Most of the time, migraines indicate a mineral deficiency in the body. They may also be brought on by eating particular foods or by the body becoming dehydrated.
Since our cells are already dehydrated at that point, thirst is not the first indication that there is a deficiency of water in the body. In actuality, thirst arises when the body's fluid reserves are drastically reduced from what is necessary for optimal operation.
The best indicator of dehydration is your urine. When the body is adequately hydrated, it is colorless; when the body is severely dehydrated, it turns yellow. Finally, it can turn orange or dark in color.
In the case of mild dehydration, one experiences dry skin, fatigue, poor coordination, blood pressure changes, decreased urine output, dry mucous membranes in the mouth and nose, and impairment of judgment.
UCD (Unintentional Chronic Dehydration) leads to stress, asthma, high blood pressure, migraines, headaches, and back pain. Dehydration, in this case, is the state of the body which has been living with insufficient water for many years and is severely deficient in certain minerals, especially magnesium.
Yet, before you reach for painkillers, you need to try this natural migraine remedy:
- ¼ teaspoons of Himalayan Pink Salt or Celtic Sea Salt
- 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
Instructions:
Add the salt and the lemon juice in a glass of water, stir well to dissolve them and drink it right away. You can sweeten with a teaspoon of raw honey. Drink another glass of water immediately afterward, and in the next 30 minutes, drink a glass of water every 10 minutes. Lie down, relax, and repeat if the pain is not gone completely.
The salt in this remedy is a way to address the dehydration. Salt retains water and can lead to water retention. But taking a bit of natural salt in water will just rehydrate the cells, and provide high amounts of minerals, electrolytes, and elements needed by the body. They will energize the body, alkalize the system, boost immunity, and soothe the headache.
Moreover, make sure you also use the lemon peel when juicing, since it is high in flavonoids and essential oils that improve the absorption of nutrients in the body. Lemon will also alkalize the body, and make the minerals from salt even 5X more powerful.
Try this remedy and you will be shocked by the magic it creates!
