Three Beans Sober-Up Decoction
Samduhaejeong-tang
한글 삼두해정탕 · Pinyin San Dou Jie Cheng Tang
Decocted as one dose and taken at any time, slightly warm. The source commends it especially for those in whom drinking has begun to raise the wasting-thirst — good to take before wine as protection, and it also resolves drunkenness.
