If you've ever had a migraine headache in your life you know the awful feeling it produces. You think your head is going to explode. Actually, and in all honestly, you almost wish it would to relieve the pressure.

Am I right? I know that's how I've felt when getting one of those.

Now there's relief for them. Salt and lemon juice.

However it isn't just any old table salt. According to this article in Best Herbal Health, you need to have pink Himalayan crystal salt to gain instant relief from the migraine.

Te reason why it must be the Himalayan salt "this salt helps reduce the severity of migraines, strengthens the immune system, increases energy levels, balances serotonin levels in the bloodstream, restores the body's alkaline and electrolyte balance and much more."

The recipe is simply:

2 teaspoons Himalayan crystal salt mixed into 1 cup of lemon juice with the lemon zest and 1 cup of water.

Now if that sounds a bit extreme to drink I did read in comment section of Open the Mind.com that one lady found cooking with the salt worked best for her.

Anything is worth a shot to try isn't it?

Me, personally, will try natural remedies first before seeking prescription medications.
