The fabulously named Nux Vomica is the homeopathic hangover remedy. It is actually (heavily diluted)  strychnine which sounds slightly bats unless you grok homeopathy. I mean my constitutional remedy is diluted snake venom; Lachesis. Which always perks me up real fast.

Okay, I am NOT a homeopath & only use the Nux for really grotty morning-afters but the Nux Vomica personality type – as you will see from the links -  is a shocker. Still, short of never doing anything over-indulgent again, Nux Vom is an essential bathroom cupboard standby. A classically trained English homeopath once told me it was stockpiled by the Royal Family.

There is a v.easy to peruse article on it here.  The above link is way more thorough & scary to read, as the full-on homeopathic materia medicias tend to be. Also, I don’t know how exactly it does it but it seems to alleviate the psych0-mental symptoms of a hangover as well.
