When it comes to hangovers, we've all heard of the supposed cures - from drinking raw eggs to taking a dip in the ocean.

But what about preventative measures you can take before you drink to avoid the dreaded alcohol-induced headaches?

Nicolle Merrilyne is a psychic medium from Seattle in the US.

She has come up with some unconventional rituals to avoid the dreaded hangover.

She told Moncrieff it's all about energy.

"All the rituals that I shared are pretty basic energy rituals, and I am trained under a psychic school.

"So gounding, protection, intention setting - it's not anything new or that crazy - but applying them to alcohol is something that I have done myself.

"[I] found just a lot of success with, with my own practices and also with my clients".

She said the practices don't change the chemical components of alcohol, but it does work on the energy of the drink.

"When we think about energy, everything is energy, everything has energy.

"And so when we are ingesting something, not only are we ingesting the physical thing, but we're also ingesting the energy that comes along with it.

"This really helps to clear out the energy, so that when you're ingesting that alcohol... it can shift how you absorb that energy, and the protection around your body, the intention.

"It really kind of helps to just create a more balanced and enjoyable experience".

She said energy from all around us can change our mood.

"We are absorbing other people's energy all the time - that's why sometimes you can leave a party or leave an event, and you're just like 'Why do I feel so icky?'

"There's people around you [and] if you're not protecting your energy, you could be absorbing maybe someone who had a bad day, or got a parking ticket or something frustrating happened to them.

"And unintentionally - they're not intentionally putting it into your drink - but their energy is present.

"And if they are mixing your alcohol, pouring your tequila shot, it could be possible that you're absorbing their energy too".
