Believe there was some discussion about this a way back...should be in the
archives.  I looked into it 'cause my mum has been afflicted with migraines
for as long as I can remember.  The short of what I discovered is cayenne

some folks, these help.  But there have been a number of studies (on-going
as well, I'm sure) about capsiacin use in combating pain of various natures.

Of course, a litte salsa, a Twister board, and a friend or three....indeed
