How to Cure a Hangover

Ok…so there really aren’t any cures for a hangover once you already got one, however there are many ways in which you can treat a hangover. By treating a hangover properly, you can help alleviate or even eliminate most of the symptoms faster. Follow these tips and you will see a difference.
First and foremost, the best way to avoid a hangover altogether is simply by learning how to prevent one. There is more information on the topic of prevention at our website, but what we will focus on here is when you already HAVE a hangover and desperately need to make it “go away”.
The first remedy which nearly everyone has heard of is the old “hair of the dog” remedy. Does it really work? Basically what the “hair of the dog” actually does is simply delay the symptoms from occurring until you finally stop drinking. However, there are many recipes that contain alcohol which are believed to “cure” a hangover such as a “prairie oyster” which is nothing more than tomato juice, a raw egg, Worcestershire sauce, seasoning, and vodka. The one item that really has great benefits is the egg. Raw eggs, however may not be so safe so make sure you practice caution when using these. Eggs contain a substance called cysteine. This chemical actually helps “mop up” left over toxins in your body from the metabolism process in your liver. This can help alleviate symptoms. However, eating eggs alone will do the same job.
Of course, water will be one of the biggest priorities as your body has become dehydrated. The dehydration actually helps cause the hangover altogether. So it would be a good technique if you were to have a glass of water with each drink. The dehydration results because your liver needs water to metabolize the alcohol and get the toxins out of your body. The more you use the restroom…the less water you have in your body.
Pain relievers are definitely a “no brainer” when it comes to a hangover. However, the toxins in acetaminophen in products like Tylenol add more toxins for your liver to process and that can cause serious liver damage.
Other great ideas include lots of sleep, bouillon soup, bread, bananas, fruit juice, vegetable juice, sugars and more. All these provide the hydration, carbohydrates/sugars, as well as stomach settling ingredients that will help treat a hangover.
There are many more options to help alleviate a hangover and that main item would be, again, prevention. Why not try some anti-hangover supplements that are available? The anti-hangover supplements are all natural and do wonders. Their main function is to help absorb the toxins that really induce nasty hangovers.
