Migraines are nothing to laugh about. Just one bad migraine is enough to cripple you for a whole day. Pain relievers are typically the first drugs recommended by doctors for migraine and headaches. But what do you when even these meds don’t work? The answer is salt. So if you want to avoid using stronger painkillers, you should give salt a go.
How to Use Salt For Instant Migraine Relief
If you’re going to use salt to relieve migraines, make sure to use the highest quality salt that you can get your hands on, such as Himalayan salt. This pink salt is considered one of the world’s most complete salt because it contains around 84 different minerals, electrolytes and elements.
Using this salt helps reduce the severity of migraine and headaches, boosts your immune system and most importantly restores your body’s alkaline and electrolyte balance.
Salt Water For Migraines
Ingredients:
- half a lemon
- 1/2 teaspoon himalayan salt
Instructions:
- Squeeze the lemon juice into a glass of water.
- Add the himalayan salt.
- Stir and drink.
It might not taste good but it works like a charm!
Bonus Tip:
Migraines occur when the blood vessels in your head and neck dilate. This is one of the main reasons behind the excruciating pain you experience.
Put an ice pack on your neck while dipping your hands and/or feet in very warm water. Don’t burn yourself, but make the water as hot as you can comfortably handle.
The ice pack on your neck will cause your blood vessels to constrict and the warm water having the opposite effect on your hands and feet will draw blood to them and away from your neck.
