Eggs? It’s a no brainer really. There’s nothing like crisp fried eggs after a night out on the town but there’s more to why you feel better after an egg or two the next day. Eggs contain cysteine that works to break down acetaldehyde, which is one of the main perpetrators of a hangover. We recommend any of these recipes, they’re sure to get you back up and running in no time.

Give your hangover the boot with a good dose of milk thistle. Used for centuries in herbal medicine, milk thistle primarily is used for detoxing the liver, which is exactly what you need after a night out. Take one before going out and again in the morning. The active ingredient, silymarin, is believed to act as an antioxidant that protects and repairs the liver. Perhaps prevention really is the best cure.

Long before it became the hipster/gym junkie staple, true partiers have long known the positive effects of coconut water on quashing nasty hangovers. First reported by Time Magazine, the U.N’s Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) released a study that found that coconut water contains the same five electrolytes found in human blood, where as most sports drinks like Gatorade only contain two. Drinking excessively causes major havoc on your body but your hangover is mainly due to the fact that alcohol dehydrates the body. Not only is coconut water hydrating, it also tastes way better than boring old water.

It’s probably not the first thing you’d feel like after a big night but don’t worry, you don’t have to eat it to alleviate that pounding headache and nausea. Rather, it’s recommended that you infuse it in a hot bath. Not only does the steam help you sweat out the toxins, the wasabi works magic on your circulatory system as well as removing cellular waste from metabolic processes while promoting oxygenation of your traumatised cells. We recommend this wasabi detox bath treatment the next time you’re regretting that final glass of Champagne.

Again, it’s probably the last thing you’d feel like after one too many tequila shots but science firmly backs this after a study released in 2009 in the Journal of Food Science stating that the amino acids and minerals found in the green fronds actually help to protect and repair liver cells against toxins like alcohol. The study recommends the more potent version of the vegetable by taking an extract but we’re sure this recipe wouldn’t hurt either.
