However, the day after drinking at work, we tend to swell up… So, this time, we will introduce the ” ultimate three-step combo to counteract swelling ” to quickly regain a sharp facial line!

Why is your face swollen the day after a drinking session?Causes and Mechanisms of Swelling

Swelling is caused by an imbalance of water in the body and the accumulation of excess water between cells, or by water leaking out of blood vessels and lymph vessels and accumulating in tissues. Normally, water in the blood vessels is regulated by the lymphatic system and the kidneys. However, if blood flow or lymphatic flow is blocked, it is not properly drained and appears as swelling in the limbs or face. The main causes in daily life are ” excessive water intake, ” prolonged standing or sitting, ” alcohol and salt intake, ” and lack of sleep. Especially after drinking, many people experience severe swelling due to the double punch of excessive alcohol and salt intake and lack of sleep. To reduce swelling, it is important to adjust water balance and promote blood circulation. However, if the swelling persists chronically, it is recommended to consult a physician because of the possibility of internal organ disease.

Below is the ultimate three-step combo to prevent swelling!

The key to preventing swelling is to drain excess water from the body and promote blood circulation. In this regard, bathing is recommended: soaking in 38~40°C water will increase the parasympathetic nervous system and promote blood flow and lymphatic circulation. Take a bath for about 15~20 minutes to warm up your body from the core. In addition, the use of medicated bath salts, which are expected to promote blood circulation, will increase the effectiveness of anti-swelling measures. For example, AYURA bath salts contain ginger, licorice, and chili peppers, which are ideal for promoting perspiration and blood circulation. In addition, since they are medicated bath salts, they are great for ” relieving fatigue, stiff shoulders, sensitivity to cold, and back pain. While bathing, lightly massage the face line from the temples to the chin to drain the lymphatic system. After getting out of the bath, drink a glass of water. If you drink too much, you will lose the meaning of sweating!

I recommend going to the sauna at night or in the morning if you have time. However, taking a sauna after consuming alcohol or for too long is not good for preventing swelling, not only because of the risk of dehydration, etc., but also because the body loses necessary water and conversely tries to accumulate water.

To finish off the swelling countermeasure, don’t forget to use Chinese herbs to balance the water balance from within the body. It is important to take Chinese herbs for swelling on an empty stomach. The most effective Chinese herbs are ” Touki Shakuyaku Sansan,” ” Goreisansan,” ” Booiogitou,” etc. Each of these herbs has different effects on different types of swelling. Each of them is effective for different types of swelling.

Chinese herbal medicine Cause of swelling Characteristics Recommended for people who
Gorinosan Deterioration of water metabolism Drain excess water, good for hangover Swelling after drinking water, feeling sick due to weather
Hozu Huangqi Yu water weight gain, decreased metabolism Regulation of autonomic nervous system, adjustment of water balance Sweating easily, swelling due to lack of exercise
Touki Peony cold, poor circulation regulate anemia and hormonal balance Coldness, tiredness

Chinese herbal medicines are characterized by the fact that their ingredients dissolve and are easily absorbed when taken with hot water. Drinking with water is also acceptable, but avoid cold water when doing so. For breakfast, warm soup is recommended. In addition, eating more foods that contain potassium, vitamin B1, and citric acid will help reduce swelling. For example, avocados, bananas, kiwis, spinach, sweet potatoes, citrus fruits, etc.

Drinking coffee or herbal tea is also recommended. They are diuretic and promote blood circulation, thus contributing to the reduction of swelling. However, do not drink too much, so limit yourself to 2~3 cups per day. If you drink too much, necessary water in the body will also be discharged, and you will become swollen. However, since Chinese herbal medicine and caffeine are incompatible, avoid caffeine intake for about 30 minutes after taking Chinese herbal medicine. The diuretic effect of caffeine may cause the active ingredients of the herbal medicine to be expelled before they are absorbed by the body.
