Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Belleric myrobalan (Terminalia bellirica), known as "Bahera" in Ayurveda, is traditionally used in various formulations for a range of ailments, including headaches. Classical Ayurvedic texts mention its use, often as part of the "Triphala" combination, for balancing the body's doshas and supporting general wellness. Specifically, traditional practitioners have employed Belleric myrobalan for its purported analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, which could be indirectly linked to relief from headache symptoms, particularly those caused by tension or imbalances in bodily humors.

However, there is a lack of robust scientific studies directly examining Belleric myrobalan for headache (tension) relief. Available pharmacological research focuses mainly on its antioxidant, antimicrobial, and hepatoprotective effects, with little direct clinical evidence supporting its role in headache management. Therefore, while its use for this indication is rooted in traditional medicine systems, the evidence supporting this use is limited to historical and anecdotal reports rather than modern clinical trials or scientific validation.
