Mr. Liu was a very fond of drinking when he was young, and after he was over fifty years old, he realized the harm of drinking alcohol to the body because he loved health more and more, but he heard that medicinal liquor was good for the body, so he began to collect various Chinese herbal medicines and brew medicinal liquor with various wines collected when he was young. When his son got married, Mr. Liu deliberately took out his own carefully brewed "Caowu Medicinal Wine", invited relatives and friends to taste it together, you came and went with everyone to drink a painful pleasure, and directly drank a whole bottle of "Caowu Medicinal Wine" brewed by Mr. Liu.
However, it was not long before 15 people, including Mr. Liu, developed symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, chest tightness, dizziness, abdominal discomfort, etc., and in severe cases, they even had convulsions and coma, and were immediately sent to the hospital for treatment. When the doctor examined, he found that all of these patients had kidney failure, and it was understood that the culprit was that the grass wu used by Mr. Liu to brew medicinal wine was unconcoiled raw grass wu!
And such an "invisible" injury is actually the curse of medicine and wine! However, Mr. Liu and his family and friends are very confused, why is the medicinal liquor that is regarded as a "health care product" turn into a poisonous liquor because of a taste of traditional Chinese medicine?
Why does medicinal liquor become poisonous liquor?
Wine, mostly made of sorghum, barley, corn, grapes, etc., has the effect of passing the blood vein, practicing medicine and other effects, so it is also known as "the strength of medicine", so when the mild Chinese medicine that is beneficial to the body and nourishes the body interacts with wine, it can be made to produce medicinal liquor with better medicinal effects and less side effects.
Alcohol is a good semi-polar organic solvent, the various active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine are easily soluble in it, medicine borrowing wine power, wine to help the two can play a role in each other, improve the efficacy. Because of the convenient preparation of medicinal liquor and stable medicinal properties, this drink with "health" effect is quite popular with middle-aged and elderly men who love liquor. Most of the liquors used to brew Chinese medicine are brewed liquor above 50 degrees, and some are soaked using rice wine.
There are many drugs in mainland traditional Chinese medicine that nourish the body and are good for the body, which have the effect of strengthening the body, anti-aging, prolonging life, so the effect of medicinal wine to dispel wind and cold, nourish blood and blood, and relax the meridians is more than simple wine, its taste is bitter, sweet, spicy, hot, and at the same time has the advantages of fast absorption, fast effect, easy storage, not easy to infect bacteria, deterioration and so on.
However, it is worth noting that the medicinal materials of brewing pharmaceutical liquor can not be used casually, many traditional Chinese medicines have both medicinal properties and toxicity, and the mainland's "Measures for the Administration of Medical Toxic Drugs" clearly stipulates that the use of toxic drugs must be prepared by designated units and sold and used in accordance with regulations. And Mr. Liu's self-brewed raw grass Wu is impressively among the toxic Chinese medicines.
Grass wu, is the root of the buttercup herb Aconitum, often harvested in the late autumn of that year or early spring of the following year, the grass wu used in the mainland market is mostly wild. Grass wu dispels wind and dehumidification, warm through the cold, reduce swelling and relieve pain, but must be concocted to achieve the desired effect, raw grass wu in the toxicity is very large, very easy to cause poisoning. And even after the concoction of grass, the toxicity is still difficult to eliminate, or should pay attention to the amount of drinking.
Mr. Liu not only used raw grass black bubble wine, but also drank excessively with relatives and friends, which brought about the problem of medicinal liquor poisoning. Although medicinal liquor is wine, it is also a medicine, as the saying goes, it is three points of poison, in the absence of a clear understanding of it, we must avoid using, and can not only rely on various rumors on the Internet to make a variety of "health" drugs, the lack of information is easy to bring about physical harm. Therefore, in the face of medicinal liquor, some attention can never be less.
In the face of medicinal liquor these attention can not be less!
