If you need a quick fix for the dreaded hangover, fear not! 1. Indulge Responsibly  Pure Wine wands Often wine drinkers get headaches after they enjoy their glasses or bottles of wine and you assume this is a typical hangover when actually it could be that you've actually got some allergies! These Pure Wine wands are wine purifiers that are said to eliminate wine headaches-wine allergies-hangovers by acting as a filter that eliminates some of the common particles in wine that might trigger allergies for some wine drinkers. Just pop this wand into your drink, swirl it around, and it filters out some of the bits that might cause your headache. [caption id="attachment_248017" align="aligncenter" width="285"] PureWine Wand[/caption] Muse Meditation Headband Another way to prepare in advance is to use the Muse Meditation Headband. This is a Toronto- made meditation and sleep support headband. It's wild- it uses technology to sense when you wake up at night and then delivers something called a "digital sleeping pill" to get you back to sleep so it's easier to fall asleep and stay asleep, be well-rested, and includes guided sleep meditation. [caption id="attachment_248018" align="aligncenter" width="300"] Muse Meditation Headband[/caption] If you use this headband beforehand, your mind and body are in a better position to handle that potential hangover or even work to ensure it's not as bad a hangover as it could be. 2.
