3 ways to remedy a wine headache

Waking up after having drunk just a few glasses of wine the night before, you’re pretty surprised to have pains around your temples, around your eye sockets and feeling groggy and slow. Sometimes, you don’t even drink that much and still wake up with a bad head! Here are three tips can help you to prevent a wine headache.

Drink a glass of water with every glass of wine

The most common mistake that wine drinkers make is hydration. It’s easy to forget because you are drinking already. When we drink alcohol, we begin to pull water from every inch of our body in order to help our liver flush out the toxin. If we aren’t drinking water in addition to our booze consumption, our body sucks up whatever water it can find, so we tend to become dehydrated much faster, and therefore develop a splitting headache. One of the quickest solutions to this problem is drinking a glass of water prior to enjoying a glass of wine.

Don’t eat sugary things with wine

The only thing worse than a red wine headache is a cake-and-wine headache. Tiramisu sounds particularly amazing, especially after a glass of wine. However, alcohol and sugar are two substances that when combined can create a powerful headache. When you body consumes alcohol or sugar, your need lots of water in order to help process the substances. If you are not well hydrated, your body starts to pull the necessary water it needs from other parts or your body, including your head. As the liquid in your head starts to deplete, a headache forms.

Temple massage with peppermint oil

If you already got a wine headache, here is a simple tip to relieve your headache. Apply pressure with your three middle fingers in temple area for about 10 seconds. Repeat two to three times. It clears the blocked meridians so that energy may flow freely throughout the body. Enhance your temple massage with some aromatherapy. Essential oils of white flower, peppermint, or spearmint are high in menthol, which is noted for its pain-relieving properties. You could also rub some tiger balm, which is also high in menthol, on your temples.
