Hangover.. How to get over it and fast!

With the holiday weekend upon us - many of us will over-indulge on Margaritas, Sangria, Beer and Wine.

But what do you do to ward off that dreaded hangover?


Some natural remedies I've come across to try out yourself:

1. Honey. Studies have shown that it can speed the body's metabolism of alcohol.

2. Lime & Sugar Water. Ayurvedic cure to help stabilize blood sugar surges.

3. Pear juice + green tea

4. Daikon (radish) juice.

5. Watermelon Juice - alcohol is very warm and watermelon juice has a cooling quality that tames that tummy fire.

6. Grapefruit - cooling food

Additional Remedies:
WATER WATER WATER (before, during and esp after!)
Vitamin B supplement (before and after)
Sleep - sure fire way to get through it.

*Never take Tylenol when drinking... it is shown to cause serious liver damage.

What is your hangover cure? I love folk remedies and learning from other people's experiences.

Have a safe and festive 4th of July.
