This article will tell you how to make pharmaceutical wine correctly.

1. Preparation before soaking in wine

Medicinal liquor is easy to take and has remarkable curative effect. It can also be made at home, but the correct method should be mastered. Before making medicinal liquor, several preparations must be made:

(1) keep the workshop clean, in strict accordance with the hygiene requirements. To achieve "three noes", that is, no dust, no deposition and no pollution, the preparation personnel should also be kept clean, and no other people are allowed to enter the site.

(2) All medicinal liquor has different formulas and production process requirements, and not every formula is suitable for home preparation. If you are not clear about the medicinal properties and dosage, and do not know the common sense of medicinal liquor preparation, do not blindly prepare drinking medicinal liquor. Therefore, we should choose a safe and reliable medicinal liquor formula according to our own production conditions.

③ When choosing to prepare medicinal liquor, it is necessary to distinguish the authenticity and avoid using fake liquor to avoid adverse consequences. When choosing traditional Chinese medicine according to the formula, you must choose authentic Chinese medicinal materials, and avoid using fake and shoddy medicinal materials. For traditional Chinese medicines from folk prescriptions, we must first find out their names and specifications, so as to prevent medication errors caused by foreign bodies with the same name.

(4) prepare wine for the matrix. At present, besides liquor, there are many kinds of liquors used to prepare medicinal liquor, such as medical alcohol (industrial alcohol is forbidden), yellow wine, wine, rice wine and shochu, etc. The specific choice of liquor depends on the prescription needs and diseases.

⑤ Before making, the Chinese herbal medicines in the formula are generally sliced or mashed into granules. Any hard plant medicinal materials such as skins, roots and stems can be cut into 3 mm thick slices, herbaceous stems and roots can be cut into 3 cm long pieces, and seed medicinal materials can be crushed with sticks. At the same time, the processed medicinal materials should be washed and frozen before use.

⑥ When handling animal medicinal materials, it is advisable to remove the internal organs and dirt (the head of poisonous snakes should be removed), wash them with clear water, and bake them in a stove or oven to make them emit a slight fragrance. Baking can not only remove water, but also achieve the effect of sterilization, and maintain the alcohol concentration of soaked wine. It can also make the effective components more soluble in wine and have a mellow feeling when drinking.

⑦ Medicinal liquor making tools According to the traditional habits of traditional Chinese medicine, except for some special medicinal liquor, non-metallic containers such as casserole are generally used for decocting Chinese medicine.

⑧ Be familiar with and master the common sense of preparing medicinal liquor and the production technology.
