A hangover prevention patch is a small adhesive patch that is placed on the skin to help prevent the symptoms of a hangover. The patches contain ingredients that help to metabolize alcohol and reduce the body’s production of acetaldehyde, which is thought to be responsible for many of the unpleasant symptoms associated with a hangover.
There is no guaranteed way to completely prevent a hangover, but the use of a hangover prevention patch may help to reduce the severity of symptoms. The patches are available over-the-counter and are typically worn for several hours before drinking alcohol.
How does the hangover prevention patch work?
If you’ve ever had a hangover, you know how terrible they can be. The headache, nausea, fatigue — it’s enough to make you never want to drink again. But of course, we all know that’s not realistic. That’s where the hangover prevention patch comes in.
The patch is a small, adhesive sticker that you apply to your skin before drinking. It contains an active ingredient called DHM (dihydromyricetin), which is derived from an Asian plant called Hovenia Dulcis. DHM has been used for centuries in China and Korea to treat hangovers and other alcohol-related problems.
