A few days ago a lingering migraine moved me to try out some drastic natural remedies.
Migraines have been a problem over the years, but in more recent years they are fewer between, and often can be cured by extra hydration.
An extra few glasses of water in the morning most often took care of a migraine trying to overcome me. Migraines, like any sickness is not a natural problem.
You and I were not born to be sick, we were born to live life in abundance and that includes abundance of health. This is why there IS a cure for anything growing somewhere on this earth, I am convinced of that!
This means that there sometimes IS a battle, but we win!
However, last week the 2 glasses of water cure did not work. In fact nothing worked, not even the pain killers that I occasionally use to calm an extra stubborn pain. So I decided that the problem had to be an infection from something I ate.
A jumbo garlic was sitting near the fruit bowl, so 3/4 of it got cut up and ground in the blender together with apple cider vinegar and a little olive oil. That makes a garlic butter. (Actual recipe is on my sister’s blog here). I ate that throughout the day with some crackers.
Garlic is known to be a natural anti-biotic.
Next I took a big clump of ginger root, boiled it and then put it into the blender. I was determined to get as much of the actual ginger into my system as possible. I did put that liquid through a sieve and then poured it into a jar and refrigerated it.
Next I boiled some organic ginger/lemongrass tea I had found in the natural food market (Central Market) and steeped it well to make sure all of the goodness went into the liquid. That was added to the ginger tea.
Ginger is known to be good for digestion and nausea.
Throughout the day I alternated one glass of water, one glass of tea as well as munching on some crackers with a generous spread of the garlic butter.
The next morning the migraine was 90% gone. By lunchtime that day it was completely gone and I felt great!
My daily declaration: I am getting healthier by the second
There is nothing like natural cures for unnatural problems!

Water is purified by movement right? I remember watching fast flowing rivers and waterfalls in New Zealand. I also remember my mother often telling me that flowing water purifies itself when we would go out on picnics by the rivers.
