Bhaang Thandai during Holi is an Indian tradition that has been followed through generations. If you think you or someone around you has had more bhaang, here are ways to reduce its effect

Drinking plenty of water or fresh fruit juices can help flush out THC (the active compound in bhaang) from your system. Fluids like lemon water, coconut water, or buttermilk can also help balance electrolytes

Consuming sugary foods or drinks can help counteract the intoxicating effects of bhaang. Sweets, jaggery, or even a spoonful of honey can help neutralise its impact

Chewing black peppercorns or drinking lemon juice is a traditional remedy for reducing bhaang’s psychoactive effects

Since bhaang affects the nervous system, resting in a quiet and dimly lit room can help. Try to lie down and take deep breaths to relax your body and mind. A short nap can also help as the body processes the substance

Drinking ginger tea, tulsi tea, or warm milk can soothe your stomach and help reduce the uneasy feeling caused by bhaang
