Wine, known as "the length of a hundred medicines", is a kind of medicinal liquor that "dissolves" Chinese medicine and wine, and is also deeply loved by many people. People believe that some medicinal liquor can nourish and treat diseases. Many people have the habit of preparing their own medicinal liquor, but not everyone can drink their own medicinal liquor.
Five kinds of people should not drink medicinal liquor.
1, allergic to alcohol;
2. People with various skin diseases;
3. Patients with epilepsy, heart disease, hypertension, tuberculosis and acute and chronic renal insufficiency;
4. Women who are breastfeeding or menstruating;
5. People with colds, fever, vomiting, diarrhea and other diseases.
Four taboos must be paid attention to when drinking medicinal liquor.
1, symptoms of not drinking.
Patients with chronic nephritis, chronic renal insufficiency, chronic colitis, hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, peptic ulcer, infiltrative or cavitary pulmonary tuberculosis, epilepsy, cardiac insufficiency, hypertension, etc.
It is forbidden to drink alcohol, even medicinal liquor, so as not to aggravate the condition.
However, it is not absolute. Taking targeted low-alcohol medicinal liquor for some diseases is not only harmless, but also beneficial. But use it with caution. In addition, people who are allergic to alcohol or some patients with skin diseases should also ban or use medicinal liquor with caution.
2. people who are not suitable for drinking
Any medicinal liquor or wine is not suitable for everyone, and it is forbidden to drink if it is not suitable.
For example, pregnant women, nursing mothers and children can't drink medicated wine or drink alcohol. Old and frail people, due to relatively slow metabolic function, should also drink less medicinal liquor, not more.
3. How much medicinal liquor do you drink at a time?
The best dosage is about 20 ml (half a second) a day, and it is not suitable for long-term drinking to avoid the damage of alcohol to the heart, liver, kidney and nervous system of human body.
People who are not good at drinking can choose low-alcohol fermented wine, such as yellow wine and rice wine, to prepare nourishing medicinal liquor. People who can drink can prepare medicinal liquor to treat diseases, and according to the specific situation, they can choose distilled liquor with higher degree, such as shochu and Daqu, with the degree of about 50 degrees.
Nourishing medicinal liquor should be taken before meals, so that it can be quickly absorbed by the human body and exert its efficacy quickly. It should not be taken with meals, so as not to affect the efficacy. The best dosage is about 20 ml (half a second) a day, and it is not suitable for long-term drinking to avoid the damage of alcohol to the heart, liver, kidney and nervous system of human body.
Those who use therapeutic medicinal liquor should be prepared and taken according to the doctor's prescription or experience.
The method of taking medicinal liquor should also be based on physical fitness and age.
Patients with chronic hepatitis, fatty liver, acute and chronic nephritis, hypertension, gastric ulcer and other diseases should use it with caution, and those who are allergic to alcohol are prohibited. Old people, women and children should be treated in a small amount, and a low degree is appropriate.
Stop taking it in case of cold, fever, sore throat and tracheitis. Women with menorrhagia should use blood-activating medicinal liquor with caution.
4. Choose medicinal liquor according to the condition.
Every medicinal liquor has its own scope of application, and you can't drink it when you see it. In case of cold, fever, vomiting, diarrhea and other diseases, people should choose adaptive medicinal liquor instead of nourishing medicinal liquor.
What should I pay attention to when making my own medicinal liquor?
1, the choice of wine
Generally speaking, it is better to choose wine with a temperature above 50 degrees, because the wine with a temperature above 50 degrees can kill germs, harmful microorganisms, parasites and eggs attached to Chinese herbal medicines to a great extent in the process of soaking, and can be drunk under safe conditions.
2. Selection and treatment of medicinal materials soaked in wine
Animal medicines should be washed with clear water and baked in a stove or oven, giving off a faint fragrance. Baking can not only remove water, but also achieve the effect of sterilization and maintain the alcohol concentration of soaked wine. It can also make the effective components more soluble in wine and have a mellow feeling when drinking. All animal medicines that have deteriorated or become moldy should be discarded. In addition, all mineral drugs containing toxic components, such as mercury, arsenic, chromium, lead, etc., are not suitable for soaking wine.
3. Time for soaking medicinal liquor
The brewing time of medicinal liquor is about 15-30 days. During brewing, it can be stirred and shaken 1 time every day. After brewing, it can be filtered into juice for drinking. The temperature of brewing medicinal liquor is also very particular. The brewing time is short at high temperature and long at low temperature. When the remaining 10% medicinal liquor is finished, it should be soaked in white wine for the second time to avoid deterioration.
