Can I drink medicinal wine during my period?

As we have a deeper understanding of health preservation, more and more health preservation methods are now recognized by people. We can use foot massage to maintain health, or we can use medicated food to achieve the effect of nourishing health. We can use Chinese medicine massage, acupuncture and other methods to achieve the benefits of health preservation. In addition, many friends also like to make their own medicinal wine for themselves to drink, which can have a good health care effect.

So can female friends drink some medicinal wine during menstruation? We know that medicinal wine can be mixed by ourselves, so are there any medicinal wines that can be provided to female friends during menstruation? Let's take a look at the following.

Medicinal wine refers to a clear liquid preparation made by extracting medicinal materials with distilled liquor. What we usually call medicinal wine is a general term for medicinal wine with a drug approval number (hereinafter referred to as "medicinal wine") and nutritional health wine (hereinafter referred to as "health wine").

Medicinal wine and health wine have a history of thousands of years in my country, which is the essence of our country's traditional wine culture. There are similarities and differences between medicinal wine and health-care wine, but in ancient China, there was no distinction between them. Due to the limitations of the times, they were simply generally referred to as "medicinal wine." The scientific definition of medicinal wine and health-care wine was not established until after the 1970s, which was a major historical progress.

The production and consumption of medicinal liquor and health wine in my country has now become an independent category. Compared with traditional products, their most notable feature is that they are combined with ancient Chinese medicine and Chinese herbal medicine, integrating drinking, health care, treatment and body strengthening, and are regarded as "China's national quintessence", such as the famous sea dog wine, Miaoqin medicinal wine and so on.

Compared with health wine, the similarities between medicinal wine and health wine are that there is medicine in the wine and wine in the medicine, both of which can play a role in strengthening the body, but there are obvious differences between the two, as follows:

◆ By definition, health wine is first and foremost a food and beverage wine, with the basic characteristics of food; while medicinal wine is mainly medicine, with the basic characteristics of medicine.

◆In terms of characteristics, health wine is mainly used for nourishing, strengthening, supplementing, regulating and improving. It is also used for people with weakened physiological functions, physiological disorders, special physiological needs or nutritional needs to supplement people's nutrients and functional ingredients. Its effect is subtle; while medicinal wine is used for the purpose of curing diseases and saving lives. It is used for the patient's rehabilitation and treatment of their pathological conditions.

◆ In terms of the target audience, health wine is suitable for healthy people, healthy people with special needs, and people in an intermediate state (between health and disease) (the population here refers to adults); while medicinal wine is limited to people with diseases. It is a prescription prescribed by a doctor. It has clear indications, contraindications, limits, and time limits, and must be consumed under the supervision of a doctor.

◆ In terms of flavor, health wine pays attention to color, aroma, and taste, and focuses on the coordination of medicinal aroma and wine aroma; while medicinal wine does not need to achieve the coordination of medicinal aroma and wine aroma. As the saying goes, "Good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease."

◆ In terms of raw material composition, the raw materials in health wine are preferably traditional food and dual-purpose medicinal materials, and Chinese medicinal materials and decoction pieces must be processed as food. Those with strong functions or toxicity cannot be used; while the raw materials in medicinal wine are preferably safe and effective Chinese medicine, mainly tonic medicine, and can be appropriately combined with other Chinese medicines (clearing, warming, eliminating, supplementing, descending, and harmonizing Chinese medicines), with medicine as the main focus.

In the above article, we introduced that there are many ways to maintain health. We must choose the health-preserving method that suits us. The medicinal wine mentioned above has many functions and effects. We can use different Chinese medicines to make different medicinal wines, but medicinal wine contains alcohol after all. Female friends during menstruation are best not to drink it.
