The 6 Best Organic Hangover Remedies
What's the best way to cure a hangover?
Keep in mind a couple of things. The first one is to resist the temptation to use over-the-counter medications, such as aspirin, acetaminophen, or ibuprofen, because they can amplify serious side effects from alcohol (ranging from stomach bleeding, liver damage or thinning blood).
Hydrate
The most important thing is to hydrate, hydrate, hydrate to clean out the toxins. So drink plenty of water before, during, and after drinking.
Milk Thistle Liquid Extract
Before bed, drop 50ML of milk thistle liquid extract into a large glass of water. The morning after, do it again, and add the milk thistle extract to the water your drink throughout the following day.
Tomato juice with cayenne pepper, sugar, and lime is also a good choice because it helps replenish electrolytes and return your blood sugar to normal. If you don't have tomato juice, you could also use a glass of water with a dash of sea salt and sugar before bed and immediately upon waking up. Don't forget to add the milk thistle extract.
Tiger Balm
Use Tiger Balm to help your headache. Tiger balm, a blend of camphor, menthol, cajuput oil, and clove oil, is probably one of the best topical headache cures in existence. Dab a little bit on the back of your neck and temples, massage it in, and wait a few minutes.
Wasabi or Mustard Baths
Yes, wasabi as in sushi. Because about 1/3 of toxic body waste is cleared through the skin, wasabi increases blood circulation through the organs and promotes oxygenation of the cellular tissue, helping to clear cells of metabolic waste.
Soaking in a wasabi bath will help clear toxins through your skin. You can also try using a regular mustard bath. If you can't access these products, make your own by pouring 2TB of pure mustard powder into warm running bath water. Sit for about 20 minutes, then dry off, take a nap, and let the mustard take effect.
Move Your Body
Other well-proven organic ways to relieve hangover include reflexology (i.e., rubbing your feet) especially the outer edge area on the right foot, halfway between the middle of the foot and the little toe.
Also some yoga experts believe yoga can relieve a hangover. The main pose I recommend is to perform the seated twist, which some yogis say squeezes blood out of the organs, thereby bringing fresh blood in.
Green Juice
Finally, don't underestimate the power of the green by taking a couple shots of wheatgrass or a glass of green juice is immensely helpful. This delivers powerful antioxidants and enzymes to support your body inside and out. If possible, I recommend a glass of green juice at the end of the night, and another first thing in the morning.
