【Contraindications for Soaking Medicinal Wine】

1. Choice of alcohol: Generally, it is best to use alcohol with a strength of 50 degrees or higher, because alcohol with a strength of 50 degrees or higher can kill the bacteria, harmful microorganisms, parasites, and eggs attached to the medicinal herbs to a large extent during the soaking process, making it safe to consume.

2. Selection and processing of soaked medicinal herbs: Animal medicines should have their viscera and impurities removed, washed with clean water (poisonous snakes should have their heads removed), and then roasted with a stove or oven to emit a slight fragrance. Roasting not only removes moisture, but also sterilizes, and maintains the alcohol concentration of the soaked wine.

It also makes the active ingredients more easily soluble in the wine, giving it a rich and mellow taste.

3. Soaking time for medicinal wine: Some ancient prescriptions or folk sayings believe that medicinal wine should be soaked for several months to more than a year. I believe this is unnecessary. Generally, soaking for 1 month is sufficient. Sometimes, in order to allow the active ingredients to be released more quickly, if aesthetics is not a concern, the medicinal herbs can be chopped and soaked.
