Advantages of medicinal liquor
Why people pay more and more attention to and welcome medicinal liquor and are willing to accept it has its unique advantages. To sum up, it is mainly manifested in the following aspects:
1. has a wide range of application. Medicinal liquor can not only treat diseases and prevent diseases, but also treat 190 kinds of common frequently-occurring diseases and some difficult diseases in clinical departments; It can also preserve health, beautify and moisturize skin; It can also be used for aftercare after illness, daily drinking and prolonging life, which is really miraculous. No wonder some people call medicinal liquor divine wine, which is a fragrant spring in China's medical treasure house.
2. Easy to take. Drinking medicinal liquor is different from other dosage forms of traditional Chinese medicine, which can reduce the dosage and is convenient to take. In some medicinal liquor prescriptions, although there are many kinds of drugs, after being made into medicinal liquor, all the effective components in the drugs are dissolved in the wine, and the dosage is obviously smaller than that of decoction and pill, so it is also very convenient to take. Moreover, because the medicinal liquor is purchased/kloc-0 times or prepared by oneself, it can be taken for a long time, and it is not necessary to buy decoctions frequently, thus reducing unnecessary repeated troubles and saving time and labor.
3. absorb quickly. It is absorbed quickly after drinking medicinal liquor, and it can exert its efficacy as soon as possible. Because the human body absorbs wine quickly, the nature of drugs (medicinal properties) enters the blood circulation through the absorption of wine and flows throughout the body, which can quickly play a therapeutic role. Clinical observation shows that the curative effect is generally 4-5 times faster than decoction and faster than pill.
4. The dosage can be effectively controlled. The decoction/kloc-0 is taken more or less with different consistency, while the medicinal liquor is a homogeneous solution, and the effective components in unit volume are fixed. If taken according to the prescribed amount (drinking amount), the therapeutic dose can be effectively controlled, and it is generally safe to drink.
People are willing to accept it. Taking medicinal liquor is neither spicy nor bitter, and it is more peaceful and applicable. Because most medicinal liquor is permeated with sugar and honey, sugar and honey, as part of the prescription, have certain corrective and deodorizing effects, so it is sweet and pleasant to take. People who are used to drinking like to drink, even those who are not used to drinking are willing to accept medicinal liquor because it avoids the bitter taste of medicine and is sweet and pleasing to the eye.
6. Medicinal liquor is easier to preserve than other medicines. Because the wine itself has a certain bactericidal and antiseptic effect, as long as it is properly prepared and sealed from light, the medicinal liquor can be preserved for a long time and will not deteriorate.
7. Quick effect and high curative effect.
Precautions for taking medicine and drinking.
When drinking medicinal liquor, besides the taboo of medicinal liquor, you must also pay attention to the following points:
1. It is not advisable to drink alcohol and medicinal liquor when taking some western medicines. Do not take the following drugs continuously after drinking and medicated wine: (1) Heavy drinking and taking barbiturates can cause severe central depression. When drinking a proper amount of wine and taking a sedative dose of barbiturates at the same time, it will cause obvious central depression, which will make patients' reaction ability low, judgment and analysis ability decline, and there will be obvious sedative and hypnotic effects. If the dose is increased, it will lead to a coma accident. (2) antipsychotics chlorpromazine, promethazine, perphenazine, diazepam, antiallergic drugs chlorpheniramine, cyproheptadine, diphenhydramine, etc. If used with wine, it also has synergistic inhibitory effect on the central nervous system, making people sleepy; In addition, it will lower people's blood pressure, cause coma, and even cause respiratory depression and death. (3) When taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors, the activities of various enzymes in human body will be inhibited. At this time, drinking alcohol will increase the concentration of acetaldehyde in the blood because the enzyme system that decomposes alcohol is inhibited, leading to acetaldehyde poisoning, nausea, vomiting, headache, blood pressure drop and other reactions. Alcohol can also induce the increase of drug catabolic enzymes, thus shortening the action time of anticoagulant