Simple Homemade Hangover Remedies

"I will never drink again!" Who hasn't said that after haven been drinking the night before, and woke up the next morning with a thumping headache and a stomach rolling around like a roller coaster. You may have enjoyed the drinking, but the hangover the next morning is not fun. Here are some natural Homemade Hangover Remedies to help you cure the hangover.

What to do after the fact

1. A perfect homemade hangover remedy is to drink two large glasses of milk (avoid drinking water at this stage as it may cause you to become drunk again) as soon as you get up to get rid of any dehydration.

2. As soon you have overcome the queasiness, make a nice, hot bowl of chicken soup. This soup will help replace salts and potassium, the body loses salt and potassium when you have been drinking.

3. Get Clean, seriously- take a shower, brush your teeth, etc. being and FEELING clean will do wonders

4. Get active. Though you'll want to stay under the covers, take a quick walk around your street. A walk by the sea is thought to be especially helpful, possibly because of the fresh air, or the calming ocean sound or probably cause it'll blow away all the cobwebs. You could even take your dog who has had hardly any sleep all night, because you came back around 3am, talking at the top of your voice.

5. Fruit is good. It helps restore nutrition, especially bananas, which contain potassium.

6. If you have some fruit, which you know you should have, you can make a homemade hangover remedy of a fruit juice drink. It will contains simple sugar fructose, which speeds up the metabolism of alcohol.

What to do before-(prevention is better than cure)

* One trick to try - remember to drink a glass of water for every 1 or 2 drinks.

* Do not take ibuprofen or tylenol before going to bed. These drugs are activated and metabolized by the liver which, while busy processing the alcohol in your blood, can be damaged by the drugs.

* Drinking lots of liquid will help prevent dehydration but Grape juice is not recommended, however. It's rough coming back up.)

* Hangovers are due to the loss of vitamins/nutrients in the body. To reduce this, try to take some multi-vitamins before you go to bed and once again when you wake up. And drink water...lots of water.

* If you find that you can not keep anything down, wait about an hour after you vomit to give your stomach time to settle. Then nibble on saltine crackers and sip Vernors or any other ginger ale. Works every time!

* Try eating a cracker or an english muffin with honey before you retire for the night. The high fructose level in the honey will break down the alcohol in your blood, allowing it to be processed more quickly.

* Not really sure if this is a homemade hangover remedy but it's definitely Irish and that is to eat a breakfast sandwich! They work wonders, if it contains eggs. Eggs contain enzymes that combat the toxic by-products of alcohol being metabolized by the liver.

Oh and one that definitely doesn't come under the term Homemade Hangover Remedies to have a bit of the "hair of the dog"....because the dog will bite again....and again.....and again......

Best of Luck
