What are the benefits of drinking Jing Jiu?

Generally speaking, the benefits of drinking Jing Jiu (a kind of Chinese herbal liquor) include relieving fatigue, promoting blood circulation, enhancing resistance, improving sleep quality, and aiding digestion. Details are as follows:

1. Relieving fatigue: Jing Jiu contains ingredients such as Lycium barbarum and Astragalus membranaceus. These natural ingredients help accelerate energy metabolism, reduce lactic acid buildup after exercise, and enable quicker recovery from fatigue. Drinking Jing Jiu in moderation can refresh the mind and improve mental condition.

2. Promoting blood circulation: Ingredients like Angelica sinensis and Ligusticum chuanxiong in the liquor have blood-activating effects similar to ginger's cold-resisting properties. They mildly dilate blood vessels, promote blood circulation, and improve cold hands and feet, making it especially suitable for consumption during autumn and winter seasons.

3. Enhancing resistance: Natural nourishing components contained in Lycium barbarum and Chinese yam can stimulate the activity of immune cells, helping the body cope with environmental changes, thus enhancing resistance.

4. Improving sleep quality: Certain Chinese herbal ingredients have a calming effect. Combined with the relaxing effect of low alcohol content, they help relieve tension and enable quicker transition into sleep. However, excessive drinking before bedtime should be avoided.

5. Aiding digestion: Ingredients such as aged tangerine peel and hawthorn in the liquor can stimulate gastric juice secretion, assisting the gastrointestinal tract in better breaking down food and relieving feelings of fullness, thereby promoting digestion.

Jing Jiu has certain health benefits, but it cannot replace the therapeutic effects of medications. Moreover, due to its high alcohol content, excessive drinking should be avoided to prevent additional burden on the liver and the potential development of liver diseases. When consuming Jing Jiu, special attention should be given to avoid consumption by specific groups such as children, pregnant women, and individuals with impaired liver function, to prevent harm caused by alcohol intake or worsening of existing conditions.