drugs. (4) Alcohol can inhibit coagulation factors and dilate peripheral blood vessels. Therefore, alcohol and anticoagulants cannot be taken at the same time. (5) Drug enzyme induction of alcohol can accelerate the decomposition of rifampicin, which is very toxic to the liver; It can also accelerate the decomposition of phenytoin sodium, aminopyrine and other drugs, thus reducing the role of drugs. (6) Diabetic patients should abstain from drinking alcohol during taking medicine, because a small amount of drinking can increase the secretion of drug enzymes and reduce the efficacy of hypoglycemic drugs such as insulin and hypoglycemic drugs, thus failing to achieve therapeutic effects. If you drink a lot of alcohol, it will inhibit the secretion of traditional Chinese medicine enzymes in the liver, enhance the role of hypoglycemic drugs, lead to serious hypoglycemia reaction, and even coma and death. (7) After that, patients with cardiovascular diseases should abstain from drinking when taking medicine to avoid serious adverse reactions. Patients who take nitroglycerin, if they drink a lot, will cause gastrointestinal discomfort, blood pressure drop and even faint. (8) Patients with hypertension who drink alcohol and take antihypertensive drugs such as eye drops, bendazole hydrochloride or diuretics such as furosemide, uric acid and chlorthalidone will all cause postural hypotension. When taking Youjiangning, the reaction will be more serious, such as nausea, vomiting, chest tightness, dyspnea and even hypertensive crisis. (9) Alcoholism will aggravate and induce the toxic and side effects of various drugs, and alcoholics will have alcoholic hepatitis. If they take methotrexate again, it will interfere with choline content, aggravate liver injury, increase alanine aminotransferase, and cause liver coma and respiratory depression. (10) Alcohol and aspirin can inhibit the secretion of gastric mucosa, increase the shedding of epithelial cells, destroy the barrier effect of gastric mucosa on acid, block the role of vitamin K in the liver, prevent the formation of prothrombin in the liver, cause hemorrhagic gastritis, aggravate gastric bleeding or lead to gastric perforation and other serious consequences. (1 1) The combination of alcohol and sulfonamides will enhance the psychotoxicity of alcohol. However, the combination of griseofulvin and wine is prone to emotional abnormalities and neurological symptoms. When alcohol is used with digitalis preparations such as digoxin, it can reduce the blood potassium concentration, enhance the body's sensitivity to digitalis drugs, and lead to poisoning.
2. Avoid excessive drinking for some diseases. For example: (1) Patients with liver disease should avoid excessive drinking. Because hepatitis patients' liver function is not perfect and their detoxification ability is reduced, drinking alcohol will accumulate in the liver, damage liver cells, further lose their 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. Women drink less than men, but cirrhosis is earlier and more serious than men. The incidence of liver cancer in drinkers is 12 times higher than that in non-drinkers. Alcohol is also an inhibitor of pepsin, which hinders the intake of protein and affects digestion and absorption. Drinking alcohol in patients with hepatitis can lead to malnutrition cirrhosis. Asymptomatic patients with hepatitis B may have no symptoms of hepatitis and normal liver function, but they carry hepatitis B virus surface antigen. Scientists have found that most of these people have different degrees of liver lesions. Foreign scientists tested 296 asymptomatic anti-Australians. When the subjects drink less than 60 grams of human alcohol every day, most anti-Australian people have abnormal liver function, while only a few healthy people who drink more than 80 grams a day have mild liver function abnormalities. When drinking 60 ~ 80 grams a day, the liver function of Australian anti-positive people will be obviously damaged, while the liver function of Australian anti-negative healthy people will not change. Long-term drinkers have symptoms similar to hepatitis, such as liver pain, epigastric discomfort, fatigue, dyspepsia, anemia, spider nevus, liver palm, neuritis, testicular atrophy, etc. Alcoholic liver disease should be considered first. At present, there is no special treatment. We should give up drinking completely, rest properly, pay attention to diet and take liver-protecting drugs. (2) Patients with hypertension should avoid drinking too much. The researchers found that with the increase of alcohol consumption, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure increased gradually. The higher the blood pressure, the more complications of heart, spleen, kidney and other important organs, and the shorter their life span. The blood pressure of heavy drinkers is significantly higher than that of non-drinkers. If you stop drinking, your blood pressure will drop, and if you drink again, your blood pressure will rise. Drinking alcoholic beverages for a long time plays an important role in hypertension and complications. 