Document Summary

Doesn"t work, as the brain does not feel pain. Pain is actually felt in the thin layer of tissue around the skull. Understanding the types of headache can help you treat it effectively. Caused by the tightening of the muscles around the skull. Treated with traditional pain relievers (advil, tylenol ect. ) The concentrations of these two enzymes effects the alcohol tolerance and the frequency & severity of the hangover. The longer a drink has been aged the more sever the hangover. The colour of the drink also effects the hangover. Caused by vasodilation, which compresses the skull tissues. There is no link between msg and headaches. Msg is in almost all prepared food. And in all restaurant food (either intentionally added or in sauces) When people who claim to be sensitive to msg don"t get headaches if they don"t know that they are consuming msg.
