Can The Prickly Pear Cactus Fruit Really Help Holiday Hangovers?
Ah yes, another year is about to close…as a new one begins! We are all aglow with the holiday spirit; enjoying time with family and friends including lots of holiday cheer spilling over everywhere, as little dancing martini’s bounce through our heads. Oh what fun it is!
Until the morning light! As your eyes open slowly, awakening to a new day, suddenly without warning your body is bombarded with symptoms longer than Santa gift list! Such as dehydration, nausea, headache, fatigue, fever, vomiting, diarrhea, flatulence, sensitivity to light and sound. You know you are in trouble now!
You ask yourself what the heck happened, I feel like I have been hit by a freight train! Well not quite! Symptoms may be related to dehydration, hormonal changes induced by alcohol, direct toxic effects of alcohol, and inflammation caused by metabolizing alcohol or by impurities in the beverages.
How can you find some relief?
Prickly pear cactus (Opuntia ficus indica) extract has been found to relieve hangover nausea and dry mouth according to researchers at Tulane University and the University of California, San Francisco. Prickly pear is known to reduce inflammation, and hangover symptoms are due to an increase in inflammation. Researchers found that C-reactive protein, a marker for inflammation, was 40% higher in the group that took a placebo. The extract was taken five hours before alcohol consumption.
There you go, prickly cactus fruit can help a hangover and a whole lot more!
