Read about hangover symptoms, why too much alcohol strains your body, and how to replenish it naturally. By Antje Wirth
Why the Grogginess?
Alcohol is a diuretic making your body produce more urine, causing dehydration and the loss of valuable vitamins and minerals. In addition, alcohol expands the blood vessels in your body, increases stomach acids, and may trigger the blood sugar level to fall. Too much alcohol, particularly drinks darker in color like red wine and bourbon, contribute to headaches, stomach pain, nausea, a dry mouth and sensitive eyes, as well as trembling, dizziness, and weakened performance.
Soothe & Boost
After a night of overdoing it, it is important to take good care of your body. Homeopathic remedies help break down the alcohol, relieve stomach pressure, and alleviate headaches. They decrease sensitivities to light and noise, shivering, uneasiness, and restlessness. One of the homeopathically prepared ingredients in Hangover Relief, the kola nut pictured above, provides a boost of energy, promotes appetite and digestion, relaxes and invigorates.
