Differenzialtherapie von Kopfschmerzen im Ayurveda

Zusammenfassung

Im Ayurveda werden Kopfschmerzen als ein Ungleichgewicht der Doshas betrachtet. Unter dem Begriff „shiroroga“ werden 11 verschiedene Kopfschmerzformen klassifiziert, für die es differenzierte und z. T. in Studien als wirksam bestätigte therapeutische Möglichkeiten gibt. Bei korrekter Diagnosestellung und sinnvoller Behandlungsstrategie bietet der Ayurveda effiziente und nebenwirkungsfreie Behandlungsmöglichkeiten von Kopfschmerzen. Die Behandlung zielt darauf ab, das Gleichgewicht der Doshas wiederherzustellen. Dies kann durch verschiedene Methoden wie Kräutermedizin, Ernährungsumstellung, Yoga, Meditation und Reinigungsverfahren erreicht werden. Typische ayurvedische Ansätze zur Behandlung von Kopfschmerzen umfassen die Verwendung von Kräutern, die Förderung einer gesunden Ernährung und Lebensweise sowie die Anpassung des individuellen Lebensstils gemäß den ayurvedischen Prinzipien. Ayurvedische Therapien können auch in Kombination mit schulmedizinischen Behandlungen eingesetzt werden.