The first thing that must be noted is that the materials for brewing pharmaceutical liquor must not be used at will. Many people watch TV dramas to use what snakes, scorpions and other bubble liquor, in life encounter these things will also bubble up the method of brewing pharmaceutical liquor, but this does not necessarily bring health care, tonic effects, but also may be carried by its toxins, bacteria, at the same time the danger in the process is also unpredictable.
In addition, like raw herb, many medicinal herbs have good therapeutic effects, but the toxins are difficult to eliminate, and alcohol will also amplify the toxicity when it enlarges the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials. If you use medicinal materials that have not been professionally prepared, the toxicity is more violent, and the slightest carelessness will endanger life.
For example, the appendages belonging to the buttercup family like grass wu, although because of sexual heat, have a good effect of warm menstruation to relieve pain, return to the yang to save the rebellion, and replenish the fire and help the yang, but the appendages contain great poison. After the concoction of the appendage, both the appendage, the toxic content is relatively low, and its toxicity can be used for a small amount of medicinal liquor, but it still needs to be used strictly in accordance with the doctor's instructions. The toxicity of the appendage will be stronger under the influence of alcohol, which is very easy to cause poisoning.
In addition, there are some medicinal herbs that can only be used externally, can not be taken internally, and the middle school is rich in knowledge, and cannot be blindly used by relying only on one-sided benefits. Therefore, although medicinal liquor has the effect of health care and health maintenance, due to the influence of production methods, selection of medicinal materials, medicinal effects and other issues, the hidden professional knowledge in medicinal liquor is very much, and self-pharmaceutical liquor has certain risks, so it is recommended that you try to avoid self-medicated liquor.
Finally, there are also many types of medicinal liquor, which are usually divided into quasi-brand medicinal liquor and health liquor, and there are different choices for different people's physiques and needs, which cannot be used at will.
Extended reading: The harm of kidney failure should not be underestimated
The kidneys are important metabolic organs of the human body, and the waste products and toxins in the body are metabolized through the operation of the body's endocrine function, so the toxin effects produced by excessive medication can easily affect the function of the kidneys. Renal failure is a pathological condition that causes partial or total loss of kidney function due to various reasons, and often shows clinical reactions such as anemia, nocturia, water-electrolyte imbalance, acid-base balance disorders, and mild gastrointestinal, cardiovascular and central nervous system symptoms.
Renal failure is divided into acute renal failure and chronic renal failure. Acute renal failure is usually due to insufficient blood supply in the kidneys, toxic substances or drug factors that lead to tubular obstruction, resulting in impaired renal function and impaired excretory function in a short period of time. According to survey statistics, nearly half of acute kidney failure in mainland China is caused by drugs, and some of them are caused by exposure to harmful substances.
There are many causes of acute renal failure, but if the cause is found in time and the early intervention is carried out, most patients can get some degree of kidney function recovery. Therefore, when the kidney function is abnormal, it is necessary to seek medical treatment in time, look for the cause, and treat it in a targeted manner. Due to the individual differences in patients, some patients may still develop chronic renal failure after the disease is controlled, and long-term treatment is needed to stabilize the disease.
It can be seen that the taking of drugs is not only a therapeutic effect on the body, but also a dangerous hidden danger. When the disease comes, you must seek medical treatment in time, but also avoid blind medication. In addition, for people with chronic diseases who need to take drugs for a long time, they cannot stop taking drugs privately because they are afraid of taking drugs, which may lead to difficult control of the disease. Therefore, regarding the use of drugs, it is necessary to follow the doctor's advice.
Summary:
Although the medicinal liquor is good, it is not recommended that everyone use it at home, the medicine enters from the mouth, if it is not suitable and appropriate, it will also become poison from the mouth, and the beneficial medicine will also become the poison of harmful people, and the medicinal liquor will become the "poisonous wine" that seals the throat from the treasure of the body to the body. At the same time, when pursuing health and health care, we cannot blindly believe in online information, let alone rush to try privately.
