How about a tequila shot to cure your migraine? Seems to good to be true? I’m sure it is. I think all tequila does is make your clothes fall off.
But two different friends shared an article, and I also stumbled across a website where I read that salt could cure your migraine, so I thought I would try it. After all, if you suffer from chronic migraines, you’ve probably tried just about everything you can imagine, so why not try a shot of Himalayan Pink Salt and lemon juice?
I’ve had migraines my whole adult life. They’ve usually been infrequent (fortunately) and standard migraine medicines have always worked until recently, when my body decided it thought it would be a good idea to have a headache for almost 6 weeks straight. Yep, 6 weeks with no relief from modern medicine. Well, that’s not entirely true. The day I went to the ER because I thought I might be having an aneurysm and they gave me morphine I had relief. But the regular migraine meds I had and other over-the-counter meds weren’t working. Narcotics were the only things that would touch the pain. So why not try other methods.
If you’ve ever had a migraine, you know anything is worth trying.
One morning a couple of weeks ago I had a small migraine starting, so I walked myself downstairs to the kitchen and grabbed the supplies I needed to try this salt method. I had high hopes with all of the natural minerals in the Himalayan Pink Salt. I grabbed two lemons from my lemon tree and the salt from my table. I mixed about 10 oz of freshly squeezed lemon juice and 3 tsp of salt and chugged.
I think it took the edge of for a few seconds, but only because I was bemoaning the fact that I brushed my teeth with mint tooth paste about 10 minutes earlier and was wishing that I hadn’t. This mixture did nothing for my migraine. All it did was make my mouth taste nasty and forced me to chug a ton more water and head back to bed.
If you try this salt and lemon mixture for a migraine and have good luck, let me know.
Next time, I’m adding in the tequila.

LOL about the clothes falling off! Migraines are just awful though. Have you tried taking an OTC magnesium supplement? I take one daily and it’s really helped.
I do take a magnesium supplement, but I can look at the dosage and maybe I can increase it. It’s weird. They used to be so intermittent and then turned into this horrendous mess. I’m just hoping to get them back under control and back to intermittent again. It was nice to see you today, even ever so briefly! Hope you found what you were shopping for:)
I wish that this mixture would have worked for your migraine. Headaches are the worst. Doing too much causes me to get headaches. And about the tequila, it does make your clothes come off! LOL! I hope you find relief from your headaches!
Funny thing, I found this whilst tying to find supporting evidence for tequila actually being a decent remedy, because yes, like you, I’ve tried pretty much everything and narcotics are the only thing that gave relief. I read that tequila can constrict blood vessels, and that sounded like what my migraine meds do… Haha.
One thing that has helped (I’m suffering now because I negelected to keep up this week!) is magnesium SULFATE – in the “oil” form. 1/2 crystals 1/2 boiled, filtered water, mix in glass container without metal. Put in spray bottle or dropper and apply to clean skin everyday. Wait 20 minutes before applying more creams etc. just look up the benefits of magnesium oil. It’s better absorbed through the skin apparently, and works quite quickly. I have an arsenal of odd “fixes” for migraine, from that TENS thing you put on your forehead, to cayenne under the tongue or up the nose – but a migraine isn’t just a bad headache, so the fight is often sadly feeble against it’s debilitating effects. Salt/lemon didn’t work for me either. Good luck!
Larissa, I hope you get some relief. One of the visits to the ER they actually had the mag sulfate in my IV and that did help my migraine, as well. Who knows why, but yep it actually provided relief versus the narcotics, which are simply a pain killer.
