Summary
What if your migraine isn’t random, but your body trying to tell you something important? In this episode, Dr. Vignesh Devraj breaks down why migraine is not just a headache and why simply escaping triggers or taking painkillers isn’t enough. From inflammation to the surprising link between gut health and migraines, this episode connects modern science with Ayurvedic insight. You’ll discover how sleep, stress, digestion, and daily routine quietly shape your migraine patterns and why Ayurveda sees it as a deeper imbalance of Vata and Pitta, not an isolated issue. If you’ve been managing migraines but not understanding them, this episode offers a completely different lens and a way forward.
