Joy answers:
If you searching the net for information on migraines and salt much of what you find is how salt CAUSES a migraine, as opposed to stopping one. I suffered from migraines for a long time and tried pretty much everything out there, both natural remedies and medical intervention. They are mostly under control now, but I noticed in the past few months that if I eat salt when I feel a migraine coming on, that I don’t get the headache! It could be that my electrolytes are “off” and that is what causes the migraines?
In fact this very topic has been one of the most discussed posts on my blog. Check out what others have to say about migraine and salt.
