In this instructional YouTube video, Ayurveda practitioner Salima Sukumaran presents a traditional yogic remedy for relieving headaches and migraines using sandalwood (chandan) paste. She explains the historical use of sandalwood by sages, royalty, and in temples for calming the mind and cooling internal heat. The video outlines the Ayurvedic rationale: sandalwood’s natural cooling, anti‑inflammatory properties, and its ability to pacify the Pitta dosha, which is associated with heat and anger—key triggers for headaches. Salima then provides a step‑by‑step guide to preparing the paste by mixing pure sandalwood powder with rose water or plain water, applying a small circle on the forehead between the eyebrows (the third‑eye area), and leaving it on for 15–20 minutes to experience a cooling, tension‑releasing effect without medication.
