Middle-aged and elderly people are suitable for drinking medicinal liquor, which has the effects of promoting blood circulation and relieving pain, dispelling cold and helping yang. All wines have a certain health-preserving function, which can be divided into medicinal liquor and tonic wine. In our daily life, medicated wine is often said in a narrow sense, especially the wine which is based on fermented wine, distilled wine or edible alcohol, and is made by adding Chinese herbal medicines in the wine-making process or directly in the wine, and has certain nourishing and medical functions. Various medicinal wines have different curative effects: chinese wolfberry wine can lower blood pressure, tonify kidney and strengthen yang; Ginseng wine can dispel cold, relax tendons and activate collaterals, promote blood circulation and increase immunity; Deer velvet wine can nourish yin and enrich blood; Ganoderma lucidum wine can prolong life; Polygonum multiflorum wine can nourish hair. In some areas of southern China, snakes, scorpions, ants and other animal medicines are often added to wine to promote blood circulation, dispel wind and remove dampness. Huangdi Neijing records that "he is over forty years old, and Yin Qi is half." Because most medicinal liquor has the function of nourishing yin and strengthening yang, it is more suitable for middle-aged and elderly people to drink medicinal liquor. Those who drink medicinal liquor for a long time should consult a doctor first. Although medicinal liquor has a certain health care function, it is still wine, which belongs to hot and dry products and should not be drunk excessively. Patients with peptic ulcer, gout, hypertension and alcohol allergy should not drink it, and it is best to avoid medicinal liquor. It is advisable to control the drinking amount of medicinal liquor not to exceed 100 ml a day. Because medicinal liquor is irritating, it is best not to drink it on an empty stomach, but to drink it with food. If you drink medicinal liquor for a long time, you'd better ask a doctor to diagnose your condition first and choose the appropriate medicinal liquor according to your own situation. Medicinal liquor prepared with precious Chinese herbal medicines may not be able to strengthen the body, so we should pay attention to its indications and contraindications when drinking medicinal liquor.

It takes at least a week to prepare medicinal liquor.

The soaking time and specific processing technology of medicinal materials directly affect the health care effect of medicinal liquor. Generally speaking, it is best to choose yellow wine or low-alcohol liquor as the base wine to prepare nourishing medicinal liquor. Wrap the selected medicinal materials in gauze or put them into a ceramic jar with a cover, add wine according to the proportion required by the prescription, and seal and soak them. Shake or stir 1 time every day in the first week of soaking medicinal liquor, and shake or stir 1 time every week thereafter. The soaking time should be about 1 month, and the shortest time should not be less than 1 week, otherwise the medicinal materials can not be fully dissolved in the wine, and the effect of medicinal liquor is not obvious.
