What diseases can be treated by drinking rock yellow knotweed steeped in alcohol?

Soaking Yanhuanglian in alcohol cannot cure diseases. Yanhuanglian is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb known for its effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, relieving pain and stopping bleeding, and promoting diuresis. It is commonly used as an adjunct treatment for conditions such as hepatitis, oral or tongue ulcers, corneal opacity, and diarrhea. Currently, there is no scientific evidence confirming that soaking Yanhuanglian in alcohol can effectively treat any specific disease. When using Yanhuanglian, it should be done under the guidance of a physician to avoid adverse reactions caused by self-administration or misuse.

Consuming Yanhuanglian soaked in alcohol is not recommended as a method for treating diseases. The active components and safety of Yanhuanglian prepared this way have not undergone rigorous scientific validation, making it impossible to determine its efficacy or safety in treating illnesses. Moreover, alcohol itself may negatively affect health—for example, damaging gastric mucosa or increasing liver burden—and could interact with the herbal properties of Yanhuanglian, potentially harming overall health.

Self-treating illnesses with Yanhuanglian-soaked alcohol may lead to adverse reactions such as allergies, gastric mucosal injury, or damage to liver and kidney function. Additionally, because Yanhuanglian is cold in nature and has certain toxic side effects, it is contraindicated for pregnant women, individuals with allergies, and other sensitive populations to prevent adverse effects such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, and vomiting after use.
