How it works
Dehydration causes changes in plasma osmolality that may trigger cortical spreading depression — the neurological event underlying migraine. It also affects cerebral blood flow and increases pain sensitivity.
Consistent daily intake is more effective than trying to rehydrate once symptoms start. Caffeinated drinks count toward fluid intake in moderation but can be triggers for some people.
Getting started
This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
