Nivea recently sat down for a radio interview with WPGC 95.5 where she opened up about her health scare after giving birth to her daughter Navy.

The singing talked about experiencing extreme nausea and feeling very ill and would use to salt to help ease the queeziness. As a result, the singer had a stroke.

“I had a stroke after I had Navy, because I was literally eating salt out of my purse,” Nivea tells. “I didn’t know about the fluid retention and how you could swell your brain and actually cause your brain to scrape your skull, which is an actual headache, not what we call a headache – that’s just tension. So I went through that.”

“I was so sick that I was tired of being nauseous and throwing up and you know salt curbs nausea, so I literally had a salt shaker in my purse, shaking it in my hand, eating it.”

Nivea continues on, saying that her stroke prevented her from breastfeeding her child for a month. However, she got through it and recovered from her stroke without any permanent damages.

A lot of people who suffer from strokes sometimes use CBD products, as a natural health method for combatting the symptoms of the illness, purchasing from websites like CopeCBD.com. It has been shown to reduce inflammation in neurodegenerative disorders such as a stroke.

“Thank God nothing was wrong, no damage or anything like that, but what a scare, right? But it’s like wow, I survived that? …That was scary, but I learned that you can’t eat salt.”
