New Year’s Hangover Help

It’s New Year’s Eve! In preparation of a BIG night ahead, read on for a few quick, easy reflexology techniques for hangover help.

Rather than just lying in bed waiting for the alcohol to seep out of your body so you can feel better, be proactive and take control of your hangover. Try reflexology on the reflex areas of the body that need the most help, namely the liver, kidneys, stomach, brain and solar plexus.

Start with your liver point in order to help push out the remaining alcohol in your body. This is located on the outer edge of the right foot, starting from about the middle of the foot. This area is approximated the size of a quarter. Press here for 10 seconds, release and repeat again.
Next, move to the kidneys, which coordinate with the liver in the elimination process, and drink lots of water! This reflex area is located on both feet, in the middle of the foot moving towards the heel. Press for 10 seconds, release & repeat.

To get rid of a headache, press the fleshy part of both big toes, just behind the nail. You can apply firm pressure here. Some people even use clothespins on their big toes to prevent and relieve headaches.
If you’re experiencing nausea, stimulate the stomach point, located on the inner edge of both feet about midway between the heel and toes. Finally, stimulate the solar plexus region, located in the middle of both feet, if you find your entire sense of center has been disrupted by the hangover.

**In addition to these techniques for hangover help, I personally recommend an icy Coke and a large order of McDonald’s fries. Good luck! And pass this on to friends in need…
