Introduction
Medicated liquor, such as medicinal wine, is a type of preparation primarily intended for disease prevention and treatment, with strict and detailed requirements in its formulation, specifically designed for treating illnesses. Tonic medicinal wines also have certain preventive and therapeutic effects on some diseases, but their main function is to nourish the body, promote health and vitality, and enhance resistance against pathogenic factors. However, they also have specific indications, being specially formulated for conditions involving deficiency of vital energy and imbalance of yin and yang.

Medicated wines possess different properties depending on the herbs used. So, what are the benefits of medicated wine?

Benefits of Medicated Wine

Medicated wine is made by combining alcohol with medicinal herbs. However, since the selection of herbs is targeted, deliberate, and added according to specific therapeutic needs, the effects of medicated wine vary depending on the particular herbs used. For example, some medicated wines are specifically formulated for disease prevention and treatment, with prescriptions carefully designed for specific illnesses. Tonic medicated wines may also help prevent or manage certain conditions, but their primary function is to nourish and strengthen the body, enhance vitality, promote overall health, and increase resistance against illness. Some formulations are specifically intended for those with deficiency syndromes or imbalances in yin and yang. Therefore, different medicated wines have distinct actions and specific indications, making their uses complex and varied.

The applications of medicated wine are extensive. They include formulas that tonify deficiencies in yin, yang, qi, and blood, as well as those that eliminate pathogenic factors and treat diseases, each with differing effects. Health-preserving, beauty-enhancing tonic wines primarily aim to nourish qi and blood, warm the kidneys and strengthen yang, invigorate the stomach and generate essence, strengthen the heart and calm the mind, delay aging, and prolong life. Therapeutic medicated wines mainly focus on dispelling wind and cold, relieving cough, clearing heat and detoxifying, nourishing and activating blood, and unblocking meridians and collaterals. Their effects vary according to the condition being treated.

Medicated wine offers both therapeutic and tonic benefits—achieving two goals with one remedy—and tastes great too. Wishing you good health and happiness!
