Is Your Sinus Headache ‘Kapha’ or ‘Vata’? How Knowing Your Dosha Changes Your Treatment

Living with a headache is not easy. But identifying the headache, and finding a remedy is not easy either. You might try different solutions, and still the headache keeps coming back. Managing headaches caused due to sinus is difficult. Most people have experienced the feeling at least once in their lifetime. You can feel the pressure building behind your eyes. The throbbing in your forehead that worsens when you move even slightly.  You even feel confused and foggy throughout the day, and focusing on work becomes difficult. This is where Ayurvedic treatment for sinus headache would give you relief.  This is always so much better than reaching for a painkiller or a decongestant. The painkiller may provide temporary relief, but what will you do when the headache comes back again, and again. Will you still reach out for another pill? Or opt for a safe treatment that gives you relief naturally?

At Best Ayurvedic Clinic, sinus headaches are treated by identifying the root cause of the headache, not just superficial treatment that suppresses the symptoms.

Did you know that  not all sinus headaches are created equal?

You might be suffering from a headache. Your friend calls and complains of sinusitis that often plagues her. But the symptoms she describes are different from yours. And yet, you both call it “sinusitis.” Both of you may be right because the headache varies due to your unique body constitution, or Dosha. Your body works in different ways to deal with imbalances so it is important to diagnose the person only after understanding their unique Dosha.

Ayurveda studies the person suffering from sinus headaches. The practitioners sit with you, and listen patiently to your lifestyle, and  focus on internal imbalances that make the sinuses vulnerable in the first place. Ayurveda believes that recurring sinus headaches are usually connected to an imbalance in the body’s doshas. Most of the time it would be Kapha and Vata.

  • Lifestyle, and Seasonal factors

Once the diagnosis is made, the doctors will suggest customized treatments that utilize a mix of herbs and medicated oils to help reduce inflammation, clear sinus passages, improve immunity, and balance doshas. These treatments are not likely to have harsh side effects. The idea of the treatments would be to correct all your internal imbalances so you can enjoy a natural, root-cause-based approach that brings lasting relief.