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. Long-term drinkers are actually in an intermittent state of abstinence. After abstinence, the concentration of catecholamine such as adrenaline and norepinephrine in blood increases, which can raise blood pressure. After the same treatment is given to hypertensive patients who drink alcohol and those who don't drink alcohol, the diastolic blood pressure of drinkers is difficult to control, while the hypertension symptoms of non-drinkers are easy to control. Therefore, patients with hypertension should give up drinking and take metallurgical medicinal liquor in moderation. (3) Patients with coronary heart disease should avoid excessive drinking. Energetic drinking will reduce the consumption of fat as heat energy and increase the concentration of low-density lipoprotein and triglyceride in blood, but at the same time it will hinder the synthesis of high-density lipoprotein and increase the deposition of cholesterol on the blood vessel wall. The treatment of very low density lipoprotein in vivo mainly depends on the action of lipoprotein lipase, and a large amount of drinking will inhibit the activity of this enzyme. Thereby increasing the incidence of atherosclerosis. However, patients with coronary heart disease who often drink a small amount of alcohol every day have reduced the degree of coronary artery stenosis, increased the content of high-density lipoprotein in blood and alleviated the symptoms of coronary heart disease. Although a small amount of alcohol can reduce the risk of atherosclerosis, it should not be drunk. Because drinking 150 ~ 200ml liquor once, severe coronary artery spasm will cause angina pectoris. Long-term excessive drinking can also make the blood fat deposit on the blood vessel wall, make the lumen smaller, cause myocardial malnutrition, heart enlargement and myocardial hypertrophy, and then promote the increase of heart rate and the decline of myocardial contraction function. As a result, arrhythmia occurs, and progressive heart failure is more common in the late stage of alcoholic heart disease, so patients with coronary heart disease should drink less. (4) Stroke patients should avoid excessive drinking. Alcohol can directly lead to arrhythmia, which can cause arrhythmia or cardiomyopathy, especially atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation and cardiomyopathy caused by alcohol can reduce the blood output of the heart, cause mural thrombosis and cause cardiogenic cerebral embolism. Alcohol can also cause a strong vascular reaction, leading to changes in blood pressure. Vascular paralysis caused by alcoholism leads to diastolic and systolic dysfunction, which leads to a sharp change in blood pressure. If blood pressure drops too much and too fast, it is easy to cause insufficient blood supply to the heart and brain. In addition, it is easy to faint and cause craniocerebral trauma, leading to cerebral vascular rupture. Alcoholism can also excite sympathetic nerves, enhance metabolism, accelerate heartbeat and raise blood pressure, which is easy to cause blood vessel rupture. Acute alcoholism after alcoholism can also activate the coagulation mechanism in the body, promote platelet aggregation, increase blood viscosity, slow blood flow and easily induce thrombosis. If drinkers are accompanied by hypertension, arteriosclerosis, diabetes and smoking as risk factors, the incidence of stroke will increase and the onset will be earlier than that of non-drinkers. Therefore, abstinence from alcohol can reduce the risk of stroke. Stroke sequelae are suitable for drinking medicinal liquor, and can also promote the early recovery of the disease. (5) Avoid drinking a lot to promote blood circulation after fracture. Some people think that drinking a lot of white wine or medicinal liquor after fracture can promote blood circulation, which can promote blood circulation and is conducive to rehabilitation. In fact, this is a misunderstanding, because drinking too much after fracture will damage the metabolism of bone tissue and make it lose its ability to grow and repair damage. At the same time, alcohol will also affect the repair effect of drugs on bones. Therefore, you can't drink too much after the fracture, otherwise it will be very unfavorable for the healing of the fracture. However, drinking a small amount of medicinal liquor will help the fracture heal as soon as possible.
