Sanqi is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb that was initially used primarily in ethnic minority areas such as Yunnan and Guangxi. With increased communication between ethnic groups, it has spread to other regions. One of the most common ways to consume Sanqi is by soaking it in alcohol. So, what are the effects and benefits of drinking Sanqi-infused alcohol?
Blood Circulation and Stasis Relief
Drinking Sanqi-infused alcohol has the functions of reducing swelling and pain, promoting blood circulation, dispersing blood stasis, and relieving pain. It can be taken orally or used externally. It has a certain therapeutic effect on conditions such as blood stasis pain, lower back pain, limb weakness, fatigue-induced pain, trauma-related pain, and unexplained swelling and pain.
Prevention and Treatment of Cardiovascular Diseases
Sanqi is known as the "cleaner of blood vessels" as it can remove deposits in the blood, reduce blood viscosity, and promote blood health. It effectively prevents various cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, moderate consumption of Sanqi-infused alcohol can also strengthen the body for patients with cardiovascular diseases.
Sedation and Calming the Mind
Sanqi-infused alcohol can also be used to regulate conditions such as physical fatigue, dizziness, and decreased sleep quality. The Sanqi ginsenoside Rb1 contained in the alcohol has a significant inhibitory effect on the central nervous system.
Qi and Blood Tonic
Drinking Sanqi-infused alcohol also has a very good effect of tonifying qi and blood. Clinical trials have shown that besides its hemostatic and blood circulation functions, Sanqi also has a blood-tonifying effect, which can increase the number of red blood cells and white blood cells in the peripheral blood. Drinking Sanqi-infused alcohol regularly for healthy individuals can strengthen the body, promote physical fitness, and extend lifespan.
