Why Hangovers Hurt So Bad (and How IV Therapy Can Help)

Why Hangovers Hurt So Bad (and How IV Therapy Can Help)

Business dinners with clients, celebrating with co-workers, a night out with friends — it only takes a single drink too many to cause a hangover and the pain it brings. But at Chrysolite Aesthetics in Houston, Texas, we have good news: Safe and effective intravenous (IV) therapy can help even the worst hangover hurry on its way. 

Dr. Rawan Abu-Zeitoon and his care team use IV therapy to help you rebound from hangovers faster. In addition, IV therapy offers numerous health benefits, including a boost in energy and to your immune system. 

Here’s a closer look at why hangovers hurt so bad and how IV therapy can help you feel better after your next indulgence.

How can I tell I have a hangover?

If you equate hangovers with headaches, you’re not alone. But a pounding head isn’t the only symptom you might have after a night of drinking. Hangovers can trigger various physical and mental symptoms, including:

If you or a loved one experiences severe symptoms after a night of drinking, including irregular breathing, loss of consciousness (without being able to be wakened), or signs of hypothermia (low body temperature; blue or pale skin), it could be alcohol poisoning, not a simple hangover. In this case, call 911 or head to the nearest emergency room for immediate care. 

Why do hangovers hurt so much?

To understand why hangovers hurt so bad, it’s important to understand why you get a hangover in the first place. You may think drinking alcohol is the obvious explanation, but in reality, the cause of hangovers (and the pain they bring) is a bit more complex. 

It’s true drinking alcohol can lead to a hangover. But this is because alcohol triggers certain effects in your body that lead to the hangover, including:

You may have noticed that not everyone gets hangovers or that people experience hangovers differently — even when they drink the same amount of alcohol. That’s because everyone’s body processes alcohol differently.

How can IV therapy ease hangover pain?

At Chrysolite Aesthetics, we’re happy to help our patients get over hangovers faster using all-natural IV therapy. We custom blend our cocktails to meet your unique needs. If you need to rebound quickly from a hangover, our IV therapy helps in many ways, including:

The IV therapy treatments at Chrysolite Aesthetics have the nutrients and fluids you need to foster liver detoxification. This helps you feel less tired and more focused and energized and gives your immune system a boost. 

With IV therapy, the essential nutrients and minerals enter your bloodstream directly. Since they bypass your digestive system, you get the full benefit of each dose much faster than with oral remedies you drink or ingest. In other words, with IV therapy, you’ll notice an improvement in your pain and other symptoms in minutes.
