(Hung)over it!

While alcohol does a number of well-known things, one of the key ones from the standpoint of Ayurveda, is that it dries out what’s known as ‘Ojas’. This is defined as the finest product of digestion and the primary link between consciousness and our bodies. Fair to say that it must be reasonably important. To aid with this problem, Ayurveda suggests the following treatment:

(Hung)over it!

Consume three dates mashed after being soaked in water. Thesymptoms of the hangover reduce considerably after drinking this date juice inthis form.

Just before going to bed, one can take multivitamin tabletand drink as much water as possible. Though instead of water, electrolytes arean even better substitute.

Drink a hot cup of coffee brewed with honey instead ofsugar.

In contradictory fashion to the above mentioned remedy, aconsumption of ginseng is recommended as it is proven that since caffeine isdiuretic like alcohol, it makes the dehydration worse.

When you drink, the things you lose are potassium andfructose. Bananas are best to replace them as they are a natural source ofantacids. This will also aid in coping with nausea. Bananas are also high inmagnesium, so that they can help relaxing those pounding blood vessels whichare responsible for headaches.

Banana, peanut butter and honey on whole wheat bread is oneof the best home remedies for hangovers.

Vitamin C is also said to be good home remedy for hangover.For this, one can consume orange juice, tomatoes, or 600 grams of Vitamin Ctablet itself.

‘Experts’ say that eating six raw almonds before drinkinghelps preventing the toxins into the blood and hence the hangover too.
