If you had a rough night last night, you might see signs that your body is overly toxic – like headaches and nausea. See how to kick the hangover blues by giving your liver a little TLC.

Time can cure just about anything, but sometimes hangovers can be so bad you don’t want to wait it out. The trick is to aid your liver to help in the detoxification process, so you can go back to feeling like yourself again.

First, let’s understand what hangovers really are, and why you might be prone to waking up with one so often.

Why Hangovers Happen

A hangover is more than awful feelings. They are the experience of your body struggling to dispel the toxic overload from a night of alcohol, disrupted circadian rhythm and excess adrenal stimulation.

Worse than a headache and dehydration, a hangover is a sure sign that your immune system, digestive tract and organs are taking a hit. When the liver struggles to remove and filter out the excessive toxins from a night of too much fun, we experience blood sugar roller coaster rides and fatigue.

6 Natural Hangover Remedies

There are actually a few great alternatives to alcohol I’ll mention later on in this article. But before that, if you are reading this because you’re in the midst of it, here are a few tips on relieving the discomfort.

Because a hangover is essentially an overly toxic body, the real key to remedying a hangover is going to be supporting the detoxification process and aiding the liver.

Here are a few ways this can be achieved:

1. Skip the Aspirin

It’s common for someone to take an over-the-counter pain reliever when they are hungover; however, I do not recommend this. While they may provide some temporary relief, they actually cause damage to the liver in the long run. Additionally, while pain may subside, it is replaced with a lingering numbness, not a sense of revitalization and renewal.

Try this little exercise instead: Locate the pain or discomfort in your body, and instead of trying to mask it, do the opposite and confront it. For example, if your head hurts, actually focus on your head, bring attention there and see if you can actually feel it more.

This helps in two ways. First, by bringing your attention to the area you will actually promote blood flow there and support the body’s natural healing process. Second, by feeling it more consciously, you will have more of a sense of control over your situation.

There are also more natural painkillers you can use, such as fresh ginger and turmeric. Make a tea using these with lemon balm or kava kava as a base.

2. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate

Dilution is the solution to pollution. As we learned, a hangover is just the body’s way of letting us know it is overburdened.

Water is nature’s solvent. Not only will drinking enough water help your body clear out toxins, it will also hydrate a dehydrated and hungover body.

If you’re sick of drinking plain water, try stirring up one of these 5 infused water recipes!

3. Drink Coconut Kefir

This probiotic beverage is made from raw coconut water. Because it is fermented, it contains little to no sugar, which makes it superior to plain raw coconut water for many reasons. Too much sugar can actually dehydrate the body and feed pathogens.

One of the first things to do when remedying a hangover is to get hydrated. From there, helping the liver detox is key. Probiotics are detoxifiers. They help the body eliminate toxins in the liver, kidneys and digestive tract. Getting probiotics in the form of a food is best.

Coconut kefir is an all-in-one remedy, since it holistically works to hydrate the body with its mineral content, aid detoxification with probiotics and also replenishes B vitamins, which are often lost during alcohol consumption/ This will help alkalize the body, provide powerful enzymes and probiotics, and support the liver and intestinal tract for detoxification.

Tip: For an even better hangover remedy, take a shot containing two ounces of coconut kefir and one ounce of wheatgrass.

4. Take a Detox Bath

Taking a hot bath with mineral salts or Epsom salt is a great way to aid the detoxification process. The magnesium in Epsom salt is a great natural muscle relaxer and also aids in the detoxification process. Light a few candles, dim the lights and play some relaxing music or even nature sounds to upgrade the experience.

Nothing heals quite like pure relaxation; this is why sleep is so healing! When we are resting, our body has its greatest opportunity to regain equilibrium and achieve homeostasis, during which the body releases self-repair enzymes and hormones.

Detox baths are great, too, because there are endless ways to upgrade their detoxification and healing properties.

