As we all know, liquor has a long history of origin. Regarding the function of liquor, there is a saying that "liquor is the best medicine", which comes from History of Food in Hanshu, and it is the ancient people's high evaluation of the application of liquor in the medical field. The application of wine in medicine is also a great invention of Chinese medicine.

At the same time, using wine as medicine can also promote the efficacy.

In some books, we also found that liquor also has the effect of prolonging life. Such as longevity wine, which is beneficial to the elderly; Tonifying kidney, strengthening yang and rejuvenating wine. Mawangdui once unearthed a book "Fifty-two Diseases". There are 283 prescriptions in this book. Of these 283 prescriptions, 33 were used as medicine only with wine. In Ming Dynasty, Li Shizhen wrote Compendium of Materia Medica, which recorded more than 200 kinds of Chinese medicinal liquor.
Liquor plays a great role in medical care: taking a small amount of liquor at night can gently promote blood circulation and play a hypnotic role. Drinking a small amount of white wine can stimulate the secretion of gastric juice and saliva, thus playing the role of invigorating stomach, relieving pain, diuresis and expelling worms. Traditional Chinese medicine has a long history of using Chinese liquor to treat diseases or as a kidney-tonifying drug. Western medicine also often advises people who have a cold to drink brandy.
