Your Hangover Cure: Naju Pear

Korean pear (Pyrus pyrifolia ) has been used as a traditional medicine for alleviating alcohol

hangover.The consistent in vitro and in vivo data suggest that Korean pears stimulate the

two key alcohol‐metabolizing enzymes. These stimulations could be the main mechanism

of the Korean pear for alcohol detoxification. Finally, the results suggest that polymorphisms

of human ALDH2 could bring out individual variations in the effects of Korean pear on

alcohol detoxification.
