Alcoholism is a very real issue in our modern society, and it can be a difficult addiction to overcome. However, Ayurveda can help ease the withdrawal symptoms and eventually stop alcohol addiction altogether.

Here are a few home remedies to kick alcohol addiction:

• Grind coriander (dhania), capsicum (shimla mirch), and rock sugar. Soak 1 tsp of it in water and leave overnight. Next morning, filter and pour the water in a separate glass. Drink on an empty stomach.

• Lemon is a great detoxifier. So, mix a spoon of lemon juice with a pinch of salt and have it every morning on an empty stomach.

• Craving is a withdrawal symptom and one that is most difficult to deal with. When you crave a drink, eat sweets instead. Keep a few sweets with you at all times.

• Another detoxifier, curd (dahi) is beneficial if you want to overcome alcoholism. Include it in your everyday diet, preferably after a meal.

• Your diet should include fruits like pomegranate, apples and grapes. If not, their juices are good too. Try to take it at least three days a week.

• Instead of cooking oil, use ghee to cook food. You can also mix 10 gm of ghee with rock sugar and eat it. That acts as both an antioxidant and a detoxifier.

• Onion juice also helps in fighting alcoholism and reduces withdrawal symptoms. Take one spoon of onion juice everyday.
