Strain this after boiling it for ten minutes; add some lemon and honey and drink.

Thyme

Thyme is an excellent herb for making a hangover remedy. Simple boil 4-5 thyme leaves in 2 cups of water and make herbal tea. Leave the mixture on heat for five minutes. Strain the leaves and remove them before drinking this herbal tea remedy.

Increase liquid intake

Prevention is better than cure so the day of your party or get-together, make sure you drink a lot of liquids. This hangover remedy works if you consume more than your usual intake of alcohol. A hangover is the result of your body being dehydrated, and the extra liquid helps to counter that dehydration. So drink lots of liquids to make up for the loss of water due to excessive alcohol intake.

Have a Meal Before Drinking

Here is a preventative measure – remember to take a large meal before you go out to celebrate. The food will absorb the alcohol and lessen the effects of drunkenness, lessening the chances of waking up with a raging hangover the next morning.

Vitamin C

Taking in lots of vitamin C is a good cure for hangover. Drink lots of juice rich in vitamin C, such as orange, grapefruit and other citrus juices. This will perform the dual function of increasing the liquid content in your body while replenishing your vitamin supplies and making you more active. Drink large amounts of juice and perform exercises to increase your physical mobility.

Mineral Rich Food

Intake of mineral rich food is a great hangover remedy. Take pickled food and canned fish to increase your mineral content. Have bananas to restore potassium in your body. This will speed up your recovery and replenish the mineral reserves in your body.

There is a home remedy for almost every health condition. Did you ever thought you'd find a hangover remedy to treat yourself with? As we say it, Mother Nature has a cure for everything.
