THE SCIENCE BEHIND HANGOVERS

Hangovers are the unpleasant aftermath of excessive alcohol consumption, characterized by a variety of physical and mental symptoms. These symptoms can include headaches, nausea, fatigue, dizziness, dehydration, anxiety and more. But what actually causes a hangover?

  • DEHYDRATION

    Alcohol is a diuretic, meaning it increases urine production and leads to dehydration. Dehydration can cause many of the classic hangover symptoms, such as thirst, dry mouth, and headaches.

  • ELECTROLYTE IMBALANCE

    Alongside dehydration, alcohol consumption can disrupt the balance of electrolytes in the body, which are crucial for nerve and muscle function.

  • LOW BLOOD SUGAR

    Alcohol can interfere with the body's ability to maintain stable blood sugar levels, resulting in fatigue, weakness, and mood disturbances.

  • STOMACH DISTRESS

    Alcohol irritates the stomach lining and increases acid production, leading to nausea and vomiting. Alcohol also triggers an inflammatory response in the body, contributing to the overall feeling of ‘wtf happened last night?’

De La Heart Stainless Steel Gua Sha

Alcohol dehydrates your face and causes fluid retention which is oftentimes why our face can look puffy the morning after drinking. Gua sha-ing your face after drinking helps reduce that puffiness by stimulating lymphatic drainage and circulation, which aids in flushing out toxins and excess fluid that contribute to facial swelling. Our hot tip is to keep your gua sha in the fridge so it’s extra cooling and refreshing while you’re depuffing. 

Clean Market Sage or Palo Santo

If you hosted the pregame and your apartment still reeks of booze or if your hangxiety is hitting HARD, burn Sage or Palo Santo to clear out the bad smells, and more importantly, vibes, from the night before.
