Treatment for Cluster Headache

Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) baths may help alleviate cluster headache symptoms through magnesium's vasodilatory and muscle-relaxant properties, potentially reducing neurovascular inflammation and tension. The transdermal absorption of magnesium can modulate neuronal excitability and decrease pain signaling, while promoting relaxation of vascular smooth muscle and potentially interrupting the trigeminovascular pain pathway associated with cluster headaches.
