As far as treating " drinking too much " .. How about a toothpick " through and

through " Stomach 45. The only herbal school I would look to would be the

purgatives. Maybe vomit therapy would suit them. I find it difficult to

believe that the group actually seriously entertained the question.

Definitely the " Lowest form " of medicine...I do not even think it even falls

under a heirarchy Shen Nung could have ever predicted.---This herbal formula

is sponsored by Coors...you can drink all you want and not worry about

it.....little sarcasm..Kelly

Actually, Kelly,

Alcohol poisoning is mentioned in quite a few works. . . .Li Dong-yuan and Zhu Dan-xi mention it in their writings. It has always been a problem, and one the Chinese tried to treat compassionately.

Kelly,

 

I appreciate your sarcasm. Ironically enough, however, Li Dong-Yuan himself

seemed to have experience prescribing hangover remedies. See Ge Hua Jie

Cheng Tang in Book 3 chapter 14 entitled " Damage Due to Excessive Drinking

of Wine " :)

The chinese do not seem to have been big proponents of altered states

of consciousness, yet alcohol use seems the be the exception

(ironically the case in many stable civilizations such as our own).

Occasional drunkeness is hardly a disease to be condemned. we need to

separate occasional recreational use of substances from reckless abuse.

I know the AA crowd disagrees, but substances can indeed be used

casually and for expansion of consciousness. the history of

civilization is bound up with mind altering substances and I believe

there would have never been anything resembling human consciousness and

civilization without them. In china, certain martial arts forms

involve the use of alcohol; Jackie chan's drunken master is not pure

fiction. the taoist imbiber is part and parcel of china's spiritual

heritage. Tantric aghoras use alcohol and other substances as part of

their spiritual path. Just because many get waylaid by this pursuit

does not negate it for all. My tantric techers believed most people

should stay away from substances, but some would advance by their use.

We should certainly not support alcoholic behavior, but also recognize

there is more to it than this limited worldview.
