Brief Answer: need expanded information Detailed Answer: Dear XXXX Thanks for contacting Ayurveda with your health concern(S) and I wish to Answer the query in two separate ways, do let me know which one is having close relation with the symptoms. A. Skipping or missing meals may lead to i. Hypoglycemia [low blood sugar] which can cause an increase in blood pressure and can narrow your arteries thus resulting in headaches [please check with blood sugar level] ii. Dehydration — Not drinking enough fluids i.e. lack of hydration can cause the constriction of the meninges, and because the meninges have pain receptors, this causes headaches. iii. Caffeine: going off from caffeine can cause the arteries to dilate and can create an excessive blood flow to the head, with resulting headaches. PS . drink lots of water, at least 8-10 glasses per day,which improves urine output, and re hydrates the skin (but if exposure to heat is more) add little of black pepper, lemon and salt to it or simply have ORS sachets or “Shadangpaniya” (available at all Ayurveda Stores) with you. . eat smaller meals [4 to 6 times a day] and moderate intake of caffeine. B. UNDER HYDRATION 1. any exposure to Heat/humidity, or history of under hydration i.e. giving/taking only 1-2 glasses of water per day, dehydration is bound to happen,along with other channels of water loss i.e. sweat,breath,urine and stool. 2.Avoid coffee,tea,salt,junk/processed food and HIGH protein rich diet 3..Cilantron juice (Coriander/Dhaniya) either purchased or made in home is an ideal drink. 4. Ashwagandharishta and Balarishta both 5ml-5ml (1tsf each) with equal amount of water after meals (after breakfast, and dinner) 5. Ushirasav 10ml (2tsf) after meals with equal amount of water (after lunch) PS.
