How to protect yourself during magnetic storms

Magnetic storms are disturbances in the geomagnetic field of our planet, which are caused by streams of charged particles emitted by the Sun.

During this period, people complain of headaches, dizziness, nausea, high blood pressure, pain in muscles and joints, drowsiness or insomnia, and weakness. Chronic diseases are also getting worse.
