Let’s set the scene. It’s the morning after a big night out, where “just one drink” turned into a round (or two) too many. Now you’re waking up to that familiar, unpleasant nausea—the kind that keeps you clinging to your pillow and hoping you don’t have to move. But here’s the thing: hangover nausea isn’t just annoying; it’s your body’s way of dealing with dehydration, disrupted electrolytes, and a general imbalance in your system.
You’ve probably heard all the classic hangover “cures”—coffee, cold showers, greasy food—but let’s get to the stuff that works.
1. Start with Hydration: Coconut Water or Electrolytes
Alcohol dehydrates your body, and that dehydration is a big reason you feel nauseous. Coconut water is a great choice because it’s naturally packed with potassium, one of the electrolytes you’re probably missing. Sports drinks are an option too, but if you’re looking for less sugar, coconut water or plain water with an electrolyte tablet can do wonders. This hydrates you and replenishes essential minerals, which eases nausea and helps your body recover faster.
2. Small, Stomach-Settling Snacks
An empty stomach can make nausea worse. So even if food doesn’t sound appealing, start with something gentle. Bananas, toast, or rice porridge (congee) are easy to digest and give your body a little fuel to help fight the hangover. In Asia, a bowl of congee is a comfort food for many—it’s light, hydrating, and full of gentle carbs.
3. Ginger or Peppermint Tea
These teas are popular remedies for nausea worldwide, and for good reason. Ginger tea, in particular, is widely recommended for all types of nausea relief. If you can, sip a warm ginger tea or peppermint tea slowly, as they’re both natural stomach soothers. Peppermint tea’s cooling effect can be especially helpful if you’re feeling queasy.
4. Still Feeling Rough? Reach for Locohol
If you forgot to take Locohol before heading out last night, don’t stress. We get it—when the drinks are flowing, remembering a hangover remedy isn’t always top of mind. The good news? Locohol can still help, even the morning after. While it’s best to take 2 capsules before and 2 capsules after drinking, taking it the next day can still make a difference. The formula is designed to metabolize remaining alcohol in the body, replenish nutrients, and help balance your body, so you can start feeling better faster.
With Locohol, you get that extra help in managing post-drinking symptoms, especially if nausea is making it hard to get back on your feet. Give your body that extra bit of support, and you’ll notice how much easier it is to face the day.
5. Rest and Restore
When all else fails, give yourself time to rest. If you can, try to catch a bit more sleep to let your liver continue processing the alcohol. Nausea is a sign that your body’s been through a lot, so take it easy, sip some water, and allow yourself to recover fully.
Final Thoughts
Hangover nausea isn’t fun, but with the right approach, you can get through it. Hydrate, nibble on some gentle foods, sip soothing tea, and, if you need that extra support, remember Locohol is here to help.
