Pure oxygen 'is a sure-fire way to beat a hangover'
The best way to ease the pain and discomfort of a hangover is to breathe oxygen-enriched air, it has been claimed.
Gary Heyne, a master brewer, responded to an article on pointsincase.com arguing the pros and cons of certain hangover cures and said that pure oxygen is the best way forward.
He said ten to 15 minutes of oxygen therapy is usually enough to ease headaches and body pains, with users feeling significantly better than they would with other so-called remedies.
"If you are resourceful enough to score an oxygen bottle, regulator and mask, you will notice after exhaling the first lungfuls of pure oxygen you will immediately feel the clouds lift," Mr Heyne said.
He added that users will feel like the hangover never happened and will be able to go about their day as normal.
Dr Paul Stillman, a member of the Expert Group on Hydration, told the Independent that taking a few breaths from an oxygen canister can help people with hangovers to function better.
