Abstract

The lifestyle of the people of the modern era has changed due to rapid urbanization. Due to changes in lifestyle, stress  is causing an increased incidence of acute and chronic disorders like Ardhavabhedaka. Ardhavabhedaka (Migraine) is  a condition associated with moderate-to-severe headaches with a throbbing type of pain that lasts from hours to days.  It begins on one side of the head and spread to both temporal and occipital regions and is frequently accompanied by  symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, tiredness, and sometimes giddiness. Ardhavabhedaka can be correlated with  migraine, due to its cardinal features of a half-sided headache. According to Acharya Charaka, Ardhavabhedaka have  Vata-Kapha dosha. The management of these Dosha can be done through Kumkum Nasya Karma.
