”Winter tonic, spring fight tiger”. The old saying left by the ancestors has become the biggest reason for people to take tonic in winter nowadays. The tonic is usually chosen around the beginning of winter to the beginning of spring of the following year, and the herbs are dipped in wine into medicinal wine, which not only pass blood vessels, but also dispel all the pains and dispel rheumatism. Chronic diseases such as neck and back pain and osteoporosis can be significantly relieved through proper winter tonic. How should I make and serve the herbal wine? After the herbs are broken or cut short and selected, they are moistened with cold boiling water to wash away the dirt and prevent the herbs from absorbing too much wine; then the moistened herbs are placed in a glass bottle or jar and blended into white wine. General herbs and white wine ratio of 1:7-1:10, at least the herbs should be submerged; Finally, the mouth sealed tightly, shaking several times a day, so that the active ingredients of the herbs fully precipitated, half a month after soaking can be drunk. Some valuable herbs can be steeped several times. Soaking herbs in wine can leach out many effective ingredients that cannot be leached out by water, so the tonic and therapeutic effects of medicinal wine are better than those of Chinese decoction. The dose of herbal wine is small, 30-50 ml each time. For those who are not good drinkers, the herbal wine can be mixed with wine, yellow wine or cold water at a ratio of 1:1-1:10. Although the herbal wine contains alcohol, the concentration is not high and generally does not produce side effects. Drinking a small amount also increases the secretion of saliva and gastric juice, which helps digestion and absorption of the stomach and intestines. People with liver and kidney diseases, high blood pressure, allergic diseases and skin diseases should not drink it. Even if you need to drink it, you should add ten times the amount of water and boil it in a pot to remove the smell of alcohol before drinking. The choice of medicinal wine should vary from person to person and from disease to disease. Take the tonic medicinal wine, we have to take into account the drinker’s physique. The person who has a thin body is prone to fire and injury, so it is appropriate to use the medicine wine that nourishes the yin and blood; the person who has an obese body is prone to phlegm and fear of cold, so it is appropriate to use the medicine wine that nourishes the heart and calms the mind. It is best to use medicinal wine that is mainly for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Medicinal wine can cure diseases and strengthen the body, but not every kind of medicinal wine can cure all diseases. The drinker must choose carefully, recognize his or her illness and physical condition, and have a clear purpose for choosing it, not to use it for people and drink it when he or she sees it.
