So I'm not certain and in fact , I believe it's not the greatest idea to burden your liver further through the use of things um that are going to cause it to have to work harder and metabolize things . If the goal is simply to alleviate a headache , there's a lot of kind of lore um old school lore about how to relieve a hangover . We already talked about how eating food won't do that , but eating food will prevent the rapid absorption of even more alcohol into the bloodstream .
I know many people have tried that one before , but that's a terrible idea . Now , one thing that you'll also hear out there is that deliberate cold exposure , for instance , taking a cold shower might relieve hangover . I find this one particularly interesting because we've done episodes on the benefits of deliberate cold exposure .
Again , please use caution , spike your adrenaline spike , your dopamine with deliberate cold exposure safely . Other components of hangover that could be good targets for trying to alleviate hangover . And here I hope you are getting the picture because it is accurate to say that hangover is a multifaceted phenomenon .
They are giving the headache to dilate again . But of course , ingesting more alcohol to relieve a hangover is simply a bad idea . Just don't do it .
It's well documented in humans by the way . So one could imagine using deliberate cold exposure as a way to accelerate the recovery from hangover provided that's done safely . I think uh there's no reason to not explore that .
