The effective components in traditional Chinese medicine can penetrate into the wine with the soaking process and blend with the wine. Drugs have played a therapeutic role with the help of alcohol, participated in some Chinese medicine treatment processes, and also produced good results.
Drinking a few mouthfuls of medicinal liquor at ordinary times can not only strengthen the body, but also play a very good nourishing role, so it is deeply loved by people. But how safe is the medicinal liquor prepared by the family?
Relevant experts remind everyone: "Health wine is different from ordinary health care products, because its efficacy can promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, dredge meridians, dispel wind and relieve pain, and can help treat some joint pains, such as lumbago and leg pain.
Therefore, medicinal liquor is not entirely a health care product, but also has a dietotherapy effect, so how to make it and how to heat it must have a set of techniques. We must do in-depth research and follow the relevant requirements of the State Administration of Pharmaceutical Products to play a good role in people's health. ".

Mr. Zhang is 62 years old and has been addicted to health care since retirement. He usually likes to have a few drinks at dinner. Later, he heard from his friends that it was healthy to drink medicinal liquor, so he took out the white wine that had been treasured for many years, and then went to the drugstore to buy some nourishing Chinese herbal medicines and soaked them in the wine.
After three months, I finally made it. Mr. Zhang insists on drinking a cup of medicinal liquor every day. He thought that drinking medicinal liquor would get better and better. But when I went to sleep at night, Mr. Zhang always felt cold hands and feet, his lips were purple, his forehead and back were cold sweat, and he was short of breath and had some difficulty.
His wife found that Mr. Zhang was in a bad state and immediately sent him to the hospital. After a series of tests, Mr. Zhang returned to normal.
According to the doctor's understanding, it was known that Mr. Zhang soaked medicinal liquor with Radix Aconiti Kusnezoffii and Radix Aconiti, which made these two medicinal materials have the effect of expelling wind and removing dampness in traditional Chinese medicine, but they were often used externally, not orally.
Traditional Chinese medicines such as Radix Aconiti Kusnezoffii and Radix Aconiti may contain toxic substances such as aconitine, which can quickly paralyze the central nervous system of midbrain and cause damage to blood vessels and heart. In severe cases, respiratory paralysis may occur, even threatening life safety.
Tips: Aconitum is contained in Radix Aconiti and Radix Aconiti Kusnezoffii, which is highly toxic. Oral 0.2 mg will be toxic, and 3-4 mg may be fatal. Poisoning of Radix Aconiti and Radix Aconiti Kusnezoffii usually occurs after taking medicine for 30 minutes, with mild symptoms, such as numbness of lips, tongue and whole body, dizziness, restlessness, nausea and vomiting; In severe cases, arrhythmia, blood pressure drop, and finally ventricular fibrillation, heartbeat and breathing stop.

Expert: I don't advocate making my own medicinal liquor.
Because medicinal liquor has obvious pharmacological effects, its production involves the examination and approval of prescription composition, the selection of liquor, the quality control of medicinal materials, the scientific adoption of correctants and colorants, and the examination and approval of preparation technology and equipment and facilities.
Therefore, the relevant administrative departments of the state neither advocate nor allow ordinary people and various hotels to prepare medicinal liquor by themselves. Although the regulations do not allow it, many people still brew their own medicinal liquor.
From the perspective of modern medicine, it is extremely unscientific to distinguish between medicinal liquor and medicinal liquor. In the modern medical system, the concept is precise and clear, and medicine, wine and food are absolutely different things with clear boundaries.
But in traditional medicine, it is natural that medicine and food are homologous. Many times, the boundary between medicine and food is blurred, and it is difficult to distinguish them. For example, onions and ginger are condiments on the table and are eaten as vegetables; When you have a cold, you can sweat to dispel the cold and take medicine.
So is wine. Chinese medicine believes that when there is a traumatic injury, taking some blood-activating drugs with wine can speed up circulation and help to get rid of blood stasis.

