Floating for Migraine & Headache Relief

A Natural Remedy for Migraine Headaches

Migraines affect more than 28 million people in the US alone. Migraines can occur at any time, and often bring a focused pain to one side of the head. They can last for hours and even days. There are two main types of migraines; classic and common. Classic migraines are characterized by light spots, loss of vision, and numbness that occur just before the onset of the headache. A common migraine is one that occurs without the above mentioned. During a migraine headache, blood vessels in the head go through a cycle of constriction and dilation. This causes blood vessels to become inflamed.

Common “triggers” of migraine headaches include:

• Food allergies and sensitivities, the most common being gluten
• Food additives like MSG and nitrates
• Medications
• Stress
• Poor sleeping habits
• Hormone changes

The best way to Treat Migraine headaches is Prevention. There are many ways to decrease the chance for Migraines. Changes in diet, stress management techniques, regulating hormones, resting sleep, and proper supplementation (specifically magnesium) are all proven to help prevent migraines.

What does Magnesium have to do with Headaches?

Under conditions of mental or physical stress, magnesium is released by your blood cells. Stress depletes your body of magnesium, leading to magnesium deficiency. The greater your level of stress, the greater the loss of magnesium. The lower your magnesium level is, the more reactive you become to stress, and stress causes adrenaline. Higher adrenaline causes greater loss of magnesium from cells, and this completes the vicious cycle.

Espom salt is the key to fixing magnesium levels and preventing migraine headaches.

Many studies have demonstrated the wide-ranging benefits of Epsom Salt. Floating in a tank filled with Epsom salt is a very effective means of absorbing magnesium into our body. While increasing your magnesium levels, Epsom Salt also delivers sulfates. Sulfates stimulate the pancreas to generate digestive enzymes, and are believed to help detoxify the body’s residue of medicines and environmental contaminants.

More than 50% of migraine sufferers have low levels of Magnesium. 

Floating helps with headache prevention and elimination. Beyond Epsom salt, floating offers many other ways to cure headaches. Dark quiet rooms are ideal for dealing with headaches. Floating also relieves the body of carrying it’s own weight which allows for relaxation. To top it all off, floating also helps with achieving better and deeper sleep! Don’t waste any more time.
