I Have Headache, Dry Skin And Always Thirsty. Help Me Out
Good day, I was wondering if you could guide me in the right direction. Here are the things that is wrong, I have very bad headache s daily to the point of being nauseous , very dry itching skin on my feet, hands and elbow s (no cream seems to work) I am constantly thirsty (and I drink about 2 Liters of water a day and a lot and coffee). I never really feel hungry. I don t snack. and I gained about 10 kg s in 2 months. Also I have to take a few painkillers before the headache even starts to feel better.

Hi Cindi,
You need to get your thyroid profile done, it looks like you are having a thyroid problem. Also, get your blood sugar levels checked. Finally, stop taking coffee for few days.

Dear Cindi
from the description you have given ayurveda guides that you have vatic imbalance in your body. Dryness and shooting nature of pain associated with thirst are symptoms of excess of vat. The sudden weight gain calls for thyroid investigations. You have not mentioned about your hypertension and state of digestion. Are you constipated also ? Detailed prescription of herbal medicines can be made after hearing from you, for time being you can start with Garlic clove which will help to restore imbalance in vat.
