Best Home Remedies for Hangovers
Looking for home remedies for hangovers? You're not alone. If you're at all familiar with the old British Comedy TV show Jeeves and Wooster then you'll know that Wooster (in the first episode), was also sorely in need of some help.
Of course the ever faithful Jeeves comes to the rescue and secures his employment on the spot. "If you will drink this, sir. It's a little preparation of my own invention. Gentlemen have told me they find it extremely invigorating after a late evening."
Now, we don't know exactly what this little concoction consists of, however, it appears to consist a of raw egg, cognac, cinnamon and pepper. It certainly sounds invigorating to me!Hangovers are caused by dilation of the blood vessels in the brain, dehydration and low blood sugar. 2 This is why combining food with alcohol is so important, and if you are drinking, it's important to be sure you are eating as well. However, if you do get fried to the tonsils after too much liquor, then check out these home remedies for hangovers and find your relief..(and next time.. try going a bit easier on the the liquor...better to avoid a hangover, then treat it!). - While homemade soup may not be what you are craving the morning of a major hangover, studies show that the vitamins, minerals, and salts found in homemade chicken broth are very much needed by your body during a hangover.
- If you are the type to party hard, then always keep a bottle of Hang-over Morning Mend on hand. This homeopathic remedy can help you feel better. Get more info on Hang-Over Morning Mend - Homeopathic remedy temporarily relieves hang-over symptoms like headaches and nausea.
- I'm sure most people are well aware that coffee can help. It is one of the best known home remedies for hangovers. Coffee constricts the blood vessels, which helps ease that pounding in your head. 4
- Drinking fruit juice the morning after can be very beneficial. Fruit juice contains fructose (a form of sugar), which helps your body eliminate the alcohol. 24
- On that same note about fructose, honey is a wonderful source of fructose. A spoonful (or two) of honey the morning after a late night will not only provide you with necessary fructose, you'll also reap all the other benefits of honey.
- Willow bark is an herbal remedy for hangovers that provides natural pain relief. Look for White Willow Bark Capsules
 , as that is the easiest to take. 4 - B vitamins are also very important. Your body needs more B vitamins during times of stress, and detoxifying from alcohol is a form of stress on the body.4
- Ginkgo is one herb which helps your circulatory system. It is suggested to take supplements containing ginkgo phytosome for at least 48 hours after a hangover. 2 Learn more about the gingko tree.
- Try sipping small amounts of Dandelion Root Tea
 and Burdock Root Tea tea throughout the day. You want to aim for around 3-4 cups total, spread out over 6-8 hours. Steep 1/2 teaspoon of each herb in boiling water; strain before drinking. 2 These herbs are beneficial because they cleanse the liver. Learn more about the burdock plant. - Feverfew is one home remedy you should start taking while still drinking. It is recommended to take three 80mg capsules 3 times/day. 2
- Replenish your body with vitamin B after overindulging in alcohol. Too much alcohol stresses the body and you need B vitamins to recover. Learn more facts about vitamin B.
- Reishi
 is actually a mushroom, not a herb, that helps the liver detoxify. It is suggested to take three 60mg capsules 3 times/day. 2. Reishi can also be combined with ginger for a more effective remedy. 2 See more about the health benefits of ginger.
- Another one of the home remedies for hangovers that should be started while still drinking is Milk Thistle
 . Try taking three 125mg/capsules 3 times/day, beginning the day the overindulgence starts.2
