ABSTRACT In 21st century competitive Yuga and stressful life worry, tension, anxiety, fear, grief creates many psychosomatic disorders. Speed and accuracy are the prime demands of modern era. The need of human being is infinite but the availability is less to fulfill and our growing needs have no end. Irregular and scrappy diet repressed hostility, anger or frustration, long periods of study, lack of proper sleep, less time for relaxation and suppression of natural urges are the inseparable parts of our routine which enervate body and finally lead to the disease. Tension headache is one of them, which can be compared with Vatika Shirahshula described in Ayurvedic texts, as mental factors like excessive weeping, grief, fear, terror have also been attributed in its aetiopathogenesis. Kaplan and Sadock (1995) have reported that 82% patients are suffering from tension headache. Nearly 80% of population will experience a tension type headache at sometime. An estimated 1 year prevalence of 86% in women and 63% in men means that it is more probable to have experience a tension type headache (in Denmark).
