Many people think that medicinal liquor is health wine, but it is not. According to experts, medicinal liquor is mainly used to treat diseases. Must obtain the "national medicine quasi-brand name", have the basic characteristics of drugs, have clear indications, contraindications, limits and deadlines, and must be drunk under the supervision of doctors. According to national regulations, medicinal liquor must be sold in regular hospital pharmacies or pharmacies. However, "health wine" is based on health and fitness, and has no therapeutic effect. The product cannot clearly publicize its curative effect, and the batch number of health food must be obtained.

Many people think that if you add medicinal materials to wine, you can drink a few more cups in the name of "health preservation"; Or think that health wine is called "wine", it is not a medicine, and there is no adverse reaction of medicine.

In fact, health wine is basically made of white wine and medicinal materials. Although it belongs to health food, it is still alcohol first, and the harm of alcohol to human body will not be weakened by adding traditional Chinese medicine. With the addition of Chinese herbal medicines, health wine and medicinal liquor have the same medicinal properties as other Chinese patent medicines, but also have different tastes and functions, and improper medication will also cause harm.

Zhi Li, deputy chief physician of internal medicine of Wangjing Hospital of Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that it is best to control the quantity of health wine, not to drink too much. Drinking too much wine will hurt the liver, and Chinese herbal medicines added to health wine are easy to get angry. Therefore, don't drink health wine every day, and don't drink it after a few days.

Health wine is not suitable for everyone. According to their functions, health wine can be divided into the types of invigorating qi, enriching blood, nourishing yin, strengthening yang, tonifying both qi and blood, etc. In addition to the efficacy of alcohol, drinking health wine should also be chosen according to personal physique.

It is also wrong for some health wines to be advertised as suitable for all kinds of people. Health wine is not suitable for everyone. People's constitution can be divided into cold and heat. Drinking health wine at will without knowing their physical condition may cause adverse reactions or toxic side effects. Generally speaking, young people and children are not suitable for drinking, and middle-aged and elderly people are more suitable. In addition, people who are prone to getting angry, often flushed, grumpy and have aphtha should not drink health wine, nor should they drink it during a cold or getting angry.
