This "ritual" carried out on active points located on the second ("index") toe.
The active point we need is located just below the nail of the second toe (see fig) – it represents the end point of the meridian of the stomach and is called Li-dui.
Meridian of the stomach – it is the path of energy that runs through your stomach.
In a hangover syndrome, this pathway is blocked, and the stomach experiences a lack of fluid.
To get rid of a hangover syndrome, you need to stimulate this active point in order to free the path for the flow of energy.
Step 2 – stimulation of the stomach meridian as a cure for a hangover
Using one finger, press (firmly, but not too hard) on the Li-dui point and massage it in a circular motion for two minutes in a clockwise direction, and then – counterclockwise (also for 2 minutes).

First, massage the indicated active point on the right leg, then – on the left. Repeat the massage if necessary.
Put your wrists under the water.
This method is great if the person is still drinking, but has already drunk too much and feels unwell.
If you're a bit overwhelmed, just put your wrists under cold water and hold them under running water for 3 minutes.
For hangovers, this trick will help cool the body from the inside and ease the discomfort. Simply place your wrists under cold running water for 30 seconds – 3 seconds – 3 minutes.
