro.
Dr. Nitish Dubey: One of my patient of migraine. He is on medicines. Suddenly he comes with his mother who was anemic with hb 3.8% . I refer her for blood tansfusion and that person give 2 unit of blood. Now his problem of migraine is completely solve. No medication and completely fit. Can we correlate this event with raktamokshan.
Dr. Arvind Shahane: Yes blood donation is one type of raktamokshan.
Dr. Bhadresh Naik: Please don't relay on ready made prescription. First tray to understand the complaint of patients. Correlate with modern and arrived See differential diagnosis. Make arrived diagnosis Then make a plan of management.
Dr. Arvind Shahane: Differential diagnosis is compulsory -  
But instantly pain management also demanded.

Another lady pt with c/o sheershul with amlaodgar then I gave her 2 laghusutshekar  tab in next 1/2hour her pain subsided . In this case use laghusutshekhar by thinking that gairik will do the shoshan Kary and sunth of pachan.

-------------------------------- Ayulink 2 -----------------------------
Vd. Pritam Bharat Veer: For Shirshul I would suggest lep of Sunth+ Vacha+ kapur on forehead. Shul is the symptom of vaat so treat vaatprakop first. When vaat gets obstructed by pitta or kafa aggravate shool. So we have to give pitta or kaf shamak treatment along with it. So in my treatment vat vidwans+ kaf/pitta shamak chikitsa must be done.
Vd. Rahul Botadara: I use shirahsuladiras 3 tab+ laxmivilas 3tab+ sutsekhar 2tab. this combination gives good result in acute condition. this communication gives result like paracetamol.

Nasya in kaphaj and vata kaphaja acute headache is good but should be performed with all steps not only drops. Shirodhara in some pittaj condition is good. Even gud-haritaki is good in pitaj condition
Ayulink: Pl elaborate this. Which kind of sweet? Dose? When to give? How to give? And in how much time it works? We all have learnt in Ayurveda education that sweet is good for pittaj shirahshul. You should give your experience in real patient. Thnx.
Dr.Piyush Dodiwadiya: Particularly Jalebi is useful- 4/5 jalebi. Good result in morning hours. Otherwise anytime when acute attack. In known case of migraine we should use this.
Dr.Surjit Kaur: Kaamdudha rasa if pittaj shirashul.
Dr.Amal P Joseph: I use godanti bhasma with pathyadi kwath bd gives good result. 20ml of pathyadi kwath + 60ml of Luke warm water + 2 pinch of godanti bhasma at morning and evening 1 hr before food.

Dose can b 3-5 ml in single sitting . Similarly nasya with karpashthadi in sinus related headache cures the acuteness. Sometimes agnikarma in cervical area cures stiffness in head. That's from my experience.
Dr. Minakshi Kaundal: Godanti bhasm 125 mg bd with lukewarm water , Pathyadi kwath pravahi 20ml bd, Shirashuladi vajra ras 125 mg bd.
Dr.Rasika Deshmukh: I too give shirshuladrivajra ras 2tds, mouktik kamdudha 1tds,  pathyadi kwath 1tsp bd n shirodhara by jatamansi.

Duralabha+ trivrutha+ abhaya choorna( each 500 mg) + aragvadha ghan vati  - before meal with Luke warm water for dipan pachan and vatanuloman.. 3 . Dashamool kshirpak ( dashamool choorna boiled in milk) nasya will relieve instantly from shirshool .I have good experience with this.
Dr. Rahul Doke: 2 capsules of Narvi plus + 1 shirshuladi vajra Ras + 4 Kamdudha moutik + honey. Gives instant relief in 1 hour or so (Allopathic medicine) Phenargan tablet (25mg)  1 + 1 diclomol tablets + 1 omez-d capsule + warm water... Let patient sleep for 1 hour & headache subsides. Apply some roll-on ointment on forehead + give it to smell to patient.
Vd. Bharati  S. Deshmukh: Jaloka  works  very  nice  in pittaj headache. Urdhwa jatrugat vikar always consider  about  rakta  dosha dushti.

Vd. Jitu Hadiya: In paitik shirshool I do raktmokshna from jugular vein it's give Instant relief.

Naarikel lavan  2. Sutshekhar ras 3. Lashunaadi vati 4. Tab. Godanti mishran 5. 15 - 20 ml fresh cocconutwater frequently in sips or with straw to cool pitta and prevent dehydration. If not available then ORS. As patient wants to close eyes or lights switched off, typically pitta vittilated with secondary vaata. So diet pitta VATA shamak.
Acute case Tab. Paracetamol + Tab. Stemtil MD 5 mg. Take and complete rest in dark room for 1 hour. Quick relief. In chronic cases, just on the appearance of aura of migraine ( it is about 1-2 hours before attack ), these two tablets and rest. Attack prevented.

