New Year's Remedies

Natural medical practitioner Majid Ali offers ways to help restore the body to health after a long night out on the town. He discusses methods of relieving headaches, nausea, dry mouth and more.

Dry Mouth Treatment

Ingredients:

1/2 tsp. dieters (potassium) salt
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 Tbs. sugar
6 oz. water

Preparation:

Drink a mixture of these ingredients to restore electrolytes to the body that it lost to dehydration. (This drink works like a sports drink.) Add a little lemon, lime or orange juice for flavoring.

Headache Tea

Preparation:

Steep a tablespoon of dried rosemary for three to five minutes in boiled water and drink. Drink hourly until your headache goes away.

Upset Stomach Stopper

Ingredients:

1 tsp. powdered vitamin C
1/2 glass sparkling water
1/2 glass pineapple juice
1 tsp. lime juice
pinch of cumin

Preparation:

To cure nausea, drink a mixture of these ingredients.

Notes:

• Avoid sweet drinks and dark liquors during the evening to lessen the hangover the next day.

• When out on the town, try to limit drinks to one an hour and drink plenty of water between alcoholic beverages.

• Before and during a night out, eat plenty of food to help absorb some of the acid from the alcohol.

• Eat bland foods such as cooked cereal the morning after a night out to help restore blood-sugar levels.
