A hangover is the sum of unpleasant physical effects following heavy consumption of alcohol or the use of other drugs. The most common reported characteristics of a hangover are feelings of extreme thirst (dehydration), feelings of being more tired than usual, nausea and headaches. A good hangover cure should replace essential nutrients lost by the body while counteracting the influence of residual poisons: drink a large amount of water, preferably sports drink such as Powerade or Gatorade, eat mineral-rich foods, like pickles or canned fish.

Acupressure is an effective way to relieve painful sensation associated with hangover.

This free guide by Aaron Stein, PhD, is based on over 5,000 years of Chinese practice of self-acupressure.

- No previous experience necessary.

- It is not necessary to massage active points on your own, you can ask somebody else to massage points for you.

- Total treatment duration 10 to 15 minutes.

How Acupressure Works:

Stimulation of active points is thought to lead to increased release of endorphins. Endorphin is a natural body painkiller. Endorphin and morphine are chemically different molecules but, by coincidence, they have very similar 3-dimensional shape. This similarity in shape allows morphine to bind the endorphin receptor, reduce pain, and induce feeling of happiness.

Thus endorphin released by acupressure stimulation may lead to relaxation and normalization of body functions.
