The Best Free Home Remedy for Hangovers

Let's say you partied too much last night, which is no big deal. Yet your body doesn't agree. You have come across what millions have dubbed as the common hangover and what is medically known as veisalgia. A hangover is caused by the dehydrating effects produced by ethanol alcohol. This causes several unwanted side effects. These home remedies will help lessen the pain from a fun night out.

From Apples to Cabbage

• Homeremediesforyou.com suggests, "Eat a few spoonfuls of honey every hour to negate fluctuations in alcohol levels." Or mash up a banana, milk and honey to try and put minerals back in the body. Also try mixing ginger root in a cup of tea to settle the stomach or chewing a piece of cabbage to get rid of your headache.

Water

• We have an abundance of one certain hangover cure; water. Drinking water before bed and between drinks can help rehydrate the body, thus relieving many unwanted side effects. According to naturalhelathlifestyles.com, one very common mistake is taking acetaminophen or any painkiller with that particular ingredient before bed. It can prolong the alcohol in your body, and it can be potentially harmful to your liver.

A Spoonful of Vinegar Helps the Medicine Go Down

• Another helpful tip from homeremediesforyou.com, is "take a tablespoon of vinegar, put it into a cup of warm water, and drink it immediately." According to an article written by Kassidy Emmerson it will also help lessen the headache. She also suggests ginseng to get your body feeling better. Avoid coffee, as it can subside some of the nausea provided by a hangover.

Avoid Pills

• A lot of hangover remedies come in pill form and are sold as over-the-counter medications. However, they aren't proven to be any better than the items you can find in your home. The most suggested remedy is simple hydration.
