Spring break. Warmer weather. St. Patrick\u2019s Day. March Madness. In many ways, March might as well be\u00a0called Merry March \u2013 and if your preferred form of merriment takes the form of booze, then March\u00a0might be your hangover season too.<\/p>\n

Of all these March fetes, St. Patrick\u2019s Day, March 17, is probably the holiday best known for\u00a0overindulgence in classic Irish beverages like Jameson and green beer. That means that March 18 is the\u00a0day searches for hangover remedies<\/a> spike.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve probably heard of some of the classic hangover cures. Here are a few that aren\u2019t as great as\u00a0they\u2019re cracked up to be, plus one that actually works.<\/p>\n

Prevention<\/h1>\n

Not drinking at all is the only surefire way to avoid a hangover. But if you wake up with a\u00a0throbbing headache, this knowledge is completely useless to you. Let\u2019s move on.<\/p>\n

Hair of the dog<\/h1>\n

Continuing to drink might delay the onset of symptoms by a few hours. But at some\u00a0point, even you will have to stop drinking, and your hangover will be even worse. Plus, if\u00a0you\u2019re nursing a hangover on a workday, most employers will be less than sympathetic to a \u201cmedicinal\u201d\u00a0shot of vodka at your desk.<\/p>\n

Greasy food<\/h1>\n

While any excuse to eat hash browns is welcome, there\u2019s nothing about grease or fat that\u00a0is particularly curative. (That said, some nutrition is always a good idea.)<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s one hangover remedy you might not have considered \u2013 and it works.<\/p>\n

Massage<\/h1>\n

Here\u2019s why\u00a0massage is the hangover remedy you\u2019ve always wanted.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s completely natural. No need to take drugs like aspirin, which can thin the blood and tax your already\u00a0overloaded liver.<\/p>\n

Massage boosts your immune system<\/a>. During a hangover, your body is full of toxins, and your liver, the\u00a0organ responsible for breaking them down, just can\u2019t keep up. Massage will help your lymphatic system\u00a0clear your blood of all the poisons you put into it on St. Patrick\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

Hangovers mean headaches. A massage is a great way to increase circulation, which also pushes blood to\u00a0the brain, easing pesky headaches caused by your hangover.<\/p>\n

The only real cure for a hangover is time and rest. A massage helps your body relax and heal itself.<\/p>\n

So go ahead and have fun on St. Patrick\u2019s Day \u2013 just make sure to book an in home massage <\/a>to cure that\u00a0hangover afterward!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
