other Although doctors have come a long way from the old days, when headaches were ascribed to evil spirits and treatments ranged from cutting our part of the skull to concoctions of cow brain and goat dung, they are still not sure what sets off headaches The most significant advance has been the acceptance that they are not the result of emotional stress Until recently, many doctors thought that imbalances in the body’s systems were to blame, but experts now believe it is the brain itself They point to malfunctioning chemicals, such as serotonin, whose job it is to send messages to regulate the contraction and dilation of blood vessels in the brain Monosodium glutamate, a flavor enhancer used in Chinese cooking, can cause headaches in some people, as many other common foods Red wine, aged cheese, coffee, chocolate, nuts, and preserved meats contain nitrates, caffeine, and tyramine, chemicals that may produce pounding headaches Even though the exact culprit has yet to be found, there are plenty of treatments for prevention or cure Over-the-counter preparations such as aspirin are fine for treating the occasional headache, but often exacerbate severe cases Beta blockers, usually used for lowering blood pressure, seem to head off migraines Antidepressants are effective, too But doctors also recommend non-drug treatments such as relaxation techniques, which can be used in combination with medication, and diet modification, to cut out foods that cause attacks 23 According to the passage, many years ago, one way doctors tried to cure headaches was by … A
