It is called hangover or the Price people pay for drinking too  Price usually includes a monstrous headache nausea thirst vertigo fatigue and a feeling of general malaise. A less familiar symptom is nystagmus an involuntary rapid movement of the eyeball when the eyes Are turned to the Side and the head is tilted Back. A newspaper reporter who was no stranger to drink once said that during his hangovers he Felt As though he had no  such mis eries May last for a morning or an entire Day. As people drink More heavily and More frequently they Are Apt to suffer emotional con sequences As Well anxiety depression and guilt. Even the social Drinker who occasionally awakens with a hangover after having vowed not to overindulge May feel remorseful about Lack of self control. Yet the amount of alcohol required to cause a hangover varies enormously and has Little bearing upon whether the Drinker feels  when i was single and going out often i frequently awoke with a hangover Al though i was never drunk. I finally realized i was having several drinks after work wine with dinner and a liqueur afterwards result ing in a hangover the next morning. It was the constant sip sip sip that added up to a sub Stantial amount of alcohol. Some scientists believe that not Only the amount but the kind of alcohol one drinks makes a difference.

India doctors studying ancient arthritis herbs new Delhi a in an unusual project joining Western and traditional Medicine doctors in South India Are searching for a Ewe for rheumatoid arthritis using herbal medicines oils and pastes prescribed by ancient hindu scriptures. The world health organization who which is conducting the four year project says the initial results Are encouraging. Since the project began in april we be had about 20 cases of rheumatoid under study. Two have been cured and most of the others Are showing Good improvement or. Purshottam Diesh the who project director said in an interview. The project being conducted jointly with the Indian Council of medical research is being run in Coimbatore a City in Southern India at a clinic specializing in a Branch of traditional Indian Medicine called ayurveda. Ayurveda a hindu word meaning science of life is based on the holy hindu scriptures called vedas and has been practice on the asian subcontinent for More than 3,000 years. According to Diesh Ayu vedic Medicine does not isolate and treat a particular ailment the Way Western Medicine does. Rather it seeks to treat the ailing body As a total system somehow out of balance. In the Case of rheumatoid arthritis the painful stiffening and inflammation of joints Muscles and tissues Are seen by Ayu vedic Medicine As being caused by an imbalance in the body s metabolism. Diesh said Western doctors have been aware for years that certain Ayu vedic cures practice for centuries in Asia do relieve arthritis symptoms sometimes permanently. We know that some of these ancient meth ods work Diesh said. What we want to know is How. At the Ayu vedic Trust Hospital in Coimbatore which uses herbs gathered by peas ants from a nearby Mountain Range a patient is first examined by both modern and ayur vedic doctors before treatment begins Diesh said. If the diagnosis is rheumatoid arthritis an Ayu vedic treatment begins consisting of cleansing Baths herbs taken internally Mas sages with herbal potions and oils and other physiotherapy All designed to restore the entire body to its proper balance. The personality of the Drinker also influences hangovers. One study showed that they occur mainly in people who feel guilty about their drinking. The Hung Over group included Light As Well As heavy drinkers so it was concluded that the Quantity consumed was not As crucial As How the Drinker Felt about his or her drinking behaviour. I m a Little sceptical about this psychosomatic approach for example i think most new year s Day hangovers Are suffered by people who Don t feel the least bit guilty. Some of the epic hangovers of this Century were experienced by . Fields who once remarked a woman drove me to drink and i never even wrote to thank  an Alka Seltzer fizzing in a Glass of water could drive Fields to complain about the Racket. The head of a hangover victim throbs and Acnes according to one theory not because of noise Levels but because alcohol a vasodilator enlarges blood vessels in the Skull which cannot expand and therefore ache because of pressure Many hangover remedies have been tried but the most effective remain rest and the passage of time. For some people whose stomachs can tolerate it aspirin May help. But minor Tranquili Zers sedatives and anti histamines should be avoided because they like alcohol Are depressants which intensify the effects of hangover. The Best solution for hangover is to avoid having one by drinking intelligently and Low ering the rate alcohol is absorbed into the body. Specifically Don t drink on an empty stomach and if possible relax or have a Nap beforehand. Space out your drinks. Be aware that Salty foods will make you drink More. Beware of the generous Host or Host Ess who plies drinks serves double shots and believes the Best party is one with a lot of drinking. Drink several glasses of water or fruit juice before bedtime to Lessen the feeling of dehydration. If you Are taking any medication know How it interacts with alcohol. For example some cough and cold remedies containing High percentages of alcohol can increase its effects. Finally a word about the hair of the dog remedy for hangovers drinking More Alco hol the morning after May Deaden immediate symptoms and bring some temporary Relief. But Piggy backing drinks can Lead to dependency on alcohol instead of better control Over its use.
