* Drinking water – a good rule of thumb is to have one glass of water for every drink you consume. You can also make a point to order drinks that have ice (“on the rocks”) so that the ice melts and dilutes your drink, keeping you slightly more hydrated than if you hadn’t ordered ice with your drink.
* [[Artichoke]]s : Thanks to their positive effects on the liver, many people swear by artichokes as a hangover treatment. Instead of the hair of the dog, try the leaves of an artichoke.
* [[Lemon]]s help ease a nasty hangover : This will help restore your normal pH levels, replenish your body’s water stores and replace the vitamin C which you so obviously need.
* [[Asparagus]] extract may help alleviate alcohol-induced hangovers and shield liver cells from the toxic effects of alcohol consumption, suggests a preliminary study published in the Journal of Food Science in 2009. For the study, researchers tested the effects of extracts of asparagus shoots and leaves on human liver cells. Their findings indicate that asparagus extract may help rev up activity in enzymes involved in breaking down alcohol.
* [[Ginseng]] : Take about 1000 mg to 3000 mg of ginseng before the party. You will be able to support the effect of alcohol better and your mind will be more focused without having to resort to a cup of coffee. Ginseng also helps the liver in its job to neutralize the toxic agents in alcohol. Ginseng accelerates the decomposition and the elimination of alcohol. But note that you must not take ginseng just before bed, else sleep will take a long time to arrive because the plant has a stimulating effect on the nervous system.
* [[Dates]] are commonly used as a remedy for alcoholic intoxication. Dates provide quick relief and have a sobering effect in case you feel as though have consumed an uncomfortable amount of alcohol. They can also be used the following morning to prevent severe hangovers. They should be rubbed and soaked overnight for the best results.
* [[Nopal Cactus]] : Taking prickly pear cactus before drinking alcohol might reduce some symptoms of hangover the next day. It seems to significantly reduce nausea, anorexia, and dry mouth. But it doesn’t seem to reduce other hangover symptoms such as headache, dizziness, diarrhea, or soreness.
*[[Kudzu]] is used for Symptoms of alcohol hangover (headache, upset stomach, dizziness and vomiting).
* [[Şalgam Suyu]]
* [[Bors]]
