1. Natural Remedies For A Cursed Hangover:
The "Why-Did-I-Do-It?" Morning After
That last beer or martini seemed like such a good idea! Who'd
have believed we'd regret it so bitterly this morning?
If you're searching for hangover relief, we can offer you some
home remedies that just might be your special hangover cure.
And we have a couple of prevention tricks that might ease your
day and prevent future misery – because a hangover IS misery –
especially because we know we did it to ourselves!
Drink More! (Ugh!)
No, we're not talking about 'hair of the dog' – especially if you
have to go to work or address the UN on world peace. One of the
problems with alcohol is that it dehydrates us dramatically, and
when our water storage tanks are low, hangover misery is the result. Those
unfortunate folks who are stranded in the desert without water often exhibit hangover-
like symptoms, and that's why.
1. So, drink water – but don't scarf down two gallons in five minutes. When we drink
too much water too fast, we can lose our electrolytes. Our muscles and neurons – the
cells that run the nervous system and brain, among others – are powered by
electrolytes. Obviously, depleting them will simply make us feel worse, not better. The
so-called 'experts' disagree on how fast we can drink water, but two-four cups per hour
is reasonable.
2. Lots of hungover folks prefer sports drinks for their high electrolyte content.
We're not too fond of those drinks ourselves, since they're loaded with sugar and
additives, however that is certainly an individual choice.
3. When you drink your water add a couple of bananas. They are loaded with
potassium which is lost through the kidneys when drinking alcohol.
Or you might prefer a smoothie with a couple of bananas and some milk. Apples,
berries or other sweet fruits are acceptable if you don't have any bananas (or the
thought of driving to a store makes you think about throwing up!)
Use stevia or honey, though, instead of loading your drink up with sugar. Honey, for
instance, is loaded with electrolytes, and the less refined it is, the higher the power.

2. About That Headache …
Aspirin and all its cousins can irritate – and even damage – the lining of the stomach.
And irritating the lining of an already queasy stomach obviously isn't the best course of
action.
5. Fortunately, there is an alternative called feverfew which is found in health food
stores everywhere.
6. Our herbal guides state that raw persimmon and raw cabbage are also good for
headaches, but I'm
not sure how useful that advice is. I don't even know what a persimmon looks like!
However, you might have a persimmon tree in your backyard and this is perfect advice
for you.
To Finish Off The Hangover
7. Exercise is a cure-all for hangovers. Unfortunately, for most folks just the thought
of exercising when hungover is a total turnoff. However, as soon as you're able, go for a
walk and it just might get the last vestiges of hangover out of your system.
How To Prevent Hangover (Besides The Obvious!)
8. Since you already know that a primary cause of
hangover is dehydration, you will not be surprised
to hear that drinking water can help to prevent
hangover is well. The ideal (except not drinking
too much) is to have a glass of water between
each alcoholic beverage.
However, let's get real here and acknowledge that
that's not likely to happen so the second-best
alternative is drinking a couple of glasses of water before you fall into bed.
9. Have a remedy on hand called Bifidus powder. Bifidus is made of friendly
bacteria. These little guys destroy acetaldehyde, which is a byproduct of alcohol
and one of the major causes of the agony that we face the next morning. If you
put one or 2 teaspoons of Bifidus in a glass of water and drink it the night before,
the odds are good that you will wake up the next morning hangover-free.

3. 10. Fats and oils will also help to stop alcohol in its tracks. Depending on the
culture, there are various recommendations of what fats to eat but most agree
that nuts are loaded with the correct fats. Almonds and peanut butter are
considered especially good. Evening primrose oil is another good choice.
Focusing on hangover prevention is clearly a wiser course then seeking hangover
remedies or hangover cures. But either way, there are many natural alternatives
to unhealthy, man-made medicines — or agonized suffering.
