The Big E
Electrolytes are minerals in your body that have a positive electrical charge. They are responsible for some very important bodily processes, such as nerve function, cardiovascular system regulation, and muscle function regulation.

It is thought that migraines are an inflammatory response, therefore it’s a good idea to use high-quality salt in the mixture outlined above to reduce the symptoms of a migraine, or stop one from developing at all.
