Holiday Hangover Cures Also Work For JetLag

By Madelyn Miller, the TravelLady

You’ve had your fun and now you’re paying the price.  Endless parties, copious amounts of alcohol, boxes of chocolate and late nights are the stuff of Christmas legend.  By way of damage control and to make sure your hangover doesn’t hang round too long, try one of LUSH’s  detoxifying products to leave you feeling happy and healthy for the new year:

So why, you wonder, does a travel writer care about hangovers?

I have figured out that the same things that cure hangovers help with jetlag.

And don’t you feel a little better buying something for jetlag than for your hangover?

These products make great gifts for your travelling and drinking friends since they are multi-functional.

Party On Temple Balm                                                         $7.95

A temple balm to get you headlong through the party season and out the other side still raring to go! Made with coffee infusion, peppermint oil, menthol oil, rosemary oil, lime oil and fresh lemongrass, you’ll feel the energy from the moment you rub it on.

Party on Shower Jelly                                                           $5.95 for 100g

Party on is just what you need to keep partying all weekend long or help cure a hellish hangover as it detoxifies, stimulates, and energizes a sluggish system.  While in the shower hold this jelly over your kidneys to increase the flushing out of toxins.

Hot Java Bath Bomb                                                            $9.95

It’s filled with warming ginger, purifying juniper berry, uplifting ylang ylang and detoxifying coriander essential oils to leave you stimulated yet stress free.  The warming effect on the body helps ease muscular aches and pains and will help fight colds and ‘flu’.  It’s also a good antidote for nausea, hangovers and travel sickness.


Afterlife Moisturizer                                                   $39.95

Created to put something back into the skin, this rich moisturizer contains whole organic mangoes and a special blend of essential oils that were chosen for their renowned cell-regenerating properties to help repair the skin.


Brazened Honey Mask                                                         $9.95

A deeply detoxifying face mask for when you feel ashamed about what you’ve done to your skin.  This mask was inspired by seven of the herbs used in Aryuvedic medicine. An infusion of sage, rosemary and juniperberry and masses of lime juice are deeply detoxifying (not available online).
