If the holiday was a success. What tea will help restore vigor and well-being?

There is a saying: As much as it is “good” in the evening, it is “bad” in the morning. It happens that, having “let yourself go” with a cheerful evening feast, the next day you can get unpleasant sensations caused by a hangover.

Let’s make a reservation right away. If the symptoms of alcohol intoxication are dangerous (heart pain, vomiting, severe weakness, shortness of breath, asthma attacks, severe pain, severe tremors, yellowing of the skin, etc.), it is better to immediately seek qualified medical help. This is a separate topic, and here we will not discuss ways to relieve a severe hangover using medications.

In this article we will talk about the “soft” return of the body to a normal state and relieving the unpleasant symptoms of a hangover (headache, mild nausea, thirst (dry), pain, weakness). And here there is just something to discuss.

First of all, it must be said that feeling unwell after drinking alcohol “in excess” is the result of poisoning. This is a natural reaction. Alcohol that has entered the body has broken down into toxic substances, metabolism and acid-base balance are disrupted, and fluid is improperly distributed (edema).

Relieving a hangover means helping to remove residual alcohol and accumulated harmful substances from the body and normalize its functions. To do this quickly and effectively, it is necessary to flush the system, so to speak. That is why, after waking up, the body gives a clear signal – you really want to drink.

Of course, with a hangover you can drink water, juice, mineral water, brine, finally… and whatever else comes to hand… But it’s worth figuring it out and knowing how useful tea can be.

How is tea good for hangovers?

Tea is an excellent remedy that can restore the body after the last feast. Fresh, properly brewed tea can:

• replenish water balance to remove toxins from the body and relieve headaches;

• relieve nausea and stomach cramps (warm tea has a calming effect);

• stimulate sweating, which also helps eliminate toxins;

• have a tonic effect, i.e. invigorate, raise vitality;

• improve blood circulation, normalize blood pressure;

• stimulate the heart and nervous system;

• replenish the lack of vitamins and microelements;

• boost energy by adding honey or sugar.
  

What tea is best to drink for a hangover?

I will list the types of tea that I had to use to recover from “yesterday”, in descending order of their effectiveness. This is my personal experience and I do not claim anything…

1st place: Green tea

Filled with a huge amount of useful substances (about 500 useful components). It has a good restorative effect, increases performance, and “clears the head.” Replenishes potassium reserves in the body, helping to improve heart function. Reduces swelling due to its diuretic effect.

2nd place: Hibiscus

Not a bad option for a hangover. Contains many antioxidants and substances that have a beneficial effect on the heart and blood vessels, relieves spasms, speeds up metabolism and removes harmful substances from the body well.

I would like to add that hibiscus tea has an excellent refreshing taste.

3rd place: Black tea

Useful, invigorating due to the caffeine content, but not effective in comparison with other options for treating a hangover. It’s better to drink it later, when it becomes easier.

4th place: Herbal tea

You can brew both individual herbs and mixtures. You can choose your own herbal tea. Common herbs that have a calming, slightly analgesic and relaxing effect include mint (relieves nausea), linden, chamomile, and thyme.

In conclusion, let me remind you that any of the teas listed should be drunk not strong, freshly brewed, warm and in reasonable quantities.What tea do you prefer to drink when you have a hangover?
