Thread: Hangover...

You attended a good party, You get drunk and when you got up you need to go office or at some other place but you cannot....WHY

BECAUSE YOU HAD HANGOVER

So how to get rid of this hangover in home, Below are home remedies for HANGOVER...

• APPLES AND BANANA:
  Eating raw fruits or having a fresh and crunchy fruit salad is an effective way of treating hangovers. Apples and bananas in particular work as effective hangover cures. Do it at home: Dr. R.K. Sharma, medical officer, JMT Dehradun, suggests "In case of a headache, having an apple on an empty stomach lends fast relief. A banana shake with a tablespoon of honey is a good option. It not only relaxes your stomach and nerves but the honey present in the fruit shake resumes the lost blood-suger, while the banana helps in regaining essential minerals like potassium, which the body loses due to alcohol."
  
  
• HONEY
  Honey is one of the simplest and easily available home remedies. It has potent powers to neutralise the harmful effects of alcohol, thanks to the presence of fructose, which competes with the metabolism of alcohol. Honey also helps in the digestion of alcohol inside a person's body. Do it at home: Dr. M.P. Mani, Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and surgery, suggests, "Taking 3-4 teaspoons of honey after an interval of one hour helps in digesting alcohol. However, the quantity of honey maybe increased if the hangover is acute and severe. You can also prepare a classic 'hot-toddy' with honey. Just boil one cup of water, add honey and lemon juice to taste and it's ready! This hot toddy works well to treat a hangover. At the same time it is easy to make and tasty. You can enjoy the toddy several times in a day as it replenishes fluids and sugar lost in a hangover".
  
  
• GINGER
  Ginger is a tried and tested treatment for nausea and seasickness. And that's why it is considered as one of the best home remedies for a hangover. Ginger gives fast relief by assisting in the digestion of alcohol, thus soothing the stomach. Do it at home: "Chewing 2-3 small pieces of ginger or taking a cup of ginger tea lends fast relief. In addition, you can prepare a brew by boiling 10 to 12 slices of fresh ginger root in 4 cups of water for ten minutes. Now, add the juice of one orange, 1/2 lemon and 1/2 cup of honey to it. This concoction helps stabilise blood suger, which is usually low after alcohol consumption", suggests Dr. Sharma.
  
  
• Peppermint
  Peppermint is a very helpful herb. Consume with your tea or chew it as this relaxes the intestines. Peppermint is a carminative, which is a substance that removes accumulated gas from the stomach and intestines. Do it at home: "Patients suffering from a hangover should be given 3-5 leaves of peppermint. You can also use it as tea by pouring one cup of boiling water over 1-2 teaspoons of the dried herb or 5-10 leaves of peppermint. One or two cups of this preparation will do the trick," suggests Dr. Mani.
  
  
• Lemon
  Lemon juice or lemon tea is a popular home remedy for hangovers. It helps to assimilate alcohol and perovides instant relief. The best trait of lemon is that it makes a gentle medicine that can be taken on a possibly upset stomach. Do it at home: Dr. Mani adds, "Prepare lemon-tea, but do not add sugar to it. Lemon -rich tea detoxifies the stomach of unwanted materials. On the other hand, fresh lemon juice prepared in cold water with little sugar also gives fast relief. This drink controls the sugar level in the blood after an excess intake of alcohol."
  
  
• Tomato
  Tomato juice contains fructose, a type of sugar that helps your body metabolise alcohol faster. This is why dehydration caused due to a hangover can be compensated by taking freshly prepared tomato juice or soup. Do it at home: "The sour taste of tomato has a great effect in curing hangover. You can prepare tomato juice and add fresh lemon juice to it for fast relief," tells Dr. Sharma.
  
  
• Lime
  Lime is the answer to queasiness, dizziness, sensitivity to light and sound and all kinds of muscle aches caused due to excessive alcohol intake. It offers vitamin C which stabilises your blood suger levels. Do it at home: Dr. Sharma, suggests, "As soon as you wake up, prepare a mixture of two teaspoons of lime water, a teaspoon of sugar and 1/2 cup of water. Drink it slowly and it will stabilise the blood sugar."
  
  
• Cabbage
  The ancient Greeks and Romans placed great importance on the healing powers of cabbage. They would eat large quantities of cabbage at night before drinking, as this would allow them to drink more alcoholic beverages without feeling the side effects. Perhaps this is why many consider cabbage with vinegar a good hangover remedy. Do it at home: "Chewing raw cabbage helps treat headaches and disturbance in the nerves caused due to a hangover. Cabbage juice taken with tomato juice works wonders as it reduces the craving for alcohol and also helps in metabolism," suggests Dr. Mani.

but its always better to make sure u dont ve a hangover........jus have some food be4 30 min to 1.5-2 hours.........Empty stomach always leads to getting drunk n than a hangover......

Also make sure you don't eat much food before alcohol... That'll make you puke afterwards, Also there's always "Chakna" with Alcohol

one of the best remedies for a hangover is also having a good fried kind of breakfast, which can consist of heavy buttery pranthas, some omlette with fried/toasted and buttered bread!

Or either take an ibroprophin!!

Very helpful list. Although I dont want to imagine the alcohol and honey mix...definitely interesting. You can also compress a cold cloth on the back of your neck...it helped me.

I heard fry ups are good for a hangover, such as fried eggs with toast, or anything else fried

When I used to have hangovers I would get huge carbohydrate cravings. I swear I could have eaten baked potato for breakfast.

I don't drink anymore so I never get a hangover.
