Abstract

Ardhavbhedak is mentioned under shirorog. It is very common disease in present time as well as it is prevailing since past. Ardhavbhedak can be scientifically correlated with migraine due to its cardinal feature of half sided headache. All the three dosha are involved in the manifestation of ardhavbhedak with the predominance of vata or pitta dosha. Management of three dosha can be done by Laghusut Shekhar Ras. Laghusut shekhar Ras is referenced from Rasa Tarangini. Laghu Sutshekhar Ras is prepared from suddha gairika, shunthi and it is processed with nagarbel or betel leaf. It is useful in shirahshool, amlapitta, pittaja unmad disorder etc.

Keywords: Ardhavbhedak, Migraine, Pitta Dosha, Laghu SutShekhar Ras.
