Prepare for the party season with Holland & Barrett

It’s that time of year again – decorations everywhere and diaries brimming with party dates. Your social life may be healthy, but the associated over-indulgences of alcohol can leave your body in an entirely different state.

That’s why Holland & Barrett have the ultimate festive hangover treatments available this Christmas:

Good n’ Natural Kudzu

The Kudzu plant has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for over 2,500 years. Its name in Chinese translates into ‘Drunkenness Dispeller’ and it is believed to help reduce alcohol cravings and the nasty after effects of a big night out.

In a small American study carried out by Harvard Medical School, male and female ‘heavy’ drinkers were given either placebo or a kudzu extract for 7 days. At the end of the treatment, there was a significant reduction in the consumption of beer by the Kudzu group.

Holland & Barrett Good n’ Natural Kudzu 500mg is priced at £9.99 for 60 tablets.

Good n’ Natural Silymarin Milk Thistle

Often used by people after an over indulgence of alcohol, Mike Thistle contains a powerful flavonoid complex known as silymarin, which protects and repairs the liver cells. It works by blocking the entrance of harmful toxins and helping to cleanse and detoxify an overburdened liver of damaging substances, such as alcohol, drugs, medications, heavy metals, pesticides and environmental toxins.

Maintaining the liver is vital for good health as one of the primary functions of the liver is to cleanse the blood. An overburdened and toxin loaded liver will be unable to effectively cleanse blood, which can result in skin problems ranging from acne, psoriasis, eczema, and dermatitis. Milk Thistle has also been used in the treatment of liver cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis (liver inflammation), and gallbladder disorders.

Holland & Barrett Good n’ Natural Silymarin Milk Thistle 175mg is priced from £4.99 for 100 capsules.