3. Couples of childbearing age should avoid excessive drinking. Moderate drinking makes people feel relaxed, lose anxiety, behave dissolutely and cause sexual excitement; Excessive drinking will destroy behavior and inhibit sexual function after anesthesia. Acute alcoholism can inhibit sexual function, while chronic alcoholism can also affect sexual desire, accompanied by endocrine disorders. In men, it is manifested as the decrease of testosterone level in blood, which leads to the decrease of sexual desire, abnormal sperm and impotence. This is because alcohol seriously damages leydig cells of testis 9, which prevents them from secreting androgen and producing sperm normally. If the sperm damaged by alcohol is combined with the egg, the developed fetus will be mentally retarded, stunted, stupid and prone to illness after birth. Drinking alcohol in pregnant women has a greater impact on the fetus. Even a small amount of alcohol can directly enter the fetus through the placental barrier, which affects the development of the fetus. Drinking alcohol during pregnancy can lead to fetal alcohol syndrome. More than 80% of children are deformed, and they often have irritability, tremor, auditory allergy and low sucking reaction. Fetal alcohol syndrome develops slowly before and after delivery, which can lead to abortion or stillbirth in severe cases. Investigation shows that drinking alcohol in early pregnancy is more harmful and easy to cause fetal alcohol syndrome. Even moderate drinking in the first week of pregnancy will inhibit the growth of the fetus and significantly reduce the weight of the newborn. Therefore, couples of childbearing age should not drink more alcohol, and only couples of childbearing age with infertility can consider taking symptomatic medicinal liquor for treatment.
4. Drinking is not addictive. Moderate drinking is a great pleasure in life, but alcoholism is a mental disorder caused by long-term or heavy drinking. A large amount of drinking at a time will lead to mental disorder and emotional out of control, which is clinically called acute alcoholism. Chronic alcoholism is a serious poisoning of the central nervous system caused by long-term drinking, which is characterized by gradual deterioration of personality and intelligence, selfishness, ignorance, indifference to people, mental instability, memory loss, sexual dysfunction, tremor and other signs. Scientific experiments have proved that when the alcohol concentration in human body reaches 0.03%-0.05%, it can show euphoria and increase exercise; When it reaches 0.06%-0. 1%, the excitement is aggravated, which is called mild drunkenness; When it reaches 0.2%, it is moderately drunk, showing difficulty in walking and slurring speech; When it reaches 0.3%-0.5%, it may cause ataxia, sensory disturbance, coma or death. Alcoholics are prone to secondary hepatic encephalopathy and nicotinic acid deficiency encephalopathy. The occurrence of alcoholism will not only seriously damage personal health, but also disturb people's mental activities. Excessive drinking can reduce lymphocytes in the body, directly inhibit the activity of natural killer cells, and weaken the function of reticuloendothelial system by interfering with the excitability and phagocytosis of macrophages. It makes the body appear immune disorder and greatly increases the incidence of infectious diseases.
5. Medicinal liquor must be suitable for the condition and taken in a targeted manner. It is not allowed to take several kinds of medicinal liquor with different curative effects at the same time or alternately, so as not to affect the curative effect or cause adverse reactions. Taking nourishing medicinal liquor should also be suitable for your physical condition, targeted and not drunk indiscriminately, otherwise it will be counterproductive and harmful to your health.
6. Medicinal liquor can be used alone, and can also be combined with traditional Chinese medicine decoction or other external treatment when necessary; Sometimes medicinal liquor is only used as adjuvant therapy, so don't be paranoid. In addition, after taking medicinal liquor, it is not advisable to take white wine; It is also not suitable for drinking with white wine. In short, when drinking medicinal liquor, we should remember the taboos and precautions of medicinal liquor, use it when applicable, and ban it if not applicable. At the same time, the dosage should be drunk according to the requirements or doctor's advice, and excessive drinking is prohibited.
