Got a headache? Eat curry then

Yea, that’s true. Curry can cure your headache. Apparently having curry is a better cure than swallowing aspirins to get rid of that dreaded pain in the head.

This is according to a study conducted by Rowett Research Institute in Scotland. Their finding is that salicylic acid, the active ingredient in aspirin, occurs naturally in Indian food and that curry could help to treat migraines and prevent colon cancers.

The Times today quoted the study as saying that spices such as cumin, turmeric and paprika, all of which are used in curries, are particularly rich sources of salicylic acid.

And the best bit is that this Indian food has no side-effects associated aspirins.

Researchers say that the hotter the curry is, the greater the possible benefits.

So for all of you migraine sufferers, get ready for a large dosage of hot and spicy curry.
