A hangover is caused by a combination of dehydration, vitamin depletion and the toxic byproducts created when your body is trying to break down the alcohol.
A hangover generally won?t stop until the alcohol is out of your system, but there are things you can do to can help take the edge off it.
Before heading out and during your night out make sure you drink plenty of water to help lessen the effects of dehydration and prevent you from consuming too much alcohol. Carbonated drinks like soft drinks and champagne make your body absorb the alcohol faster, try to avoid using fizzy drinks as mixers and have juice instead.
Taking a B vitamin supplement will help to clear toxins and calm a shaky nervous system the next day, try taking one before you start drinking and then again the next morning.
Eating a good meal before you start to drink, can help to top up your vitamin reserves and slow the absorption of alcohol.
Foods containing Cysteine, an amino acid found in eggs, meat, red peppers, oats and milk help to detoxify acetaldehyde ?a byproduct of alcohol that is a major cause of hangovers. This is why a fry up can make you feel better the next morning. Although having a healthy meal containing these ingredients is probably better for you in the long run, poached eggs or porridge are good choices.
Have a fresh orange juice with your eggs or porridge in the morning, this contains vitamin C which can help speed up the metabolism of alcohol, plus adding some ginger can help settle your stomach.
A banana and honey smoothie is another great option to help kick the hangover. Bananas are rich in the important electrolytes, magnesium and potassium, which are severely depleted during heavy drinking. Banana also helps calm the stomach, and with the honey, builds up the depleted blood sugar levels, giving you some energy. The milk soothes the stomach and re-hydrates your system.
Avoid coffee which can further dehydrate you and pain killers which can add extra burden to your liver and upset your stomach.

- Which is the best oil for hair growth and thickness?Apr 22, 2021Thank you Emiliano for your comment. In this blog we are referring more to oils, more so than butters and while we agree with you Shea is an excellent emollient for hair, it's consistency is more buttery and it is used more as a leave-in remedy to smooth hair texture. We have suggested Coconut oil as it helps slow down hair loss by penetrating deep into your hair shaft to prevent protein loss, which in turn prevents breakage. When applied to your scalp, it simultaneously moisturises and removes build-up around your hair follicles to encourage hair growth and is one of base oils always used in Ayurveda for hair treatments. As this post is more focused for hair and not for skin, the comedogenic scale applies to skin/pores and not hair follicles. Thank you again for your feedback.
- Which is the best oil for hair growth and thickness?Apr 22, 2021Hello Zu, yes hair loss can be very stressful and this in turn amplifies the cause almost.. Perhaps with Covid, your system may have been depleted of nutrients and fighting the virus can take its toll on your immune system, so sometimes our hair and skin suffer when we have been ill. We really believe in oils for scalp massage as the best way to revive the growth and help regenerate the follicles. It may be also worth at looking at internal supplements and making sure you are getting enough of omega oils, perhaps plant based such as nuts and seeds in your diet. For external oil treatment, would recommend the Really Good Hair oil which we create with Brahmi, this herb is known to help bring the scalp back to health and improve growth. Biotin is also a good vitamin to take as a supplement to help with hair growth so do look into that. So hope these tips will be helpful for you.
- Which is the best oil for hair growth and thickness?Apr 22, 2021I, am very surprised that your article did not include Organic Shea Butter and that coconut oil, is your number one choice for hair growth and thickness. According to the comedogenic scale, coconut oil, has a rating of (4), on a scale from (0), to (5), on clogging your pores. Why would anyone put coconut oil, on their hair or skin knowing the pores will get clogged up. Shea Butter, on the other hand has a (0), rating on the comedogenic scale, which is great for dry hair and skin and won't clog up your pores.
- Which is the best oil for hair growth and thickness?Mar 29, 2021Thank you for your very informative article. I suffered COVID in December, 2020, and in February I started experience extreme hair loss and all my hair jus falls like a person who is under going Chemo therapy. It's very depressing. Had to cut off all my hair and even the little that is left is falling off daily not sure what to do. Please suggest something.
- Carrot Oil for Face Mar 15, 2021Hello :) You can use carrot oil only in small drops on your skin in the morning/during the day since it is highly potent. Carrot oil is rich in vitamins and is a very effective moisturiser. You can also mix a few drops of Carrot Oil with your favorite face cream. You can do that at least twice a week or include it in your daily skincare routine. Hope this helps.
- Carrot Oil for Face Mar 15, 2021Can I use the carrot oil in the day time? Because I am using Vitamin c serum in the night. Please advise. Thanks
