MIGRAINE / Headache.

It is a special type of Headache(shirah shoola) that changes according to the intensity of the sun rays. The headache is directly proportionate to intensity of the sunrays so only named as suryaavartha. The headache starts in the morning gradually increases upto noon(mid day) then gradually decreases upto night. The pain is more at Eye, root of nose(bhru), Temporal(shankha), and frontal region (lalata).

DESCRIPTION :-

The seviority of the disease reduces some times with hot therapy and some times with cool therapy , this indicates the vata and pitta predominence in Tridoshas.
The seviority of the disease should be judged according to the pitta dosha , at night due to pitta shaman pain is reducing and at day time due to pitta prakopa pain is aggravating.
At night pain is reducing why because the aggravated kapha not accumulating due to widely opened srotas but at day time due to narrow - closed srotas kapha is accumulating and obstructing the channels, so only pain is aggravating.
According to Charak :- The pain is aggravating in day time due to the vitiation of Rakta, Vata and liquification of Mastulunga and the pain is reducing at night due to solidification of Mastulunga.
Explaination of the Aetio pathology of the disease according to dosha is very difficult.
