Hangover Cure & Remedies

The preventative measures described above are still helpful.  It is never too late to start damage control.

1. Do not drink more in order to reverse the hangover. It will make matters worse.

2. Drink plenty of water or other fluids but avoid orange or grapefruit juice. Many people drink coffee; its efficacy has not been studied but many people recommend avoiding it as its diuretic effect may further worsen the fluid imbalance in the body.

3. Eat light, nutritious food and stay away from greasy, fatty foods. I recommend bananas and yogurt etc.

4. Avoid sauna to relieve hangover. It may sound appealing, but can have adverse effects on your heart and blood pressure.

5. Liv52, an herbal remedy (Himalaya Drug Co., India) has been demonstrated to decrease the symptoms of a hangover. Another study showed that prophylactic use of pyritinol (similar to vitamin B₆) reduces the symptoms of a hangover by about 50 percent.

6. Over the counter medications like acetaminophen, aspirin and ibuprofen are frequently used by hangover sufferers, although their effectiveness has not been studied. Tolfenamic acid, a drug with similar pharmacological action, has been shown to ameliorate the symptoms of hangover. Its best to check with your doctor before trying any such hangover treatment and remedies.

7. For your own safety and others, don't drive a vehicle or operate heavy machinery.

Cheers!
