When you get rheumatism, your relatives and friends, neighbors and neighbors are concerned and say that it is good to drink some wine, and some suggest that it is better to make medicinal wine. Can you drink it? What wine to drink? First understand the wine. “Hanshu food and goods” records: “wine, the beauty of the sky, the emperor so nourish the world, enjoy the sacrifice to pray for blessings, to support the decline of disease.” This shows that wine is indeed a good thing. Are there any shortcomings? Li Shizhen’s statement is more objective, the “Compendium of Materia Medica” cloud: “wine, the sky’s beauty Lu also, the face of the wine, a little drink is and blood and line gas, strong God, cold, sadness and fun; painful to drink is hurt the blood, loss of stomach and dead essence, phlegm and fire.” That is to say, the wine thing, the good use of the body is beneficial; improper use, harmful to the body. So think twice before you drink. Wine is warm, pungent, sweet and bitter, and toxic. It can open the blood vessels and move the medicine potential. Because of its warm nature, it is not suitable for those who have the following manifestations: red eyes, irritability, bitter mouth, dry mouth, yellow urine and stool (so-called Yang-heat constitution); thin body, night sweating and dreaming, dry mouth without bitterness, thin tongue (so-called Yin deficiency constitution); obese body, snoring like thunder, sticky mouth, bitter mouth, yellow tongue coating (so-called phlegm-heat constitution). As well as those with frequent pain in the stomach or allergies should not drink alcohol. From the perspective of rheumatism, anyone with red, swollen, hot and painful joints, localized burning, erythematous skin and fever should not drink alcohol. Who can drink alcohol? Wine through the blood and warmth, so the usual fear of cold, the limbs are not warm drink beneficial. For those who are allowed to drink, pay attention to the method. Li Shizhen said, “If you don’t drink properly, you will kill someone in a moment. Regardless of whether it is medicinal wine or simple wine, you should control the amount you drink according to your own situation to avoid adverse reactions. What is the best wine to drink? Liquor is divided into distilled liquor and non-distilled liquor according to the method of production. Distilled spirits mainly refer to white spirits, while non-distilled spirits refer to beer, yellow wine, and wine. Distilled spirits contain mainly ethanol, with no or very little sugar; non-distilled spirits have low ethanol content and high sugar content. Non-distilled spirits are easy to produce moisture because they contain more sugar. For patients with rheumatism, if they need to drink, moderate amounts of white wine are the best choice. The selection of prescriptions for making medicinal wine is delicate and should be done under the guidance of an herbalist with reference to the physique and condition. Different people with the same disease, due to differences in physique and condition, the medication is also different. If you just copy the prescriptions and do not analyze the specific problems, it may be contrary to your wishes and counterproductive.