Vd. Bhavesh Sirvi: I give Gudadrak Nasya in acute and chronic condition of migraine. And sinusitis . It gives instant relief.
Dr.Rasika Deshmukh: Is gudadrak available in tail form or ghrit form in market?
Vd. Bhavesh Sirvi: We can make with milk for instant.
Dr. Anup Torane: Gudadrak means jogerry n ardrak
Vd. Bhavesh Sirvi: Also in Ghrit. Take one small piece of adark and small piece of jaggery trichurate with 3-6drops of milk (so patient can tolerate).
Vd. Suhas Chaudhari: In many cases constipation is found as main nidan in shirahshool. Relief found with only koshtha shuddhi in such cases.
LVG Shriram Gandhi: Variyali (sonf) , Shrkara, Harad small pieces, just chew in the mouth, it can give relief in pittaj shir shul within half an hour.
Dr. Dilip Nalage: Adrak or adraksvaras??
Vd. Bhavesh Sirvi: Both can taken. If u take adark than use jaggery.  If use adarkaswaras than use jaggery water.
Ayulink: Let's us share treatment and practical tips for chronic cases of shirahshul (Headache) of any etiology or pathology.
Dr.Ankita Kanani: Practically  ardhav bhedak and suryavart cure in only 3 days by nasya of narayan ghrit and no history of repeat. Also 8 days patient was advised with refuse vat vardhak ahar vihar.
Dr. Vipin Pandey: godanti bhasm +shir shuladi vajra ras + laxmi vilas ras ko pan ka swaras in morning empty stomach before sun rise for 7 day very good result. I was given to my mother fully relieved to her chronic headache.
Dr.Sunil Nadaragi: Chronic cases(Purana) shirshool is mainly due to rakhatashiragata vata dosha with sometimes anubandh of pitta kapha. it can treated by 1) virechan - virechan with trivrutha leha should be done because virechan expel rakta gata dosha 2) Nasya - Baladhatryadi tail( oil) or Shrigopal tail (oil) Nasya is very effective. 3) Mahalaxmivilas ras 1 tab with 20 ml of pathyadhatryakshadi kashyam at night before sleep should be taken. this treatment management will definitely cure any chronic cases of headache.
Tilak Raj Gujrani: 1. Cephagrain tab and nose drops 2. From kitchen ; soak khus khus ( poppy seeds ) and split black gram daal
(urad chilka ) equal quantity separately. In the morning mash split black gram to remove chilka, make paste of khus khus, split black gram and a few white pepper. Fry in very hot desi ghee, make halwa. Almonds and walnuts can also be added. Instead of water use milk. Consume daily first thing in morning and nothing 1-1/2 hour after that. During winter take daily. Very good brain tonic, stress remover curing headaches.3. Almond oil as nasya
Dr. Minakshi Kaundal: 1. Cap tagar 1bd 2.cephagrain tab 1tds 3.goghrit nasya in morning Tagar give good results in migraine.
Croatia Branko Markovic: Think always we should look pathology.. For example there was one woman suffering for 10 years with migrains 2-3 per week. She was apparently ok with not much symptoms.. Some slight problem with stool. Taking pulse I notice that her liver is weak and and samana-apana also. I gave her punarnava mandoor and triphala. During one month she had more headache but after that period she was getting less and less and now she is free from headache. For vataja and kaphaja: lashuna 3-3-3 before food and shira shola vajra ras 1-1-1 give good results. For pittaja: sutshekar ras 1-2-1 before food, prawal panchamrut 2-2-2 after food.
Dr. P. A. Deshpande: Hyper acidity, constipation, lack of proper and sufficient sleep, strain on eyes due to computer work and travelling on two wheeler , chronic cold  etc causes headaches. I am using cupping therapy, electromagnetic therapy, Neuro even tension therapy , ozone oxygen blanching therapy.  For mild to chronic pains.    
Dr.mukesh Sharma: Seb(apple)ke chilko ko batik kaat kar Nanak mila ke subh khali pet khaye. Shirashul me aaram hoga.
Dr. P. A. Deshpande: Cupping. Therapy - Due to in blood supply and saturation of plasma in veins and tissues pains are caused. Cupping action and vaccume  releases obstruction and saturation giving instant relief  frequent use  also regularise blood supply. 
Electro magnetic therapy - it kills  bacteria in cavities where medicines do not work. Neuiro even tension therapy-  In this flat elastic strips are used. The elastic  strip  is hold tightly  on fore head with  both ends exactly  at backside . Holding head  the strip is pulled and relaxed.  This creates even tension around  give acu pressure effect .  Nasya of  panchagavya ghrut is also good. For hyper acidity and constipation  colon  cleansing . Change in life style diet, pranayam  meditation exercise  has no option.  ozone / oxygen  therapy rectified many disorders. Related to headaches.
Ayulink: Let's us discuss now management of headache - shirahshul as upadrav (complication) or shirahshul as associated with other major disorder.
Dr. Yogin Patel: In such cases I give erandbhrust haritaki 2tabs bd
Vd. Pritam Bharat Veer: Treat underlying pathology along with pathyadi kadha.
Vd. Jignesh Thakkar: 1)Sometimes shirahshul is associated with Trigeminal Neuralgia. In this type of cases we can use cap.palsinuron and trayodasang Guggulu 2)when modern science says that the shirahshul is because of migraine in Ayurveda we can interpret  the diseases either associated with Sinusitis or gastritis acid peptic disorder if disease is Sinusitis oriented we can use Laxmi Vilas Ras and Tribhuvan Kirti Ras with shirah suladi vajra ras. If the disease is related with gastritis or we can say amlapitta in Ayurveda we can use avipattikar Churan and kamdudha Ras and udumbaravleh 3) srirahshul is associated with psychiatric problems we can use smritisagar Ras Brahmi Vati and saraswatharishtam 4) if shurahasool is related with hypertension we can use sarpagandha Ghan vati.
