Headache is an effective old and tried medicine. Drink a cup of strong black coffee with a few drops of lemon juice. This drink improves the circulation of blood vessels in the head and quickly removes pain. You can drink a glass of warm water in which 2 tablespoons of honey and 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar are mixed. An excellent effect is achieved if you rub peppermint essential oil or tiger ointment into the forehead and temples with light, massaging and circular movements.

Lie down with your head covered and the person quickly feels that the sinuses are clear and the pain slowly stops.
Hangover – it is best to drink a glass of saltier sauerkraut juice in the morning and afternoon. By the way, this juice is good for chronic digestive problems if you take 3 tablespoons before meals.
