We all know how terrible it is to wake up with a hangover. 

You have a pounding headache, your stomach is in knots — and let’s not even talk about the kink in your neck from that miserable night on the couch.

Depending on your pick of the poison and how much of it you indulged in, there’s going to be some ramifications. 

But heading to the medicine cabinet for an Advil or a Tylenol may not be such a good idea either — these painkillers can worsen the damage already done to your liver and kidneys.

So what can you do? 

Instead, opt for a healthier antidote like yoga! 

We know — the last thing you want to do after a long night of drinking is to get up and work out, but yoga has actually been shown to relieve hangover symptoms. 

For instance, certain poses like Downward Dog or Mountain Pose increase blood flow to your organs, helping you relieve your stiff neck and tight muscles.

Exercise also helps your body process alcohol. 

Gentle, slow-moving activities like yoga can achieve this without upsetting your sensitive stomach. 

Forget about scarfing down that greasy breakfast sandwich or drinking Gatorade — yoga is the hangover cure you never knew you needed.
