Migraine is the third most frequent ailment in the world, according to WHO, there is a global frequency of 14.7 percent. A basic understanding of the most frequent primary headaches, as well as a reasonable strategy to approaching patients with these disorders, enables for a rapid and safe diagnosis of chronic migraine, which opens up a wide range of acute and preventative therapy choices. In Migraine, sedatives and tranquilizers are often, in Ayurveda the management of Migraine is multidimensional with a wide range of therapies like Nasya, Shirobasti, Agnikarma etc. in the present the effect of Shirobasti is discussed in the management of Ardhaavabhedhaka (Migraine).

According to recent studies, roughly 6-8 percent of men and 12-15 percent of women suffer from migraine. In terms of actual numbers of attacks, data from prevalence and incidence studies estimate that 3000 migraine attacks occur per million of the general population per day. Although there is a paucity of epidemiological data in many nations at the moment, recent anecdotal evidence suggests that certain places, such as India, have greater prevalence of migraine. Health is defined in Ayurveda, as a state of well-being resulting from a synergistic balance of Doshas (primary system functions Vata, Pitta, and Kapha), Dhatu (body tissues), Mala (excretory secretions), and Agni (life force) (digestive fire). A joyful state of Atma (spirit), Indriya (sense organs), and Manas (mind) is also thought to be necessary for achieving good health. In Ayurvedic treatises, migraine headache is referred to as Ardhavabedhaka under the categorization of Shiroroga (diseases of the head area). The resulting pain is one-sided, severe, and penetrating in character. Fasting, dry food intake, alcohol, sobbing, supression of natural urges, daytime sleeping, worry, fear, and mourning are all thought to contribute as the triggering factors in Ardhavabhedaka. The administration of samshodhana, with special mention of kaya virechana (therapeutic purgation), diet, and lifestyle regulation are all part of the migraine treatment protocol.The basic ways to maintaining homeostasis of all doshas for disease prevention and management are pathya ahara (wholesome regulated food) and vihara (wholesome regulated lifestyle). Diet, lifestyle, and stress have all been linked to an increased prevalence of migraine headaches, according to scientific evidence, and recognising these factors can aid with migraine management. In this conceptual study the role of Shirobasti is highlighted in the management of Ardhavabhedaka.