Try soothing lavender essential oil, vitamin C powder, dried kelp powder, or add something spicy like ginger, cayenne powder, mustard or even wasabi. Anything hot or spicy will stimulate the detoxification process, increasing circulation and blood flow.

The liver is responsible for the blood and circulation. When the liver is detoxifying, it needs good blood flow to properly remove metabolic wastes.

5. Sweat it Out

If you have access to an infrared sauna, you could take this route for stimulating the detoxification process. This is helpful for a few reasons. The first is the obvious: sweating. This is a great way to help expel toxins, but the most effective way to do that is actually via the colon and lungs.

However, saunas are great, because they don’t just promote sweating, they get you breathing, too. A good session in a sauna is actually as good as decent exercise, and can help promote healing as well.

Tip: I would advise against using a sauna early in the day. Try one of the first few suggestions here, and then work your way up to the sauna for additional support.

6. Make a Healthy Swap

Finally, if you are going to drink, remember this rule of thumb: the poison is in the dose. Hard liquor and commercial beer are usually exceptionally high in alcohol and additional toxins; this is usually the cause of most of the destruction in drinking them.

Fortunately, there are some healthier options. For example, instead of beer, opt for a local kombucha beer. These are unpasteurized, raw and contain beneficial bacteria as well as B vitamins. Though they contain higher amounts of alcohol and should still be consumed conservatively, they are higher in quality, lower in toxins and provide some nutritional benefits, to boot.

You can also avoid the morning-after headache by reaching for a Paleo mocktail instead of your go-to cocktail. It’s healthier, and arguably tastier!

What is the Best Way to Eliminate Shingles Naturally?

Eliminate Shingles Naturally – How Shingles Can Make You Blind (Strong Warning!)

Shingles are horrible. The itch, the pain, the discomfort, and sometimes the months of aftereffects.

Blindness is not on the risk list most of us make for ourselves.

But we should, according to a new study published in La Revue de Medecine Interne, or the French Journal of Internal Medicine. Blindness caused by shingles is much more common than you think.

In a review of the literature on the relationship between viral infections and eye diseases, they found that herpes viruses were the most common culprits, primarily because they reoccur over time.

Herpes simplex, the virus that remains dormant in our bodies and repeatedly reactivates to cause fever blisters, is the greatest risk because it reactivates so often.

But herpes zoster, the chickenpox virus that lies dormant in our bodies and later manifests as shingles, is not far behind.

Between 10% and 20% of all shingles cases occur in or near the eyes.

Because the virus travels along neural pathways, you can often feel it traveling in a line up or down your body on one side before a rash appears.

When it involves the eyes, the rash and blisters most commonly appear on your forehead, on the tip of your nose, and on your eyelids. This happens because some of the nerves that serve your eyes, and through which the virus can travel, run through these regions.

You may also experience headaches, eye pain, redness, eye watering, blurry vision, and sensitivity to light.

The danger of this condition is that it can cause inflammation of your cornea, a condition called keratitis, which happens to be the most common cause of blindness in the world.

If your cornea remains inflamed, its cells can start to die and scar tissue can form. Since the cornea is the transparent layer that forms the front of your eye, scar tissue causes your cornea to become opaque and will block light from passing through. This is when blindness occurs.

Uveitis is another common consequence of eye shingles. This is inflammation of the uvea, which is the pigmented layer of your eye that lies beneath your sclera and cornea, on top of your retina. Inflammation can cause scar tissue here too.

Your retina, which is the layer of light-sensitive cells at the back of your eye that trigger the nerve impulses sent to your brain, is also in the firing line.

If these cells become inflamed, they can also die, in a condition experts call retinal necrosis. This will cause you to lose your light vision.

Possibly because the nerves in and around your eyes are so close to your brain, the scientists found that eye shingles pose a stroke risk in the first year after the episode. During this period, people with eye shingles have a 4.3 times higher risk of stroke than other shingles patients.

