monosodium glutamate (MSG) can
generate migraines. Missing a meal may
also get on a headache.

9. Proof of Marijuana use
for Migraines
• Medical Cannabis was a standard treatment for
migraines from the mid-19th century until it was
outlawed in the early 20th century in the USA. It has
been reported to help people through an attack by
relieving the nausea and dulling the head pain, as well as
possibly preventing the headache completely when used
as soon as possible after the onset of pre-migraine
symptoms, such as aura. There is some indication that
semi-regular use may reduce the frequency of attacks.
