Stop Migraines within Minutes With Lemon Juice and Himalayan Salt

Migraines cause intense and debilitating pain and are often a result of a deficiency of a certain mineral in the body.  They are common in the case of dehydration of the body, as well as after the consumption of certain foods too.

We do not need to feel thirsty in order to realize that our body is dehydrated, as thirst is actually a sign that the cells are already dehydrated, and it develops when the body fluids are depleted well below levels required for optimal functioning.

In order to check if you are dehydrated, you should monitor your urine. A hydrated body produces colorless, clear urine, while a dehydrated one produces yellow urine. Moreover, you are severely dehydrated if your urine is orange or dark-colored.

Mild dehydration causes dry skin, fatigue, poor coordination, blood pressure changes, decreased urine output, dry mucous membranes in the mouth and nose, and impairment of judgment.

On the other hand, the symptoms of UCD (Unintentional Chronic Dehydration) include asthma, allergies, migraines, headaches, stress, back pain, high blood pressure, and many degenerative health problems.
