Trigeminal neuralgia is a disease in which there occurs intense pain in either one side of face or both sides of face. The pain is so intense that it disrupts the normal daily activities of people. Simple chewing, talking, smiling, shaving or brushing the teeth can start the pains. However, these episodes of pain are short-lived. But they can occur at any time.
Trigeminal neuralgia mostly occurs on one side of the pain but it can occur on both sides of the face. It occurs because of the over-sensitization of the trigeminal nerve. It carries sensation from face to brain.
Here we mention a weekly diet plan for trigeminal neuralgia which leads to decrease in the frequency and severity of symptoms by balancing the 3doshas and thus get rid of them by some dietary modifications:
