Drug therapy

First of all, the drunk person needs to drink a sufficient amount of water, at least equal to the amount of alcohol consumed, to dilute the alcohol concentration in the body and help the alcohol excretion process to be quick and smooth. Then, depending on the specific conditions, one of the following remedies can be used:

Lesson 1: Squeeze 1 fresh lemon for juice to drink or slice thinly and eat the whole fruit, even better.

Lesson 2: Dong leaves (used to wrap banh chung) 100 - 200g, wash thoroughly, crush, squeeze to get the juice to drink.

Recipe 3: 30g dried tangerine peel (the older the better) roasted until fragrant and crushed, 2 sour apricots, seedless and chopped. Boil both ingredients over low heat with 360ml water, after 30 minutes, filter out the residue and take the water to drink. If you add a little fresh ginger juice or tea, it's even better.

Lesson 4: 60g orange peel, wash, dry, grind into powder, give 6g with warm water, if not effective, give a few more times.

Lesson 5: 1 handful of tea leaves, 60g crushed mung beans, 10g camphor leaves. Steep all in boiling water in a sealed container, after about 15 minutes it is ready to use, divided into several drinks.

Lesson 6: 5g tea buds, 16g dried kumquat (can use kumquat jam or fresh kumquat) chopped. Steep both ingredients in boiling water, drink strong.

Lesson 7: Tea buds 9g, fresh carrots 60g, squash peel 15g. Boil the three ingredients and drink.

Lesson 8: 50g fresh areca nut, remove green skin and seeds, 12g licorice (half raw, half salted). Steep all in boiling water in a sealed container, after about 20 minutes it is ready to use, divide into several servings.

Lesson 9: Arrowroot flowers (if not available, use arrowroot tubers instead) 10g, decoct to drink. Can also be brewed with 5g tea buds, 10g green beans with boiling water, divided into several doses.

Lesson 10: 50g lemon peel, 50g tangerine peel, 25g kudzu flower, 25g mung bean flower, 10g ginseng, 10g nutmeg, 30g salt. Dry the ingredients, grind into powder, store in a sealed container for later use. When drunk, take 5-7g mixed with water to drink, 3 times a day.

Acupressure massage

First, press the love eye acupressure point for 3 - 5 minutes.

Location of the Yêu nhãn acupoint: Raise the drunk person's hand and lean slightly to the side, the depression on both sides of the waist (corresponding to the 4th lumbar vertebra) will be clearly visible, the acupoint is located in the middle of the depression bottom, measuring 3.8 inches horizontally from the spinous process of the 4th lumbar vertebra.

Next, press and massage the Thai xung acupoint for 3 - 5 minutes.

Location of the Taichong acupoint: press the big toe against the second toe, the acupoint is located on the instep of the foot, measuring 2 inches from the beginning of the space between the two toes. It can also be determined by taking the acupoint at the midpoint of the line connecting the tip of the big toe with the horizontal crease of the ankle.

Finally, proceed to rub the entire instep of the foot. If the drunk person can stand up, let them stand against a wall and use the heel of one foot to stomp hard and rub the instep of the other foot and vice versa for 5-6 minutes.
