Entertainment was essential in ancient times, so what methods did the ancients have to sober up?
Drinking is indispensable in modern social activities, and so is it in ancient times. The life of the ancients was inseparable from drinking, especially those literati, senior officials and officials, because the ancients had parties like modern people, and the ancients were also drunk. So how did they solve the problem?

Next, let's take a look at the ancient methods of hangover relief. Compared with modern people, the ancient methods of hangover relief are mild and healthy, because most ancient methods of hangover relief use more Chinese herbal medicines. These herbs are nutmeg, bitter orange, kudzuvine flower, tsaoko, galangal, chrysanthemum, bamboo shavings, Sophora flavescens and white lentils.

According to many artistic records, these Chinese herbal medicines have the effects of "relieving hangover, warming spleen and stomach, and stopping vomiting", thus achieving the purpose of sobering up. In addition, some poor families will use orange peel to sober up, but the way to sober up with orange peel is not immediately available. Need to be prepared in advance. Compared with the existing sober-up pills, the ancient sober-up methods are indeed healthier.

The method of sobering up in ancient China was normal, but some ancient people in the west had strange ways, such as adding bird's beak to tree juice, pickling sheep's eyes, and even some drunken people licked their sweat to relieve the pain caused by hangover, and even swallowed eggs raw. In fact, I really want to ask if these methods are really reliable? Would it be disgusting if modern people tried it? Fortunately, there is no such inedible way to sober up in China, otherwise I think many people are unwilling to drink any more!
