What are the best homemade medicinal wines for hot summer days at home?

A friend asked me how to better drink medicinal wine in summer. Today we’re going to do a little bit of research. There is a folk saying that “winter illnesses are treated in summer”, because in summer the body’s Yang energy is most vigorous, the Qi and blood are full, various functions are open and the meridians are smooth, and it is the time to support and nourish Yang energy. Winter illnesses are treated in summer, which is an important concept of health care in summer. Chronic diseases that tend to occur in winter, such as chronic bronchial asthma, various types of joint pain, numbness of limbs and rheumatism, can be better cured and alleviated by taking advantage of the stable condition in summer to make adjustments. By drinking herbal liquor, people with disorders of yin and yang can gradually regain balance and reduce or alleviate the onset of illnesses during the cold season. Mistakes that are easily made when making herbal liquor Do not pay attention to the ratio of medicine to wine. In fact, the ratio of medicine to wine is very important. Too much medicine is not conducive to the effective precipitation of drug components, and too much wine will have a low concentration of medicinal wine, and its effectiveness will be reduced. It is generally believed that the high water absorption of herbs, per 100 grams of herbs available 800 to 1000 ml of wine; low water absorption, per 100 grams of herbs with 500 to 700 ml of wine. At the same time, the herbs can be properly crushed, so that the contact surface between the herbs and the wine can be expanded, so that the active ingredients of the drug can easily seep out, but it should not be too fine. There are some people who make their own medicinal wine and like to refill it while drinking, but in reality, this is also unscientific. Drinking while refilling will lead to a gradual decrease in the concentration of the medicinal wine, which will affect the effectiveness of the medicine. Therefore, in general, when 10% of the medicinal wine is left, it can be refilled with new wine, and after that, it will continue to soak for another 20 days before you can drink it. Moreover, the medicinal wine can only be mixed twice, and then renew the wine drug concentration is not enough to play a corresponding role. 1, teach you to use cactus infusion medicinal wine with cactus to make medicinal wine, sweet taste, drink about 50 grams a day before meals or bedtime, very beneficial to health.
