In a quiet town, there is a 72-year-old man surnamed Sun, and one of his unique habits has caught everyone's attention.
Every day, Uncle Sun has to drink a glass of wine made with skullcap. And a physical examination half a year later, he was pleasantly surprised by the results.
Skullcap, an ancient Chinese medicinal material, has many medicinal properties.
It has a bitter taste, a cold nature, and returns to the lungs, gall bladder, spleen, large intestine, and small intestine. It has the effects of clearing heat and dampness, purging fire and detoxifying, stopping bleeding, and stabilizing the fetus.
Uncle Sun had some health problems before. He often felt dry and bitter, easily irritated, and his eyes were often red and dry. Moreover, his blood pressure is also a little high, which makes him feel dizzy and uncomfortable all the time.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, Uncle Sun's symptoms such as dry mouth and bitter mouth, and easy irritation may be caused by damp heat or heat poison in the body.
Skullcap's effects of clearing heat and dampness, purging fire and detoxifying can just deal with these problems.
Red and dry eyes are mostly related to liver inflammation. Skullcap enters the lungs and gallbladder meridians, which can clear the fire of the liver and gallbladder, and help to improve eye symptoms.
High blood pressure, dizziness and discomfort may be due to hyperactivity of the liver. Skullcap has a certain effect of calming liver yang, helping to regulate blood pressure and relieve dizziness symptoms.
In the past six months, Uncle Sun insisted on drinking wine soaked in skullcap every day. His method is not complicated, the appropriate amount of skullcap is washed and dried, and it is soaked in high white wine for a while.
At the beginning, Uncle Sun didn't have an obvious feeling. But he didn't give up and still stuck to the habit.
About two months later, Uncle Sun found that his symptoms of dry mouth and bitterness had been reduced, and he had less fire.
Over time, his red, dry eyes have also improved and are no longer as frequent as they used to be.
Half a year later, Uncle Sun went to the hospital for a physical examination. He was overjoyed by the results, and his blood pressure was effectively controlled, tending to the normal range. The symptoms of dizziness are also significantly reduced.
After learning about Uncle Sun's condition, the doctor explained that although skullcap soaking wine has played a positive role in Uncle Sun's health, the effect will be different for each person's physique and condition.
Moreover, there are also some issues to be aware of when using skullcap to make wine.
First of all, skullcap is cold, and long-term consumption of large amounts may damage the yang qi of the spleen and stomach, resulting in spleen and stomach deficiency and cold. Therefore, the amount and frequency of drinking needs to be moderately controlled.
Alcohol itself also has a certain impact on the body, and excessive alcohol consumption may increase the burden on the liver and damage cardiovascular health.
For some special groups, such as pregnant women, lactating women, people with spleen and stomach deficiency, etc., it is not recommended to drink skullcap soaked wine.
The application of traditional Chinese medicine needs to be carried out under the guidance of a professional doctor in combination with the individual situation. At the same time, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, such as a reasonable diet, moderate exercise, and maintaining a good attitude, is also an important factor in maintaining good health.
I hope that Uncle Sun's story can make more people understand the magic of traditional Chinese medicine, and at the same time, they can pay more attention to their own health, choose a health regimen that suits them, and embrace a better life.
