The Power of Medicinal Wine: A Blend of Health and Wellness

Medicinal wine, the combination of medicine and wine, is the best health product. Below, let me introduce the value and efficacy of medicinal wine.

Medicinal wine refers to a clear and transparent liquid preparation made by steeping medicinal materials in distilled wine. Medicinal wine has a history of thousands of years in China and is a precious heritage of Chinese medicine. It can both prevent and treat diseases and nourish the body. Since many wild fruits themselves have medicinal value, the original wine can be called natural "health wine", which has a certain protective and promoting effect on human health.

There are various types of wine, with similar properties, tastes, and effects. Generally speaking, wine is warm in nature and has a spicy taste. Warm wine can dispel coldness, while spicy wine can disperse and promote circulation. Therefore, wine can promote meridian circulation, activate blood circulation, warm the yang and dispel coldness, soothe the liver and relieve depression, and promote emotional well-being. Moreover, wine, as the essence of grain fermentation, can also nourish the stomach and intestines. In addition, wine can kill pests and drive away evil spirits.

The combination of wine and medicine is a great advancement in the field of health preservation through drinking. The combination of wine and medicine has created a brand new type of wine - health wine. The main characteristic of health wine is the addition of medicinal materials during the brewing process, mainly focusing on health preservation and strengthening the body. The choice of medicinal materials is based on their functions, including qi replenishing, blood nourishing, nourishing yin, nourishing yang, and dual replenishment of qi and blood.

With the improvement of living standards, people have higher requirements for health and there are more ways to pursue health. Health wine is gradually entering people's lives. In fact, health wine has appeared since ancient times, but at that time, it was more recognized as medicinal wine. In addition to "wine" and "li" in the Yin and Shang dynasties, there was also "chang". "Chang" was made from black sorghum as the raw material for brewing, and tulip herb (a traditional Chinese medicine) was added. This is the earliest recorded medicinal wine.

In recent years, scientific research methods have been used to conduct experimental studies and clinical observations on certain medicinal wines, confirming their unique efficacy. Qinghai Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine conducted experimental research on blood rheology and microcirculation in healthy adults using Cordyceps wine. Cordyceps wine is mainly made from Cordyceps sinensis, supplemented with Cistanche, ginseng, wolfberry, and Polygonum multiflorum, using distilled barley wine as the base. It has the effects of nourishing qi and essence, nourishing yin and strengthening yang, regulating blood vessels, invigorating the spirit, and prolonging life. The experiment showed that Cordyceps wine can significantly improve microcirculation, significantly shorten half-life time and average retention time. Drinking Cordyceps wine can improve blood rheology, which means it has a significant effect on accelerating blood flow, thereby improving blood circulation, enhancing tissue perfusion, facilitating the delivery of more oxygen and nutrients to the tissues, and facilitating the removal and transport of harmful substances in the tissues. Internal and external harmony, smooth flow of qi and blood are important conditions for prolonging life. Cardiovascular diseases that seriously threaten the heart, brain, and kidney in middle-aged and elderly people often originate from "stagnant blood". Cordyceps wine has the effect of promoting blood flow and dispelling stagnation, providing a theoretical basis for health preservation in middle-aged and elderly people.

Wine is a liquid made from grains and fermentation. It is vigorous and clear in nature, and has the effects of treating diseases and strengthening the body. Traditional Chinese medicine is generally natural, with fewer toxic side effects. Medicinal wine made from the combination of wine and medicine is between food and medicine, and it can treat diseases when there is illness and prevent diseases and strengthen the body when there is no illness. With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the application of traditional Chinese medicine medicinal wine will become more extensive.

Friendly reminder from the editor:

Since medicinal wine is made by soaking in alcohol, it is not suitable for everyone to drink. People with serious illnesses, fever, or in a state of hyperactivity should avoid it, including those with bleeding disorders, inflammation, respiratory organ diseases, bronchitis, hepatitis, ulcers, tuberculosis, oral inflammation, high blood pressure, and various cancers, etc.
