Q. I was fascinated by a recent report in your column that black tea can counteract headache. On any given day I can wake up with a headache that I describe as burning. Although I take acetaminophen and a fish oil capsule as soon as possible, it’s usually just too late. The headache lasts into the day, if not several days.
So I started drinking a cup of black tea daily since reading about this. Though it hasn’t been very long, I have excellent results. To wake up with a very clear head is a miracle! This is the only thing that is helping my headaches now, and I can’t thank you enough for this tip.
