Chaser Pills - Natural Hangover Remedy


It seems that everyone and their uncle has a suggestion on how to cure a hangover after you get one. You can try them all to find one that works for you or you can use a product like Chaser pills that was developed to prevent hangovers from happening in the first place.

Chaser has developed a pill that is an all natural hangover remedy that you take before you even start drinking. Chaser has been clinically tested and those tests have shown the pill to reduce hangovers as much as seventy percent in test subjects.

The active ingredients in Chaser pills are calcium carbonate and activated charcoal that attract and soak up cogeners before they can have an affect on the drinker. Cogeners are the impurities in beer, wine and hard liquor that can have a harmful effect on you while you drink them. these impurities also contribute to the flavor, aroma, and color of what it is that you are drinking.

When you drink alcohol and the cogeners get into your bloodstream your immune system kicks into high gear and releases chemicals called cytokines to try to counteract the alcohol you are putting into your body. This release of cytokines is the main reason you feel like crap  the morning after a night of drinking. Your body is trying to fight off the foreign substance you put into it just like fighting off a cold virus. The level of cytokines drops with every passing hour and every ounce of alcohol that gets metabolized by your liver.

The capsules stop the hangover symptoms from occurring when you take the correct dosage and stick to the correct number of drinks that accompanies that dosage. The correct dosage is to take two pills with your first drink and then you can either drink moderately for three hours or have a total of six drinks. If you go beyond these parameters you must take two more pills.

There are no side effects associated with the formulation and they are considered safe to take. The fine print says these pills are not intended for minors. Minors should not be drinking anyway so if you know where your children are and what they are doing, you are doing a great job.

The pills do not prevent you from becoming drunk so you should always drink in moderation and absolutely never, ever drive drunk. They also will not help you pass a sobriety test should you get stopped. Besides, if you lead by example and show your children you are responsible drinkers then they may remember your example when they get old enough to be social drinkers themselves.

The pills work with any type of alcohol and you can find them at your local drug store, all natural store, or grocery store. Look for them in the vitamin aisle. Remember all you have to do is take two pills with your very first drink. Do not go beyond the number of drinks or time limit recommended because if you do not take tow more pills the effects of the first two Chaser pills will have worn off and you will still experience hangover symptoms. So read the fine print and follow the directions closely.

This is not medical advice and as in all cases it is wise to consult your doctor or pharmacist  prior to consuming a pill; especially if you are on other medications.

Your Best Way To Relieve Sciatic Nerve Pain


Your sciatic nerve can be found running from the end of the spine, down the leg, and all the way to the toes. Did you also know that the sciatic nerve is the largest one in your body? Perhaps you already knew these things if you have ever suffered from the painful condition known as sciatica. This is often caused by a bulging disk in the back. On the other hand, it's possible to have a bulging disk and not feel any pain, but when pain is present it tends to be quite severe. Also, the pain is usually found on just one side of your body.

However, you should also know that sciatica is often over-diagnosed, and that a lot of regular back pain is tagged as being sciatica. There are many causes for leg and back pain, but it isn't always sciatica. Therefore, you need to be sure that you have received the correct diagnosis, and that something else isn't causing the pain.

Make an appointment with your doctor, and request that they run any needed tests to see if your pain is being caused by sciatica or some other ailment. What it comes down to is you can only receive the right treatment for your condition if it has been diagnosed properly. Either way, you should seek medical help to help ease the pain of sciatica.

In today's world, one of the first things people turn to to cure any medical problem is prescription drugs. The truth is that a lot of them can, and do, work quite well. However, all medications have potential side effects, and when those include death (even in rare cases), then they sound like a less attractive option. Pills also have a way of losing their effectiveness over a period of time. but, if you still want to try the drug option, be sure they are prescribed after an accurate diagnosis.

However, pharmaceuticals are not the only way to relieve the pain of sciatica. A good number of people use natural methods to get their pain under control. Exercising is one such method. You can do stretching exercises to remain flexible. You can also go for strength training which has been shown to help some people. Try sticking with low impact exercises to improve blood circulation without putting extra stress on the nerve.

Physical therapy is sometimes used in more severe cases to keep flareups to a minimum. This therapy can be done by a professional, or you can try pilates or yoga to get the same effect on your own. Stretching during physical therapy helps to loosen up your muscles and keep the disks in your back from bulging. Stretches that target the muscles of the buttocks, legs and back are all good choices.

Whatever methods you decide to try, the key is to do something. You don't have to let sciatica ruin your life. With all of the options that are available, you should take action and try some of them. Once you are free from pain, you'll be glad you did.

What Is The Top Home Remedy To Treat Swimmers Ear


Otitis externa is also known as 'external otitis' or more commonly 'swimmer's ear'.  This is an inflammation of the outer ear and ear canal and can cause a nasty earache.  Swimmers ear is a very common form of earache and get's it's name because people often develop it after swimming as it is caused by excess moisture that is left in the ear.

Although this often occurs after swimming, that is not always the case and if the conditions are right, anybody can develop swimmer's ear.  Some people can become susceptible to swimmer's ear and can spend quite a bit of money on doctor visits and medications each time the infection occurs.

Those people who are susceptible to swimmer's ear, or having children that are prone to it, will often seek a home remedy that might help them relieve the pain associated with the infection or even clear the infection completely.  There are a few different home remedies that can be used to treat ear infections, but the results will be determined by the severity of the infection and some remedies just work better for some people than others.

Although home remedies can be quite effective for treating ear infections, if the pain is severe you should consult a doctor to get a proper diagnosis and to make sure that it isn't anything more serious.  If you suffer from swimmer's ear often then you will get to know the symptoms and can possibly treat it with home remedies if you catch it early.

If you are experienced with ear infections then you will know how they feel and whether they are bad enough to warrant a trip to the doctor or whether you can treat it with a home remedy.

Then there are times that you can develop an ear infection at night when it isn't possible to visit a doctor and home remedies can be very useful during these times to help relieve pain until morning when you can see the doctor.

Home remedies to treat swimmer's ear can often be made with ingredients that you have at home in your kitchen.  One remedy that is effective is to rub a few drops of alcohol over the sore ear, this can help to stop the infection from becoming worse.  Just tilt your head to the side and add no more than two drops into the ear.  You can gently rub your ear or move your head to let the alcohol move around the ear canal.  Let is sit for a few minutes and then rinse your ear with warm water.

A similar method to this is to use water and vinegar instead of alcohol.  A mixture of 50/50 water and vinegar helps to kill the bacteria in the ear.  Just apply a few drops using the same technique as above and you can sometimes see results quite fast with this remedy.

Prevention is often better than cure and in many cases swimmer's ear can be prevented by wearing ear plugs when swimming.  Another way to prevent swimmer's ear is to dry your ears gently with a hair dryer, just to dry up any excess moisture after swimming.  Just make sure to keep the hair dryer on a cool setting and not to have it too close to the ear.

If you suffer from swimmer's ear often then take measures to try and keep your ears dry and stop an infection from developing.
