Karena Sophie shares her experience of using milk thistle as a hangover remedy, which resulted in a severe allergic reaction.
Many of us will be nursing a sore head on New Year's Day after celebrating the arrival of 2025 with a few too many glasses of bubbly. While there are countless hangover 'cures' to try, one natural remedy had a shocking effect on Karena Sophie, leaving her covered in hives. Here, Karena shares her experience with this unexpected reaction to a natural hangover cure.
She shared: 'I don't drink much now that I'm so busy with my work, but when my nephew was turning 18, I thought, 'It won't hurt just this once.' I've always been a healthy eater, yet when it comes to wine, I don't think about whether it's healthy or not. I just follow my one rule: Only drink when I'm happy. Maybe it's because I know the liver can repair itself that I don't restrict myself when I fancy a glass of Pinot now and again. Regardless, it had been a while since I'd had a big blowout, so my body wasn't ready for the overindulgence that night. 'I woke up feeling very sick. It was something I hadn't felt for years and wasn't used to. I'm an emotional freedom technique practitioner and can usually remove pain or symptoms pretty easily, but on this occasion, I didn't have much time so I decided to try milk thistle. 'I suffer from hay fever and allergies and within minutes of taking milk thistle, I came out in hives. I took vitamin C as a natural antihistamine to counter the allergy, as I try to avoid conventional medicines. 'I'm not sure if it was the milk thistle alone or the combination with vitamin C, but the hangover sickness disappeared within half an hour. Unfortunately, the allergic rash lasted a couple of days, but I'd take the rash over the hangover any day!
