Let’s learn more about it together. Drinking alcohol in moderation can activate blood stasis, but also because of the pungent nature of wine, it can carry medicine upward, so clinically there are a lot of Chinese medicine in the concoction of the time with wine fried. For example, rhubarb, rhubarb is a flavor of heat diarrhea laxative medicine, its nature of bitter cold, for the treatment of hot nature of constipation, when the rhubarb wine fried can be loaded with medicines upward, to play the role of heat, and diarrhea effect is weakened or even disappeared. Moreover, wine can weaken the coldness of rhubarb, so that its cold nature and moderate, the adverse effects on the patient’s body can be minimized. Angelica sinensis has the function of nourishing blood and activating blood, and after being fried in wine, it can strengthen its function of activating blood and promoting qi, but it is more moderate than other blood-activating drugs, so it has the best effect on the patients. Wine itself is also a drug, “Typhoid Miscellaneous Diseases” has a formula called gua gua bao bai bai bai soup, the treatment of phlegm paralysis caused by chest pain effect is very good, his original text is like this: “thoracic paralysis of disease, wheezing, coughing and spitting, chest and back pain, shortness of breath, inches of the mouth of the pulse is sunken and late, off the number of small tightness, the main of the formula”. Among them, white wine plays a role in activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, the role of qi, with the right wine is a good medicine to save people.

Furthermore, drinking too much alcohol also contributes to the rise in blood pressure, as mentioned in the Chinese hypertension prevention and treatment guidelines: although blood pressure will drop after a small amount of alcohol consumption for a short period of time, long-term small amount of alcohol consumption can cause blood pressure to rise mildly; excessive alcohol consumption will cause blood pressure to rise significantly. If the average daily consumption of alcohol > 3 standard cups (1 standard cup is equivalent to 12 grams of alcohol, about 360 grams of beer, or 100 grams of wine, or 30 grams of liquor), systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure rose by 3.5mmHg and 2.1mmHg, and the increase in blood pressure increases with the increase in alcohol consumption. Therefore, occasional drinking is fine, but not often.
