Therapies
Panchakarma therapies used for migraine
Your doctor chooses which, if any, suit you.
Nasya
Medicines through the nostrils. Classical texts call the nose the gateway to the head (Ashtanga Hridaya, Sutra Sthana 20), so Nasya is the key therapy for conditions above the collarbone.
Shirodhara
A steady stream of medicated liquid over the forehead. Often used when stress, anxiety or poor sleep drive your attacks.
Virechana
Therapeutic purgation that clears excess Pitta. Considered when acidity, heat or digestive imbalance link to your headaches.
Swasthya Basti
Medicated oil retained in the colon to balance Vata and support the nervous system.
The process
How a Panchakarma plan runs
Assessment
Your doctor checks suitability: your health, digestion, strength and any conditions that rule therapies out.
Preparation
Digestive preparation and oleation as prescribed, so the body is ready for the main therapy.
Main therapy
The selected therapy is given by trained therapists under your doctor's supervision.
Recovery diet
A gradual return to normal food, followed by follow-up reviews.
Is it right for you?
Panchakarma is not for everyone
Panchakarma is not a self-care detox. It is only started after a doctor assesses you. It may be postponed or avoided during pregnancy, acute illness or infection, significant weakness, or soon after surgery.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How many days does Panchakarma for migraine take?
It depends on which therapies your doctor selects and how you respond. Your doctor will give you a schedule before you start.
Is Panchakarma painful?
The therapies themselves are not painful. Some, like Virechana, involve planned purgation and need rest that day. Your doctor explains each step beforehand.
Can I continue working during Panchakarma?
For some therapies, yes. Others need a day of rest. Your doctor will plan around your schedule where possible.
Can I have Panchakarma without a consultation?
No. Every Panchakarma plan at SriPAA starts with a doctor's assessment.