If your immune system is weakened, you have an autoimmune disease, you are female, or you’re above 50 years of age, you carry the greatest risk that shingles will move into your eyes. But everyone is at great risk.

The bottom line is that you absolutely must treat your shingles as quickly as possible to avoid these and other dire consequences. Here is the exact protocol thousands of readers have used to eliminate their shingles in days…

Eliminate Shingles Naturally – Strange Shingles and Diabetes Connection

Shingles is not just a skin rash—it can become extremely painful with pain that lasts for years. As you know, it is caused by the varicella-zoster (chickenpox) virus.

Type-2 diabetes is an inflammatory disease that spikes blood sugar levels.

What could these two possibly have in common?

A lot, according to a new study published in the journal Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice. And treating one disease can help with the other.

In the past, numerous studies have established that diabetes can increase our risk of infectious diseases. In a 2018 edition of BMC Infectious Diseases, for example, a Canadian study concluded that people with diabetes were 21% more likely than people with healthy glucose processing to suffer from any infection—especially skin and soft tissue infections, as well as genitourinary (in the genital and urinary organs), gastrointestinal, and respiratory infections.

Shingles, which is caused by a reactivation of the herpes zoster virus that lies dormant in our bodies, is an infectious disease, so a lot of research has been done in the past on the relationship between diabetes and shingles.

This prompted a team of French researchers to do a review of the available literature to see whether diabetes poses an increased risk for shingles and shingles complications.

They searched medical databases for studies on the relationship between the two that were published between January 2000 and December 2018 in French and English. They found 16 relevant studies of sufficiently high quality.

Of these, 11 reported that people with diabetes were more likely to develop shingles as adults, although the exact magnitude of the risk differed between studies, with some studies finding an increased risk of 6% and others finding a risk elevated by 138%.

The shingles risk was higher for women than for men and increased with age.

Not only was the risk of shingles higher for people with diabetes, but their shingles also frequently presented with complications not experienced by people without diabetes.

Postherpetic neuralgia is the most common debilitating complication of shingles, a burning pain in the skin and nerve fibers that can last for years after the rash and blisters disappear.

The literature review also found that post-herpetic neuralgia was more common in diabetes patients than in the rest of the population.

But anyone who had chickenpox as a child can develop shingles. And if you have it (or the aftereffects), it’s more important to ask how you can heal. Fortunately, there are simple steps, explained here, that you can take to get rid of shingles in days…

And if you have type-2 diabetes, shingles is probably the least of your worries. Use these three steps to permanently reverse type-2 diabetes, starting today…

Eliminate Shingles Naturally – Curing This Disease Causes Shingles

The problem with modern medicine is that when doctors try to cure one disease with medication, it causes side effects that can lead to another disease.

According to a new study, this is exactly the case with shingles.

Shingles occurs when the herpes zoster virus, after lying dormant in your body, reactivates and causes painful blisters.

You are most at risk when your immune system is compromised, as it then cannot stop virus reactivation.

A new study in the journal Cancer has just shown how, for example, radiation therapy for cancer puts us at risk of shingles.

The researchers mined data from a Japanese institutional cancer registry and medical records between 2011 and 2015. They identified 17,655 cancer patients whom they divided into a radiation therapy group and a non-radiation therapy group.

They could then compare them to see who would go on to develop shingles.

In the first year after the beginning of the radiation therapy, 2.1% and 0.7% of radiation therapy and non-radiation therapy patients, respectively, developed shingles.

After two years these percentages were 3.0% versus 1.0%, after three years 3.4% versus 1.3%, after four years 4.1% versus 1.7%, and after five years 4.4% versus 1.8%.

This shows clearly that a larger percentage of radiation therapy patients suffered from shingles than the non-radiation therapy patients did.

The researchers concluded that radiation therapy patients were 2.5 times more likely to have shingles than the non-radiation therapy patients did.

When they looked at the location of the shingles outbreaks, they found that these were often at or very close to the site where the radiation therapy was applied.
