First, a brief explanation of how/why dehydration effects headache & migraine formation.
The brain is lord of organs. As lord, when it starts to feel deprived of water or when it starts to feel overheated, it commands extra fluid, in the form of blood to itself.
When this occurs, the arteries leading up to the brain, those closest to it, start expanding with the extra blood. That would be the arteries in the temple and face region.
This is how headaches & migraines can begin. As blood rushes to the brain you start feeling that familiar throbbing sensation in the temples and your face becomes flushed with blood.
Individual factors determine severity, duration & type of headache.

* Water, water!, December 1, 2007 C. Lock "Psych54" (Denton, TX United States)
Let's see. Our body is 75% water (so is the surface area of the earth). Our brain is 80% water. Need we say anymore?
* Cured my chronic migraines, January 21, 2008 Courtney J. Culver (Clawson, MI)
I have seen several physicians, including a neurologist, about my chronic migraines which include vomiting, blurred vision, excruciating pain, and trouble speaking. I was having migraines 3 times a week for 6 months. Medication did not help. Eliminating caffeine didn't work. This book caught my eye at a Barnes and Noble and without even reading a page, I bought it and read it in 2 days. Since dramatically increasing my water intake, I have gone 2 months with NO MIGRAINES. I also have an incredible amount of energy and am more focused and productive at work.
YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK!
* WATER---The CHEAPEST Life Insurance and Health Insurance, July 16, 2002 George Stancliffe (Toppenish, WA)
This review is from: Your Body's Many Cries for Water (Paperback) My mother gave me a copy of this book in 2000. (But I have been drinking lots of extra water since 1997 when someone else advised me of it's health benefits). I consider this one of the most valuable books I own.
Since I started drinking lots of water 5 years ago, I have noticed that I almost NEVER get sick any more. And when I do get sick, it doesn't hang around very long and it isn't severe. That's good enough evidence for me.
Oh yeah, My sister has Dr Batmanghelidj's book too, and she prevents most of her migraines by drinking lots of water (she used to get migraines LOTS more often). Now, when she does get an occasional migraine, she drinks a couple glasses of water, and the migraine almost always goes away quickly.
That's two out of two that I know of that are seeing clear results with the advice of this book.
Thank you, Dr Batmanghelidj, for your very practical book!!!!
NOTE: The above testimonials on the symptoms & effects of dehydration with corresponding hydration are quite dramatic. Hopefully any symptoms of dehydration that you are dealing with will dissolve as quickly and dramatically but you should not expect that to occur.
Be patient. Follow our recommendations on drinking more water & see what happens.
