How to relieve hangover naturally with these home remedies

The hangover is a Symptomatic picture of general malaise that appears as a result of excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages. However, it is a picture that is not serious enough to produce an ethyl coma, but it can cause death due to respiratory depression.

Among its most common symptoms we mainly find headache and headache (which in many cases can be certainly terrible), feeling of intense thirst as a result of dehydration caused by the degradation of alcohol in the body, digestive and gastric problems , muscle weakness and pain (both abdominal and muscular), as well as memory loss.

As we saw in a previous article, in which we wondered why the hangover appears, it arises by the action of alcohol as an inhibitor of the functioning of the vasopressin hormones, since when we drink this type of water is eliminated when urinating in more, so that more mineral salts and other compounds are eliminated for our body.

If you have drunk too much alcohol and you begin to feel some of the most annoying, painful and uncomfortable hangover symptoms, a useful option is to know how to relieve hangovers naturally, with completely natural advice. We tell you the most recommended:

1. Fasting takes warm water with lemon

The warm water with lemon, taken on an empty stomach, is an excellent detoxifying remedy, which helps you eliminate toxins and impurities that have accumulated in your body as a consequence of the abusive consumption of alcohol. In addition, you will find it useful to regulate your metabolism effectively.

On the other hand, it's interesting to prevent -and avoid- the action of free radicals, thanks to its antioxidant action. To make the lemon water hot you just have to put the equivalent of a glass of water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, wash an organic or organic lemon well, cut it in half and squeeze it to obtain its juice. When the water boils removed from the water, serve in a glass or cup and let it cool a bit. Finally add the lemon and baby juice.

First opt for a large glass of water to provide fluids to your body. Then opt for a grapefruit or tomato juice, whole grains or toast with honey.

You can also choose a energizing breakfast. In this case it is based on the following foods: an orange or tomato juice sweetened with honey, a small bowl of cereals or dried fruits (such as dates, dried figs, raisins or dried apricots) and two raw eggs.

Since alcohol consumption causes dehydration, one of the basic objectives for relieve and treat the hangover we find it in again to hydrate the body. In this sense you can opt for wonderful soups with rehydrating action, which help precisely to provide hydration to the body. We propose two delicious recipes:

Garlic soup recipe

To make this soup you need 6 slices of bread, 3 cloves of garlic, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, water and salt. It is as simple as putting a clay pot on the fire with a little olive oil. Peel the garlic and cut into small pieces, adding them to the pan when the oil is very hot. Let them brown. While the bread is sliced thin, and mix with the oil and garlic. In a separate saucepan add water and let boil for a few minutes. Add the hot water to the casserole, to serve very hot.

4. Medicinal infusions with rehydrating action

In addition to the soups and broths mentioned above, you can also choose certain medicinal infusions that will help you reduce the most annoying symptoms of hangover:

Chamomile infusion

It is an interesting infusion for its gastric and digestive qualities. To make it you only need a teaspoon of dry chamomile flowers and the equivalent of a cup of water. Put the water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Before it begins to boil add the chamomile, and leave boiling for 3 minutes. After this time turn off the heat, cover and let rest another 2 minutes.

Infusion of pennyroyal

Like chamomile, pennyroyal is interesting in case of hangover because of its carminative qualities (helps to expel gases), soothes stomach pain and also stimulates the liver.
