Water Miracles Cure - Migraines

Headaches are a sign of dehydration. Migraines are an urgent call for water. Migraines are often caused by inadequate temperature regulation in the body. Being overheated and dehydrated is a serious condition. The brain reacts to the urgent need for water by creating an incapacitating headache that prompts the sufferer to immediately reduce any level of activity, thus allowing the body to cool down. The migraine also initiates a desire for pain medication which is taken with much-needed water. If you are plagued by migraines, make a serious attempt to re-hydrate your body. To prove to yourself the benefits of increased water intake, take your baseline, as mentioned on page 21, noting in particular the frequency, duration, and severity of your recent migraine episodes. Then begin to increase your water intake and become fully hydrated. At regular intervals, perhaps based on the recurrence frequency of your previous migraines, look at your baseline information and see what has changed. Have you experienced any migraines since re-hydrating? If so, has the severity or duration changed? You should see some significant improvement if you have been diligent about taking in the required amount of water. If there has been little or no improvement after a number of weeks, there may be a more serious cause for your migraines. As always, ensure you are working with your physician to monitor and evaluate these changes in your health regimen.
