Migraine
Question
I get migraine headaches when I am in the bright sun, hot weather,
bright light or heat. What is the reason behind it and how can it be
controlled? During summer, I cannot go outdoors at all. During winter,
I can't stand the heat in the house.

Answer
I've seen this type of heat-related Pitta headaches with other clients. It's always best to see an Ayurvedic physician. Also try these self-care recommendations in your diet and daily routine:
Follow a Pitta-pacifying diet. Favor sweet, bitter, astringent, cool, heavy and dry foods. Reduce or avoid foods that are pungent, sour, salty, hot, light and oily.
- Take the Aci-Balance formula.
- Take Rose Petal Preserve in the morning.
- Don't skip meals.
- Before bed, drink cool milk (after boiling) blended with a couple of dates.
- Don't overwork. Take enough rest and leisure time.
- Avoid the hot sun and hot temperatures. Stay cool.
