Have you ever found yourself in these embarrassing situations? At a business dinner, you have to keep toasting one glass after another to secure an order, forcing a smile even though your stomach is in turmoil. During a friendly gathering, you get carried away with the merriment and end up with a splitting headache the next morning, feeling completely drained. Or during festivals and family visits, you can't refuse the enthusiastic offers of relatives, only to drink until you're barely conscious, with various discomforts hitting you afterward.
In China, the culture of alcohol runs deep. Baijiu, a traditional Chinese liquor, dates back over 2,000 years, while the history of fruit wine can be traced back 6,000 to 7,000 years. Alcohol plays a significant role in our lives. When consumed in moderation, it can improve blood circulation, relieve fatigue, and bring us pleasure. However, once the intake of ethanol exceeds the limit, a series of hazards ensue. Symptoms like lethargy, gastric bleeding, liver damage, and central nervous system paralysis not only affect the quality of life but also pose a serious threat to our health.
The liver, as the main organ for ethanol metabolism, bears the brunt of the damage. Long - term alcohol consumption can lead to serious problems such as liver cell swelling and necrosis, putting our health defenses at great risk. When tormented by the discomfort caused by alcohol, we desperately long for a "magic cure" that can quickly relieve the pain of drunkenness and protect our liver.
Currently, the common treatment methods for excessive alcohol consumption or alcohol poisoning mainly include chemical drugs and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Although chemical drugs can temporarily relieve the symptoms of drunkenness to some extent, they need to be metabolized by the liver, and the hepatotoxicity during the metabolism process actually adds to the liver's burden, making them unsuitable for long - term liver conditioning. TCM, on the other hand, has gradually become the focus of attention due to its ability to effectively relieve the adverse reactions of drunkenness, regulate liver function, and treat alcoholic liver damage. Unfortunately, the existing TCM - based anti - hangover products on the market are of varying quality. Most of them can only temporarily relieve surface symptoms such as dizziness and nausea, and some even contain excitatory active ingredients, failing to address the root causes. Is there no reliable anti - hangover product?
Just when people were searching high and low, the research team led by Miao Jinxin from Henan University of Chinese Medicine brought exciting news! After unremitting efforts, they developed a compound Chinese herbal anti - hangover composition and its preparation method, covering multiple technical fields such as traditional Chinese medicine pharmaceuticals and health products. This compound Chinese herbal anti - hangover composition is like a "health guardian" tailor - made for drinkers. It has multiple effects including refreshing the mind, relieving drunkenness, and protecting the liver. It can effectively reduce various discomforts after drinking and has both the functions of quickly relieving hangovers and preventing drunkenness. Since its launch, it has quickly become a favorite among drinkers.
So, what makes this Chinese herbal composition so special? Its ingredient combination is truly exquisite. It consists of Pueraria Flower (Ge Hua), Tangerine Peel (Chen Pi), Indian Bread (Fu Ling), Polyporus (Zhu Ling), Medicated Leaven (Shen Qu), Dried Ginger (Gan Jiang), Danshen (Salvia Miltiorrhiza), Cape Jasmine Fruit (Zhi Zi), Scutellaria Root (Huang Qin), Coptis Rhizome (Huang Lian), Milk Thistle (Shui Fei Ji), Chinese Wolfberry (Gou Qi), Barley Sprouts, Curcumin, Oyster Extract, Chitin, Vitamin C, etc. Among them, Pueraria Flower cools the body and relieves hangovers, expelling damp - heat through the skin, and is regarded as the "chief herb", playing a crucial role in the "battlefield" of relieving hangovers and protecting the liver. Indian Bread and Polyporus promote diuresis to remove alcohol - related dampness, while Tangerine Peel and Dried Ginger regulate qi, resolve stagnation, wake up the spleen, aid digestion, and stop vomiting. Together, they act as "assistant herbs", helping the chief herb to exert its effects better. Medicated Leaven and Barley Sprouts strengthen the spleen and eliminate food retention. Cape Jasmine Fruit, Scutellaria Root, Coptis Rhizome, and Milk Thistle clear heat and dry dampness. Danshen promotes blood circulation and regulates the liver, and Chinese Wolfberry nourishes the liver and kidneys. These herbs work in harmony as "adjuvant herbs", with each ingredient complementing the others to achieve the goals of refreshing the mind, relieving hangovers, and protecting the liver, just like a well - trained "health guard team" safeguarding our bodies in all aspects.
In the preparation process, every step reflects the painstaking efforts of the research team. The required amounts of Pueraria Flower, Tangerine Peel, and other herbs are accurately weighed, washed thoroughly, and then decocted 3 - 5 times. Each time, 6 - 8 times the original amount of water is added. The filtrate is extracted by filtration, and the extraction liquids are combined and concentrated. Meanwhile, oysters are cleaned and extracted 2 - 3 times with 75% ethanol, and the extraction liquids are collected and concentrated. Finally, the two concentrated extraction liquids are mixed, and Curcumin, Chitin, and Vitamin C are added and stirred evenly to obtain the active ingredients of the Chinese herbal composition. Such a rigorous preparation process ensures that every drop of the product is filled with "health - boosting energy".
