Woken up feeling the worse for wear? Soothe aching heads and calm choppy stomachs with our list of herbal teas for hangovers.
—
As we enter the festive season, parties and gatherings abound. And we can easily be tempted into over-indulging as a result.
Whether you’ve had a drink too many at the office end-of-year party or are regretting that last glass of wine at your annual Friendmas get-together, a hangover is the last thing you want to slow you down or keep you away from the celebrations.
To help you out, we’ve compiled a list of our favourite herbal teas for hangovers. These delicious brews are a great way to rehydrate and also contain herbs that could alleviate common hangover symptoms, such as headaches, nausea, and tiredness.
Have these teas in your cupboard over the festive season to help you recover when you’ve celebrated just a little bit too hard.
1. Ginseng & Ginger
One of our flagship teas, this earthy and warming blend is ideal for anyone who struggles with nausea and brain fog after a night of drinking.
Ginger is well-known for its ability to soothe upset stomachs and calm nausea. As a natural painkiller, it may also help an aching head. Meanwhile, ginseng is said to restore vitality and support mental clarity – perfect for restoring your brain power and banishing your hangover.
2. NutraHead
A persistent headache is one of the most common symptoms of a hangover – 92% of us will have experienced this pain at least once. Fortunately, our NutraHead herbal tea is packed full of herbs that are traditionally used to ease headaches.
Natural painkillers like feverfew and willowbark have been used to treat headaches for centuries. This tea also contains anti-inflammatory herbs like cinnamon and ginger. Plus, the peppermint in this blend may help to settle an upset stomach.
3. NutraLiver
Our hard-working livers deserve some support at this time of year as they continue to clear our systems of alcohol and other toxins. Herbs like milk thistle, liquorice, and turmeric are ideal natural allies to support the liver and help you recover from your hangover.
You’ll find all these herbs in NutraLiver, our herbal tea for liver support. With luck, a healthier liver also means a shorter hangover, as this vital organ helps your body rid itself of toxins.
4. NutraCleanse
It isn’t just our heads that suffer when we have a hangover. Drinking too much can also leave your digestive system feeling pretty fragile – and nausea, bloating, and diarrhoea can all appear as a result.
Some of our favourite herbs for supporting digestion and helping your body cleanse itself of toxins include liquorice, dandelion root, artichoke, ginger, and fennel – you’ll find them all in our NutraCleanse herbal tea.
5. NutraReflux
If you are prone to heartburn, acid reflux, or indigestion then you’ll already know how alcohol can exacerbate these symptoms. Even those who don’t usually struggle with issues like these may find they experience them as part of their hangover.
Our answer is NutraReflux, part of our premium herbal tea range. This tea contains herbs like peppermint, liquorice, and ginger that are used to settle the stomach, while mucilaginous herbs such as slippery elm and shatavari root soothe irritated tissues and help to banish that acid burn that can linger at the back of your throat.
