Medicinal liquor can be divided into disease-preventing medicinal liquor and health-care medicinal liquor. The medicinal liquor for treating diseases is relatively strong, and it is about [10-30] ml each time. If necessary, please consult a doctor first.
Health wine is generally mild, and it is better to drink 50ml at a time.
In autumn and winter, many people are keen on making their own wine. Ginseng, medlar, astragalus, hippocampus, aconite ... as long as they are nourishing or treating diseases, they dare to soak and drink. At the dinner party, I will also take out precious medicinal liquor to share with my relatives and friends. In fact, this practice is unscientific. Associate Professor Nie Hong of the First Affiliated Hospital of Heilongjiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine reminded the public that the chemical composition and pharmacological effects of traditional Chinese medicine are very complicated. The brewing of medicinal liquor should be guided by a professional Chinese pharmacist. You should not drink too much at a time, and everyone has different physiques and different adaptability to medicinal liquor. Therefore, self-made medicinal liquor and drinking medicinal liquor should be scientific to avoid going into misunderstanding. Nie Hong introduced that wine is the best medicine, and wine has a close relationship with Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine soaking in wine has a history of thousands of years in China. There is a saying in Neijing Suwen that "the sages made the decoction", and the decoction is the medicinal liquor for treating diseases.
Medicinal liquor usually has different characteristics according to the different drugs used. Tonifying drugs have different functions of enriching blood, nourishing yin, strengthening yang and benefiting qi, while doctors have different functions of resolving phlegm, eliminating dampness, regulating qi, promoting blood circulation and promoting digestion, which cannot be universal. Nie Hong stressed that drinking medicinal liquor should be based on people's physical fitness, season, region, age, gender and other differences, especially to avoid the following five misunderstandings-
Recognize the efficacy of medicinal liquor before taking it. General medicinal liquor is divided into therapeutic medicinal liquor and nourishing medicinal liquor. The former has a specific medical function and is mainly prepared according to the doctor's prescription or experience, with obvious clinical effect and strict taking method. Nourishing wine is common in the market, which has health care function and should be taken according to personal situation.
Many people will take out carefully brewed medicinal liquor to share with friends and family at dinner. This is actually wrong. Medicinal liquor itself is effective. Usually, you can't take medicine with meals. You should also abide by this rule when taking medicinal liquor. Taking wine with food will not only stimulate the digestive tract, but also affect the curative effect.
The more medicated wine you drink, the better. The dosage of medicinal liquor must be controlled. Ancient physicians once clearly pointed out: "medicated wine should be taken less to make up for deficiency, and it is slow to take effect." Medicinal liquor should be taken according to the individual's tolerance for wine. Generally, it is advisable to take 15 ~ 30ml each time, and drink 1 time in the morning and evening or three times a day. Different from drinking too much liquor, drinking too much medicinal liquor will have the same consequences as eating too much medicine, which will seriously affect your health.
The older the medicinal liquor, the better. Many people mistakenly think that wine is the fragrance of aging, and the longer the medicinal liquor should be soaked, the better. That was not the case. Pay attention to aging when drinking medicinal liquor and store it properly. Generally, it is best to store high-quality wine for 4 ~ 5 years. If it continues to be stored, the alcohol content will be reduced, the taste of the wine will become weak, the aroma will disappear and the efficacy will be affected. If there is a lot of precipitation or rancidity, you must not drink it again.
Nie Hong added that because medicinal liquor is brewed with wine, people who have taboos on wine should not take medicinal liquor, such as patients with liver disease, hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke, fracture, skin disease, alcohol allergy, pregnant women and lactating women.
