Is medicinal liquor medicine or wine? Can I drink or not? Here comes the answer.
In fact, homemade medicinal liquor is very risky. There are also many cases of problems in drinking homemade medicinal liquor in daily life. A search on the internet is a lot, so can medicinal liquor still be drunk? Is it medicine or wine?
First of all, from the classification of medicinal liquor, in today's market, medicinal liquor is divided into three categories, namely health wine, traditional Chinese medicine medicinal liquor and medicinal and edible liquor.
Among them, Chinese medicinal liquor is extracted by distillation, impregnation, reflux and other forms. In order to ensure the taste, some honey, rock sugar and other items will be added to taste. This medicated wine is actually a kind of medicine, so you must consult a professional doctor before using it.
Health wine is an over-the-counter medicine. It is not the purpose of medicine, nor is it to cure diseases, but to protect and recuperate the body for some special people.
Medicinal and edible wine refers to the edible wine which is made up of traditional Chinese medicine and ingredients in a certain proportion and can be eaten as food in daily life.
Although it belongs to food, the production of this wine also has national standards. In 2020, the Ministry of Health formulated a normative document on "dual-use of medicine and food", which clearly stipulated related matters.
Finally, I would like to remind you that no matter what kind of wine it is, it must be clear about the dosage compatibility and meet the national sales standards before it can be sold.
In daily life, it is difficult to ensure the compatible dosage and safety of self-made medicinal liquor, which may bring unnecessary risks to health after drinking.
Therefore, it is not recommended that you prepare your own medicinal liquor to drink. If necessary, you can consult a professional doctor and pay more attention when preparing wine. There are four drugs that are not suitable for soaking wine.