Actions speak louder than words. To verify the efficacy of this Chinese herbal composition, the research team conducted rigorous animal and human experiments.
In the animal experiments, an acute alcohol - poisoned mouse model was first established. Thirty mice were divided into three groups: the model group, the high - dose group (0.24ml/20g), and the low - dose group (0.12ml/20g), with 10 mice in each group. The model group was administered normal saline by gavage, and 30 minutes after the high - and low - dose groups were given the composition by gavage, all three groups were administered 56 - proof Erguotou liquor at a dose of 16mL/kg by gavage. The experimental results were astonishing: the blood ethanol concentrations of the mice in the high - and low - dose groups were significantly lower than that of the model group, indicating that the anti - hangover formula can effectively reduce the ethanol content in the blood after drinking. The latency period before the mice in the model group became drunk was 18.4 minutes, and the duration of drunkenness was 461.7 minutes. In contrast, the latency period of the high - dose group was extended to 29.8 minutes, and that of the low - dose group was 24.5 minutes. The duration of drunkenness in the high - and low - dose groups was shortened to 232.6 minutes and 266.2 minutes, respectively, fully demonstrating the significant anti - hangover effect of the compound Chinese herbal anti - hangover oral liquid in the high - and low - dose groups. Just imagine, if our human bodies could have such powerful anti - hangover capabilities, how much suffering could we avoid after drinking?
Next, an alcoholic liver injury mouse model was established. Forty mice were adaptively raised for one week and then randomly divided into four groups, with 10 mice in each group. The blank group was given normal saline by gavage every day, while the model group and the treatment groups were given 56 - proof Erguotou liquor by gavage every day for two consecutive weeks. From the 15th day, the blank group continued to be given normal saline by gavage, and the other groups were given 50% alcohol by gavage. Four hours later, they were respectively given normal saline or high - and low - dose anti - hangover oral liquid by gavage, and this continued for another two weeks. The experimental data showed that compared with the blank group, the levels of serum AST and ALT in the model group mice increased significantly, while the AST and ALT levels in the high - and low - dose groups were significantly lower than those in the model group, indicating that the compound Chinese herbal anti - hangover oral liquid has a certain liver - protecting effect. Further research found that compared with the blank group, the SOD activity in the model group decreased significantly, and the MDA level increased significantly, indicating an imbalance in the oxidation - reduction state in the liver - injured mice. However, the SOD activity in the liver of the high - and low - dose groups increased significantly, and the MDA level decreased significantly, meaning that the compound Chinese herbal anti - hangover oral liquid can relieve the liver damage caused by ethanol in mice by enhancing the body's antioxidant capacity. In terms of liver cell morphology, the liver cells of the mice in the blank group had a complete morphological structure, were neatly arranged, with normal cell nuclei and no fatty degeneration. The liver cells in the model group had an incomplete structure, disordered arrangement, blurred boundaries, and extensive vacuolar degeneration. Both the high - and low - dose groups could reduce the vacuolar degeneration in the cytoplasm to varying degrees, with the high - dose group showing the best effect. These experimental results fully demonstrate that the compound Chinese herbal anti - hangover oral liquid can effectively improve acute alcoholic liver injury.
The outstanding performance in animal experiments was just the beginning. The human experiments also achieved remarkable results. In the experiment on the preventive effect against drunkenness, 83 healthy drinkers aged 22 - 40 (excluding those with various contraindications) were recruited. Thirty minutes before they were about to drink, they were provided with the compound Chinese herbal anti - hangover oral liquid, with each person taking 100 - 150mL. These subjects had an average alcohol intake of 300 - 500mL, and their reactions were recorded two hours after the end of drinking. The results showed that 93.21% of the drinkers had no vomiting, headache, or other obvious discomfort; 96.73% of the drinkers spoke clearly and had normal logic; 83.44% of the drinkers basically returned to normal. It's like putting on a layer of "protective armor" for drinkers in advance, allowing them to enjoy the wine without worrying about the various embarrassments and discomforts caused by drunkenness.
In the experiment on the anti - hangover effect, 133 drinkers aged 25 - 42 (also excluding those with contraindications) were recruited. Thirty minutes after they drank, they were provided with the compound Chinese herbal anti - hangover oral liquid, with each person taking 100 - 150mL, and their reactions were recorded two hours after taking the anti - hangover oral liquid. The data showed that 94.71% of the drinkers' complexions returned to normal, the feeling of vomiting disappeared, the headache was significantly relieved, and other discomforts were also significantly reduced; 95.84% of the drinkers spoke clearly, had normal logic, and clear memories; 86.17% of the drinkers basically recovered. Whether already suffering from drunkenness or wanting to quickly recover from a hangover, this Chinese herbal composition can exert its powerful effects, allowing drinkers to quickly "get back on their feet".
Based on the results of both animal and human experiments, this compound Chinese herbal anti - hangover composition can significantly reduce the blood ethanol content after drinking, delay the onset of drunkenness, shorten the duration of drunkenness, and effectively relieve various discomforts after drinking. It has the dual functions of quickly relieving hangovers and preventing drunkenness. At the same time, it can relieve the liver damage caused by alcohol by enhancing the body's antioxidant capacity and effectively improve the development of alcohol - induced liver tissue lesions.
