Three misunderstandings about drinking medicinal wine for health care in winter
Myth 1: Drinking medicinal wine can help you fall asleep
The so-called medicinal wine is made by mixing medicinal materials in wine. Therefore, medicinal wine contains the dual effects of wine and medicine, and is mainly used for medicinal purposes.
Many people believe that drinking alcohol before bed helps sleep, but this habit is not correct. Drinking alcohol does promote sleep, but the sleep state after drinking is not the same as normal physiological sleep. Because the brain does not really rest because of drinking alcohol and falling asleep, so it does not really reach the state of rest, especially after drinking the medicinal wine. After waking up, there are sometimes uncomfortable symptoms such as heavy head and headache. Experts especially remind that the medicinal wine is best drunk after meals, which will play a better role in the effect of medicine.
Misunderstanding 2: The more you drink, the better
Some people believe too much in the health care effect of medicinal wine, thinking that medicinal wine has a health nourishing effect, and drinking more is good for health. In fact, this concept is very wrong.
Medicinal wine contains medicinal materials, and the consequences of drinking a large amount of medicinal wine are equivalent to overdosing on drugs, which can also affect one's health.
The best dosage of medicinal wine is about a tablespoon, about 100 ml. It is best not to drink too much. At the same time, you should not continue to drink medicinal wine for a long time. Usually a course of treatment is 3 months. After drinking a course of treatment, you can suspend it for a period of time. After that, you can decide whether to continue drinking according to the situation.
Myth 3: Drinking medicinal wine does not distinguish between physical fitness
Nourishing health medicinal wine is generally used for qi and blood deficit, liver and kidney yin deficiency, weak temper, and neurasthenia. But some people blindly drink medicinal wine without understanding their own physique, no matter what kind of medicinal wine they drink, this is also wrong.
The choice of medicinal wine should be decided according to one's own physique. It is best to communicate with the doctor in advance to understand one's own physique. Only by drinking medicinal wine "symptomatically" can it achieve the effect of adjusting yin, yang, qi and blood.
"Medicine is three points poisonous", and medicinal wine is no exception. Hypertensive patients and patients with various cancers should not drink medicinal wine. This is because hypertensive patients who drink it will be at risk of stroke; cancer patients who drink medicinal wine will promote the spread of cancer cells and aggravate the condition.
