Cold soaking method is to soak medicinal materials directly with Chinese liquor. First, take a sealed and clean large-mouthed glass bottle or porcelain jar or jar, slice the medicinal materials, wash them, drain them, or grind them into coarse powder and put them into a container, and add Chinese liquor, the dosage of which is about 10 times of the weight of the medicinal materials. If you use food and medicinal materials to soak wine, you only need to add 5 times the weight of alcohol. Shake the wine evenly after adding the medicinal materials, seal the bottle mouth or jar mouth, and store it in a cool and dark place. When soaking, you should often shake the container or stir the medicinal materials so that the Chinese liquor can fully soak the medicinal materials. The soaking time should be at least 14 days, and some medicinal materials can be soaked for several months or 1 year. If the prescription drug has too much flavor and cannot be leached completely at one time, it can be leached twice or multiple times, but the amount of alcohol added each time should be calculated well, not too much, and the total amount of liquor remains unchanged. If the method of multiple soaking is used, a small amount of wine should be used for multiple soaking until the color of the soaked medicinal liquor becomes lighter, indicating that the drug components are extracted more thoroughly.
For soaking medicinal liquor, it is best to use high-quality white wine with 55-60 degrees, but not ethanol (alcohol). It is forbidden to use non-medical ethanol because it contains substances harmful to health. Inferior liquor can't be used either, the residual methanol is high, and the ingredients of brewing raw materials are complex, so it is difficult to ensure the quality of medicinal liquor.
There are many kinds of medicated wine brewed at home, such as ginseng wine, ginseng antler wine, ginseng radix wine, velvet antler wine, ginseng wine, safflower wine, Eucommia ulmoides wine, chinese wolfberry wine, hawthorn wine, mulberry wine, orange wave wine, papaya wine, Zaocys wine, etc. , according to a certain proportion of weighing brewing, dosage should be in accordance with the doctor's advice.
The method of self-made medicinal liquor is simple and easy, and it can be prepared according to the required amount, but not all Chinese medicines can soak wine. For example, traditional Chinese medicine containing water-soluble active ingredients is not suitable for liquor leaching. Another point is that Chinese medicines with severe or toxic effects, such as Radix Aconiti, Radix Aconiti Kusnezoffii, Radix Aconiti Lateralis, poisonous insects, etc. , can not be prepared into medicinal liquor at will. These drugs have strict and standardized brewing requirements and must be operated by professional Chinese pharmacists.

If there are many people who are good at drinking, they often use people's daily food to prepare medicinal liquor. It not only has medical function, but also has nourishing and health care function.
