Individuals addicted to alcohol may experience attacks of alcohol toxin, manifesting as headache and vertigo, throat stuffiness, or diarrhea of clear fluid dozens of times a day, with physical and mental exhaustion.

Use five qian of Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium (Chenpi), one qian of Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao), and three qian of Coptidis Rhizoma (Chuanlian). Stir-fry these three ingredients lightly, grind into powder, and mix evenly with one liang of Pinus Massoniana Spora (Songhuafen). Take two qian per dose, morning and evening, washed down with boiling water. Recovery occurs within two days.
