Migraine is a type of severe headache characterized by a strong and debilitating pain. Though the reasons for it can be numerous, it is often considered to be a consequence of a mineral deficiency in the body or dehydration.
Though headaches are also unpleasant and painful, migraines are worse and the sufferer is usually unable to go on with their daily tasks when a migraine hits. Plus, they may experience other unpleasant symptoms such as dizziness, blurry vision, nausea, and light and sound sensitivity.
To alleviate the pain and discomfort, most migraine sufferers reach for over-the-counter pain relievers or some traditional remedies. However, the problem with over-the-counter meds is that they contain chemicals and come with a lot of side effects.
Therefore, many people prefer choosing a more natural cure that is safe and effective. Is there really such a remedy? Many swear by the power of lemon juice and Himalayan salt to relieve migraine naturally without causing additional problems. Let us find out more below…
