Migraine patients who do not respond to conventional therapy, develop unacceptable side-effects, or are reluctant to take medicines resort to complementary and alternative medicines (CAM). Globally, patients have been seeking various non-conventional modes of therapy for the management of their headaches. An Ayurvedic Treatment Protocol (AyTP) comprising five Ayurvedic medicines, namely Narikel Lavan, Sootshekhar Rasa, Sitopaladi Churna, Rason Vati and Godanti Mishran along with regulated diet and lifestyle modifications such as minimum 8 h sleep, 30-60 min morning or evening walk and abstention from smoking/drinking, was tried for migraine treatment. The duration of the therapy was 90 days. Out of 406 migraine patients who were offered this AyTP, 204 patients completed 90 days of treatment. Complete disappearance of headache and associated symptoms at completion of AyTP was observed in 72 (35.2%); mild episode of headache without need of any conventional medicines in 72 (35.2%); low intensity of pain along with conventional medicines in 50 (24.5%); no improvement in seven (3.4%) and worst pain was noted in three (1.4%) patients, respectively. In 144 (70.5%) of patients marked reduction of migraine frequency and pain intensity observed may be because of the AyTP. Though the uncontrolled open-label design of this study does not allow us to draw a definite conclusion, from this observational study we can make a preliminary assessment regarding the effectiveness of this ayurvedic treatment protocol.The Raj Migraine and Headache Program, based on the science of Maharishi Ayurveda, provides the most comprehensive natural approach to headaches and migraines available today, both in identifying causes and in providing treatment.Chronic headaches are usually caused by a variety of imbalances that have become deeply embedded in the physiology over years. In every case there must be some stimulation of the pain sensitive structures in the head. The comprehensive, multi-modality approach of Ayurveda focuses on removing impurities and promoting balanced functioning of the entire mind/body system.
The vascular changes in the brain at the basis of headache pain are often created by nervous system instability. Excessive vascular wall dilation and constriction occurs due to an inappropriate response from the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. Ultimately the imbalanced performance of these divisions of the nervous system creates the experience of headache pain.
The Ayurvedic Headache and Migraine program offered at The Raj provides a breadth of recommendations and treatments that can support significant progress through a natural health approach.Migraine is a severe headache affecting 1 or more in 10 people, and is basically caused by excessive stimulation of blood vessels.

Reasons for Migraine:
Although the exact cause of migraine is still unknown, environmental factors and genetics are often attributed to the occurrence of such condition. Migraine attack may be caused due to changes in interactions of the brain-stem with trigeminal nerve, which is the primary pain pathway. Imbalance in certain chemicals such as serotonin may also trigger migraine. During migraine attack, the level of serotonin falls. This causes the trigeminal nerve to secrete neuropeptides, which travel to meninges, the outer covering of the brain. This causes headache pain.
