It’s happened. The damage has already been done. There’s no use feeling guilty about falling off the health wagon now. But it’s a new day and it’s not too late to start thinking about getting back on the straight and narrow.
If last night’s party antics have left you with a banging headache, a seriously sluggish feeling and a dodgy tum, we’re here to help. These natural hangover remedies will get you feeling like new again in no time.
1 The hydrator
Unless you’re super-sensible and remembered to down a pint of water between every mulled wine or bellini last night, chances are you’re dehydrated. Cue headaches, weakness and exhaustion. Fountain Of Youth – a completely natural coconut water – is packed with electrolytes that’ll rehydrate you quicker than water. Get chugging!

2 The decongestant
If your temples are still pumping to the beat of last night’s heavy tunes, you need something to clear your head, pronto. Rub a little – just a little! –Tiger Balm White Ointment onto your forehead and temples to wake yourself up and feel fresh and ready to go in an instant.

3 The nausea-buster
Spent most of the morning hanging around the loos? A dodgy tummy the day after a big night out is no fun – hangover days should be spent eating delicious brunches and gossiping with the girls! Ginger is a surefire way to stop nausea in its tracks, so sip on Pukka Three Ginger tea to help ease your tummy.

4 The detoxifier
We know it feels like the last thing you want to do right now, but hitting the gym could help you sweat that hangover out. But you will be dehydrated, so make sure you’re getting plenty of H2O, since sweating is going to dehydrate you even more. Don’t overdo it, either – Bikram yoga or CrossFit might not be the wisest choice when you’re feeling rough.
5 The liver cleanser
So you’ve abused your poor old liver a little lately. Well, now’s the time to show it some love. Nature’s Answer Milk Thistle Seed tincture is easy to use (just take 1-2ml three times a day in water) and contains a bioflavonoid complex that protects the liver from damage.

6 The alkaliser
Want to have the time of your life, but not pay the price the next day? We can’t guarantee that, but a potent greens drink like Amazing Grass Wheat Grass Powder will give you a massive antioxidant dose, help to cleanse your system of all those nasties and alkalise your body, all in one tiny little shot.

7 The stomach soother
ProVen Adult Probiotics Plus comes in a handy sachet to make up a tropical drink. It’ll sort your digestion right out if your stomach’s in knots, which is likely if you hit the booze a little too hard and followed it with a dodgy end-of-the-evening kebab. Oops.
£10.95, proven probiotics.co.uk
8 The energiser
Feeling sluggish and tired? No surprises there! Support all-round health with a much-needed dose of vitamins. Quest Vitamins Super Once A Day are packed with folic acid, iron and B vits to tackle fatigue and breathe a little new life into your day.

9 The wellness booster
Is there anything yoga can’t do? A quick flow sequence can sort you right out the morning after according to Yotopia’s Caroline Tautz (yotopia.co.uk). ‘Sun salutations, using the breath, oxygenate the brain. Combined with stretching and moving, this speeds up the detox process by boosting circulation and metabolism. Twisting postures also help to detox the liver.’
