Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Siler, also known as Fang Feng (Saposhnikovia divaricata), is a traditional herb used in Chinese medicine, primarily for its purported abilities to expel "wind" and relieve pain. Its use in the context of hangover treatment is rooted in traditional practices rather than robust scientific validation. In Chinese medicine, hangovers are sometimes conceptualized as an invasion of "wind" or as a disruption in the body's balance, and Siler is included in some ancient formulas intended to restore equilibrium and alleviate symptoms such as headache and body aches. However, there is minimal modern clinical or pharmacological evidence specifically supporting Siler's effectiveness in treating hangovers. Most available studies on Siler focus on its anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating properties, rather than direct effects on alcohol metabolism or hangover symptoms. Therefore, while its use is justified by tradition in certain herbal formulations, the scientific evidence to support its efficacy for hangover relief is very limited.
