In the rich tradition of Ayurveda, even the simplest of natural remedies can offer powerful healing. Here is one such lesser-known, yet incredibly effective remedy for quick headache relief — and it starts right at your big toe nail!

According to traditional knowledge, applying the fresh juice of any of the following medicinal plants on your big toe nail can help relieve headaches almost instantly:

Leucas aspera (commonly called Thumbai or Dronapushpi)

Clerodendrum infortunatum (commonly known as Bhant or Hill Glory Bower)

Tragia involucrata (Dusparsha-known as Indian Stinging Nettle)

False Daisy (Bhringraj – Eclipta prostrata)

Tulsi (Holy Basil)

Take a few fresh leaves of any one of these herbs.

Crush or grind them with your palms to extract the juice.

Apply a few of this juice on the nail of your big toe — especially the toe on the opposite side as the headache.

Relax and observe the relief within a short time.

This method works based on traditional marma points and the energetic connection between nerves and extremities recognized in Ayurveda.
