Clinical research has been done on the efficacy of Roseroot on fatigue, exhaustion, lack of concentration, work phobia, and short-term memory, all with positive results. Promising, if you don’t have the luxury of spending your hangover vegging on the couch. Its bonus antioxidant and liver-protecting powers, combined with its natural protection against dryness and dehydration, make it a perfect pick for treating myriad hangover symptoms. Multiple tests back up its anti-inflammatory effects, and it’s also thought to stimulate the immune system, protect the heart, and lower blood pressure. Note: Do not take willow or self-heal if you’re allergic to aspirin or if you’re on blood-thinning medication. But beware: The leaves of Nettle plants have little hairs that sting and burn when touched. These hairs are destroyed by boiling or drying, so it is safe to eat boiled nettle leaves or drink tea made with the dried leaves. *General Note: Do not use herbs, either internally or externally, without first reading the comments under the heading “Warning” for each herb where applicable. Do not take larger doses than those that are recommended. If the intention is to take herbs simultaneously with medication, seek the advice of a medical herbalist before using the herbs.
