About Hangover
The term hangover is most commonly used to describe the symptoms you may experience after drinking a large amount of alcohol. Most people get hangover symptoms after drinking large quantities of alcohol, even those who are not generally considered to be heavy drinkers. The symptoms of a hangover include: tiredness, headache, sensitivity to light and noise, general muscle aches, nausea and vomiting, mild diarrhea, shakiness and tremors, thirst, red eyes.
Western Medicine View
Treatment of hangovers involves rehydrating the body and dealing with the painful symptoms. Over-the-counter analgesics will help to cope with the pain of headaches and muscle cramps. Paracetamol-based remedies are preferable as aspirin may further irritate the stomach and increase nausea and sickness. There is evidence to suggest that fructose, a natural sugar found in fruit juice and honey, helps the body to process alcohol faster. Bouillon soup, a thin vegetable-based broth, is also a good source of vitamins and minerals (including salt and potassium), to top up the bodys depleted resources.
Alcohol causes dehydration, as the body loses salt and minerals. You can replace these by drinking plenty of bland liquids such as water and soda water. Some isotonic drinks are now available in most shops, which replace lost salt in the body.
