Tis the season...yep, the season for Hangovers! ;)

Hope you all enjoyed your New Years Eve and are gearing up for some more hardcore partying in Vegas in just a few days.

To help with the inevitable, here are some hangover remedies:

---------------
Have a large glass of grapefruit juice, and eat some honey. The grapefruit is a liver tonic, and the honey helps your body burn off the alcohol still in your system faster.

Drink bouillon. Broth made from bouillon cubes or any homemade soup broth will help replace the salt and potassium your body loses when you drink.

Replenish your water supply. Drinking plenty of water before you go to bed and again when you get up in the morning may help relieve discomfort caused by dehydration.

Take B-complex vitamins, vitamin C and zinc before drinking, and again in the morning to replace what you lose when you overindulge. Research shows your system turns to B vitamins when it is under stress - and overtaxing your body with too much booze, beer, or wine definitely qualifies as stress!

Bark back. Willow bark tablets are a natural alternative if you'd like an herbal pain reliever. It contains a form of salicylate, the active ingredient in aspirin.

Don't reach for a coffee. Caffeine is a diuretic and will rob your body of even more water and nutrients. Try a sports drink instead, to replace electrolytes and give you energy.

Sip herb tea. Chamomile and peppermint tea are good stomach settlers. Aloe vera juice neutralises excess stomach acid and soothes an irritated gastrointestinal tract.

Go for the carbohydrates. As you start to feel a bit stronger, nibble on a tiny bit of dry toast. Then graduate to light protein, like chicken breast or a soft-boiled egg. Fatty foods are the last thing you need!

Spice up your life. Ginger is one of the most effective natural remedies for nausea and indigestion. Take tablets or capsules, or as a tea.

The herbs milk thistle and dandelion may help; they are traditional livertonics. Activated charcoal tablets are great for getting rid of excess wind and a 'sour' stomach.

Soothe a throbbing head with an ice pack; or, soak cottonwool pads in cooled chamomile tea and place them on your eyelids.

Breathe deep. For nausea, try putting 4 drops each of lavender and sandalwood essential oils on a hanky, and inhaling the scent.

Press your luck. Try the ancient Chinese art of acupressure for nausea.

Apply rapid massaging pressure to the webbing between your thumb and index finger on either hand for several minutes.

Take a swim or a brisk walk in the fresh air.
---------------

Wishing you and yours a healthy and prosperous new year!!
