Happy New Year!

Earthsense

Happy New Year!  This is the perfect day of new beginnings, New Year’s resolutions, and a new outlook for the New Year.  But if you partied a little too hearty last night, you may not be ready to face the New Year quite yet!  Your hangover is just a result of your liver trying to process all that alcohol.

Try to stay away from the over-the-counter pain medications and try these hangover cures instead.  Push fluids like water and tomato juice to begin re-hydrating.  Your liver is trying to dispel the toxins in your system, but as much as one third of these toxins will evaporate through your skin, so soak in a hot wasabi or mustard bath to help blood circulation.  Many believe that reflexology can help you feel better, so try massaging the outer edge of your right foot (this is the area associated with your liver), or use the seated twist yoga position to purge your system.
