Hangover

The party’s over, and you had a little too much to drink. No, wait, you had WAY too much to drink, and you wake up the next morning with a pounding headache, nausea, and you can barely move out of your bed. Good thing you don’t have to go to work because you wouldn’t make it anyway. What are you going to do? Surely, you don’t want to spend the entire day in bed, but you feel so lousy that you don’t even want to think of moving.

Home Remedies For A Hangover:

Fruit Juice:

Fruit juice contains fructose, a form of sugar that helps the body burn alcohol faster. Drinking a large glass of orange juice, tomato juice, or other fruit juice will speed up the process of alcohol removal.

Crackers And Honey:

Honey is a concentrated source of fructose, so eating some honey the next day will help flush out any remaining alcohol.

Pain Relief:

A headache is one of the major parts of the package when it comes to a hangover. Do not take anything stronger than aspirin, acetaminophen, or ibuprofen.

Willow Bark:

Willow bark is a natural alternative in the area of pain relievers. It contains a natural form of salicylate, which is the active ingredient in aspirin. The salicylate is released during the chewing process.

Drink Bouillon:

Broth from bouillon cubes or any other homemade soup broth contains salt and potassium that the body loses when you drink.

Drink Water:

Be sure to replenish your water supply. Alcohol consumption causes dehydration, so be sure to drink plenty of water before you go to bed and then again when you awaken to help relieve discomfort of dehydration.

Take B-Complex Vitamins:

Drinking depletes the body’s supply of the B-complex vitamins. According to statistics, the body turns to B vitamins when it is under a great deal of stress, and excessive drinking falls into that category. Replenishing those vitamins with a B-complex vitamin capsule can help shorten the length of time you suffer from a hangover.

Eat Amino Acids:

Drinking alcohol also depletes the supply of amino acids, the building blocks of protein. Eat a small amount of carbohydrates to help replenish amino acids. You may also find amino acids in capsule form at most health food stores.

Drink Two Cups Of Coffee:

Coffee helps reduce the swelling of blood vessels that causes a headache. Drinking a couple of cups of coffee can help relive the headaches that are associated with hangovers.

Eat A Good Meal:

If you are able to eat, consuming a balanced meal will replace the loss of essential nutrients, but keep it light with no fats or fried foods.