Except Radix Aconiti Kusnezoffii and Radix Aconiti, these three herbs should be used with caution at ordinary times.
1, xanthium sibiricum
Xanthium sibiricum can inhibit the contraction function of the heart and weaken the heart rate, although Xanthium sibiricum can inhibit hypertension, hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia.
But at the same time, Xanthium sibiricum is also poisonous. If it is used unscientific and unauthorized, it may cause poisoning due to improper use. If you drink for a long time or drink too much, it may also cause bloating, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
2. Realgar
Realgar soaked in wine may also be poisoned. Realgar contains arsenic sulfide. Arsenic poisoning first damages nerve cells, poisons the central nervous system and produces a series of symptoms of central nervous system poisoning.
It can paralyze the vasomotor center and cause telangiectasia; It can also cause fatty degeneration and necrosis of liver, kidney, spleen and myocardium.
3. Insect traditional Chinese medicine
Insect herbs such as scorpion, centipede, toad and ground beetle have some clinical applications, but they are all toxic. For example:

These five types of people should not drink medicinal liquor.
1, couples of childbearing age
Drinking alcohol during pregnancy can easily lead to fetal alcohol syndrome. Children's deformities account for more than 80%, and they often have symptoms such as irritability, tremor, auditory allergy and low sucking response.
Even moderate drinking before pregnancy 1 week will inhibit the growth of the fetus and lead to a significant weight loss of the newborn.
2. Patients with liver disease
The liver function of hepatitis patients is not perfect, and the ability of detoxification is reduced. Drinking alcohol can make alcohol accumulate in the liver, damage liver cells, lose detoxification ability and aggravate the condition.
Chronic hepatitis patients who continue to drink alcohol will lead to chronic alcoholism and cirrhosis, and about 10% alcoholics will have liver disease. The incidence of liver cancer in drinkers is 12 times higher than that in non-drinkers.
At present, there is no special treatment for alcoholic liver disease. We should give up drinking completely, rest properly, pay attention to diet and take liver-protecting drugs.
3. Patients with hypertension
Among the complications of hypertension caused by drinking, cerebrovascular disease is the most common, and its mortality rate is three times that of infrequent drinkers.
After the same treatment is given to hypertensive patients who drink and do not drink, the diastolic blood pressure of drinkers is difficult to control, while the hypertension symptoms of non-drinkers are easy to control, so hypertensive patients should abstain from drinking.
4, fracture patients
Excessive drinking after fracture will damage the metabolism of bone tissue and make it lose its ability to grow and repair the damage. At the same time, alcohol will also affect the repair effect of drugs on bones. However, drinking a small amount of medicinal liquor will help the fracture heal as soon as possible.
5, stroke patients
Atrial fibrillation and cardiomyopathy caused by alcohol will reduce the output of the heart, cause mural thrombosis and cause cardiogenic cerebral embolism. Alcohol is also easy to cause strong vasodilation and contraction reactions, leading to blood pressure fluctuations.
In addition, you need to be reminded that no matter what reason you drink medicinal liquor, you should drink it in moderation, otherwise it will seriously affect your health. Therapeutic medicinal liquor should be taken according to the doctor's advice, and the best dosage of nourishing health wine is 10-50 ml per day.

Extended reading-the older the medicinal liquor, the better?
Drugs have a shelf life, not to mention medicinal liquor. Although alcohol has antiseptic and bactericidal effects, the sealing degree of home-made medicinal liquor is generally not up to standard, and it is easy to deteriorate if it is not made properly. Therefore, it is suggested to drink this medicinal liquor within half a year.
Although medicinal liquor has therapeutic effect, it is not a prescription drug after all and cannot replace the safety and medicinal value of prescription drugs. Medicinal liquor has certain medicinal properties and cannot be used as a guest wine to entertain others. If you feel unwell due to accidental drinking, you must be sent to the doctor in time.
