Cluster Headache.

Headaches that occur in patterns or clusters.Bouts of frequent attacks, known as cluster periods, can last from weeks to months, usually followed by remission periods when the headaches stop. During remission, no headaches occur for months and sometimes even years.According to Ayurveda , three metabolic elements are present in our body. These are called Vata, Pitta and Kapha which can affect the body functions which need to be in balance. Cluster headaches mainly occur due to the imbalance of vata and pitta.

• Restlessness
• Swelling around your eye on the affected side
• Drooping eyelid on the affected side
• Forehead or facial sweating on the affected side
• A stuffy or runny nose
• Pale skin (pallor) or flushing on your face

• Excruciating pain that is generally situated in, behind or around one eye, but may radiate to other areas of your face, head and neck.
