Unless you follow the Chinese calendar, I guess you have just celebrated the new year. As you know, I live in Scotland, where New Year (or Hogmanay) is celebrated with much more enthusiasm than Christmas. To me, though, it is just another day. It seems to me that for some, it just an excuse to get drunk, knowing that they have a couple of days off afterwards in which to recover. Some 'hands on' self help advice below for those of you who have embibed more than you should have done.
Two acupoints spring to mind in overcoming some of the symptoms of hangover, namely headache and nausea. These two points should also help with dehydration, although there is NO substitute for drinking at least three litres of pure water during each day for three days.
Liver 3 (LR 3) is to be found in the web between the great toe and 2nd toe and is said to be the Source point of the liver, and, as such affects the organ better than any other point. It will help with headache, stress, liverishness and the general feeling of malaise that whisky often gives. Stomach 36 (ST 36) is found at the lateral aspect of the tibial tubercle within the tibialis anterior muscle. It is the great point for nausea and sickness, as well as helping the body recover its energy equilibrium. It probably represents the best point on the body in enabling recovery from illness (even self inflicted). Do NOT press or massage these points too hard, it will not help any more!
I don't expect that any of my readers will need this advice (perish the thought) but could be good advice to off your clients. Many thanks for looking at my blog over 2010 and look forward to welcoming you in 2011. JRC
