How to detoxify from alcohol?

Nowadays, people often have a lot of social engagements, and drinking is inevitable at these times. Frequent drinking can cause great harm to the body. If you drink too much, you will not only have symptoms of dizziness, nausea and vomiting, but in severe cases, it will often lead to people talking nonsense and becoming unconscious. At this time, you need to drink something to detoxify and reduce the harm of alcohol to the body.

1. Nutmeg

It has the functions of warming the middle, promoting the flow of qi, strengthening the intestines, stopping diarrhea, and digesting food. "Rihuazi Materia Medica" records that it "regulates the middle, relieves qi, stops diarrhea, stimulates appetite, and helps digestion. It can penetrate the skin, relieve qi, detoxify alcohol, and treat cholera." "Depei Materia Medica" also believes that it can "eliminate food stagnation and detoxify alcohol."

2. Citrus aurantium

It can cure drunkenness, fever, thirst, vomiting, and difficulty in defecation and urination, etc. "Southern Yunnan Materia Medica" clearly states that it "can treat all kinds of left paralysis and right paralysis, rheumatism and numbness, and can detoxify alcohol..." "The Effective Prescriptions of World Doctors" proposes Zhimu Juzi Pills to treat "constipation caused by excessive drinking." In addition, the fruit of the Chinese hawthorn tree can also help to sober up.

3. Pueraria flower

It is good at detoxifying alcohol, invigorating the spleen and stomach, and quenching thirst. It is mainly used to treat symptoms such as excessive drinking, headache and dizziness, thirst and vomiting, and chest fullness. "Treatise on the Spleen and Stomach" has Kudzu Flower Decoction for Relieving Drunkenness (drunkenness: being unconscious after being drunk) and "Compendium of Materia Medica in Southern Yunnan" has Kudzu Flower Pills for Clearing Heat, etc., all of which are used to treat drunkenness. In addition, Pueraria root and Pueraria seeds also have the effect of sobering up.

4. Amomum villosum

It has the functions of drying dampness and dispersing cold, removing phlegm and stopping malaria. Because of its aromatic aroma, it has the property of expelling turbidity. The "Compendium of Materia Medica" quotes Li Gao as saying: "It warms the spleen and stomach, stops vomiting, treats spleen cold and dampness, cold phlegm... eliminates food stagnation, eliminates alcohol poisoning, fruit accumulation, and also wards off malaria and plague."

5. Galangal

It has the functions of dispelling cold, relieving pain, warming the middle and stopping vomiting. "Compendium of Materia Medica" records that this herb "warms the stomach and dispels cold, helps digestion and sobers up, and treats cold pain in the stomach."

If you drink too much, you might want to try some of the Chinese medicine detoxification methods introduced above to reduce the harm of alcohol to your body. You can also take some simpler methods, such as drinking some honey water, eating some bananas, apples and other fruits, which can also play a good role in sobering up. Of course, if you want to reduce the harm of alcohol to your body, it is best to drink less. Drinking too much will definitely harm your body.
