I’ve previously covered ginger (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/ginger-for-migraines/) and topical lavender (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/lavender-for-migraine-headaches/) for migraines. Saffron (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/saffron-for-the-treatment-of-pms/) may help relieve PMS symptoms, including headaches. A more exotic way a plant-based can prevent headaches is by helping to keep tapeworms out of your brain (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/chronic-headaches-and-pork-tapeworms/).

Though hot peppers can indeed trigger headaches, they can also be used to treat them. Check out my wild video relieving cluster headaches with hot sauce (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/hot-sauce-in-the-nose-for-cluster-headaches/).
