It is not worth counting on a honey product as a panacea for alcoholism. We all know well that the favorite drink of many men on holidays is peppercorn with honey.

How to remove a hangover syndrome
This recipe will be relevant not only for those suffering from alcohol addiction, but also for those people who, during the holiday, allowed themselves to drink too much.
It is taken:
- a glass of warm water;
- four teaspoons of honey product.
The solution is drunk once an hour and so on until the unpleasant symptoms are removed.
You can replace the water with warm boiled milk – you get a tool not only to combat intoxication, but also a useful energy drink to restore physical strength.
Getting rid of addiction
Such home treatment is much like cleansing the body, and for this reason requires endurance from the patient himself..
On the first day, honey is consumed exclusively according to the following scheme:
- three hours after waking up – three teaspoons of honey product every 20-30 minutes, you can drink it with warm water;
- two hours break;
- the next three hours – every 20-30 minutes;
- three hours break;
- in the evening three more hours – an appointment every 20-30 minutes.
You can drink one glass of alcohol if it helps to cope with a hangover.
On the second day:
- on an empty stomach – three teaspoons of honey product;
- for breakfast (according to the method of Dr. Jarvis) – one or two boiled eggs;
- then – three times within an hour honey, two or three teaspoons, and so on until the evening.
To neutralize the sweet sugary taste, you can drink the honey product with chamomile tea or a decoction of St. John’s wort.… For preparation, you will need a teaspoon of herbal raw materials for 200-250 milliliters of water.
Herbs relieve intoxication, have a beneficial effect on the digestive system. Their decoctions and water infusions can be taken within 14-21 days after meals, starting from the second week of treatment.
Jarvis’ methodology
Dr. Jarvis believes that an alcoholic should not be discouraged from getting drunk. But as soon as the patient finishes drinking, they begin to treat him with natural honey.
In a state of intoxication, they give out six spoons every twenty minutes, then take a two-hour break and repeat the procedure. As soon as a person gets enough sleep, the next stage begins – the dispensing of honey in the morning.
In the morning, honey is given from three to six teaspoons every half hour. Then you need to have breakfast with two boiled eggs and immediately eat four more teaspoons.
It is assumed that this technique completely eliminates addiction, if you adhere to the dosages and treatment regimen.
Lemon juice
Drinking lemon juice is also practiced.
It is taken:
- a glass of warm water;
- two to three teaspoons of honey product;
- juice of one lemon.
It is necessary to drink such a cocktail daily, increasing the dose of lemon juice. The recipe is recommended for the prevention of drunkenness.
According to some reviews, you can drink juice from 15 lemons, diluted with honey water, per day. However, we we do not recommend doing this, especially with increased acidity of gastric juice. Lemons can cause allergic reactions. And their overabundance in the menu creates an additional burden on the gastrointestinal tract.
Edge
Pollen is good for relieving withdrawal symptoms.
It is necessary to eat a teaspoon of pollen 30-40 minutes before meals three times a day.
This product helps to strengthen the immune system, saturates the body with vitamins and minerals, restores damaged liver cells, and increases hemoglobin.

- ground walnut kernels;

On a note! Before starting home honey treatment, consult a narcologist or other healthcare professional. Despite the fact that this beekeeping product helps in detoxifying the body, calms the nervous system, gives sound sleep and helps the gastrointestinal tract to cope with stress, in some cases its use is unacceptable or impractical.
