Chai Hu and headaches

[Guest guest]

question: I'm pretty sensitive to anything that might give one a headache and I

always get headaches from any product or formula containing Chai Hu. I was

warned in school that this could happen because it raises the clear yang.

I also get headaches from MSG or any MSG derivative. What I've noticed is that

I get the SAME type of headache from both. MSG or glutamate in it's many forms

is an excitatory neuro-transmitter and I was just wondering if anyone might know

if Chai Hu is in any way an excitatory neurotransmitter as well or if any

research has been done in this vein.

 

Thank you,
