Can Eucommia and Prepared Rehmannia Root be soaked in alcohol?
Eucommia and ripe Rehmannia root can generally be steeped in wine, but it is important to follow appropriate intake guidance from a physician.
Eucommia and ripe Rehmannia root are both traditional Chinese medicinal herbs that respectively have functions of nourishing the liver and kidneys, strengthening tendons and bones, nourishing yin to replenish the kidneys, and enriching the blood. These two herbs are commonly used for making medicinal wine. Drinking this kind of medicinal wine can help nourish the liver and kidneys and improve overall health. For adults, moderate consumption may help improve physical condition, especially under the principle of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment, targeting symptoms such as liver and kidney deficiency and soreness and weakness of the waist and knees.
Although Eucommia and ripe Rehmannia root steeped in wine offer certain health benefits, not everyone is suitable for consumption. Particularly individuals with existing medical conditions or those currently taking other medications should consult a professional physician or pharmacist before consumption to ensure safety. Additionally, excessive drinking may also negatively affect health, so moderate consumption is advised.
During the preparation and consumption process, maintaining healthy lifestyle habits, such as regular作息 (作息 means作息 time or rest schedule, but it doesn't directly translate well here), balanced diet, can help better enhance the nourishing effects of the herbs.
