TIPS

What kind of alcohol can be used to make medicinal wine?

For preparing medicinal wine, generally well-brewed baijiu (i.e., qujiu, white dry, sorghum wine, distilled spirits), huangjiu, or rice wine favored by southerners is used as the base wine. Among them, sorghum-brewed baijiu and glutinous rice-brewed huangjiu are the best. The higher the alcohol content, the better the extraction effect. Usually, 40-60 degree high-alcohol dissolves and extracts the effective components of the herbs more effectively in a shorter time, and the efficacy of the medicinal wine is also better. However, for women who do not drink well, using low-alcohol wine with 20-40 degrees is also acceptable.

How much should be consumed daily? When to drink?

Medicinal wine is not about quantity, but persistence. The general method of drinking medicinal wine is to consume 10-30 milliliters each time, 2-3 times a day (such as within one hour before meals, within 30 minutes after meals, or within 30 minutes before sleeping).

People with small alcohol tolerance can add appropriate rock sugar (or honey), or mix with warm water in a 1:10 ratio, stir evenly before drinking. People allergic to alcohol cannot drink medicinal wine.

Can medicinal wine be consumed during menstruation?

Women should avoid drinking medicinal wine during their menstrual period, especially those with blood-activating and qi-replenishing effects, as they may cause excessive menstruation. Additionally, stop taking it if you have a cold, fever, sore throat, or bronchitis. Also, people with hypertension, heart disease, liver disease, and severe gastric disease should use it cautiously.
