Throughout history, people have gone to extraordinary lengths to cure the dreaded hangover. From ancient Egypt to medieval Europe, various cultures have experimented with remedies that are as bizarre as they are fascinating.
The ancient Greeks believed in the power of cabbage, eating it raw to stave off hangovers after a night of wine. The Romans, never to be outdone, would consume deep-fried canaries as a cure. In medieval Europe, crushed owl eggs mixed with wine were thought to hold the secret to hangover relief. Even the Mongols, fierce warriors of the steppes, relied on pickled sheep's eyes as their go-to remedy after too much fermented mare’s milk.
These ancient solutions may seem strange today, but they reflect humanity's enduring quest to feel better after a night of excess. The good news is that hangover science has come a long way since then. While we’re unlikely to see canaries or sheep’s eyes on the menu today, modern remedies focus on replenishing essential vitamins and hydration.
That’s where products like Recoup Hangover Remedy come in. Instead of turning to odd or outdated cures, Recoup provides a scientifically-backed blend of vitamins and natural ingredients that target hangover symptoms effectively — and without the need for cabbage or owls.
So while history is full of curious cures, we now have solutions that are much more palatable and reliable.
