Headache and Migraine Relief Tip # 6

The second most abundant mineral in the body, magnesium, is involved in over 400 enzyme and physiological functions.  Some of its top benefits include relaxing muscles, reducing blood pressure and improving nerve transmissions... and of course, relieving headaches!

Especially important if you are taking calcium... as the calcium/magnesium ratio in the body and various tissue will be changed if you only take calcium.  Most people in the western culture are deficient in magnesium, partly because of diet but mostly because of stress.  Magnesium is eliminated as part of the stress response in the body.

Some symptoms of magnesium deficiency:

• Dry Skin
• Frequent Urination
• Tense Muscles
• Headaches
• Constipation
• Muscle Pain
• Sleep pattern of fall asleep, wake up, fall asleep, wake up (often with need for urination)
• Wake up Tired without Deep sleep
• Chronic Stiffness

How much to take?  An Hair Analysis would be helpful to measure tissue storage levels.  But for a lot of people, 400 mg in three divided dosages daily is quite useful.  Great for constipation relief too!

As alway, remember, if headaches continue or are severe, please, please, please see your qualified health care provider! Thank you for your attention! Karl
