It is indeed recorded in the Wanli Xianju County Chronicle that the origin of medicinal wine cannot be verified. Maybe the Taoist priests in Xianju were one of the sources. Jin Huabin smiled and continued to read Zhu Jinze's article.
Shopkeeper Ye is worried about his son's health. Because he had a son at an old age, his son was born weak and sickly. Now, he is twenty years old. Because he takes medicine every day, he has developed a resistance to the medicine after taking too much. He drinks the medicine.
He was vomiting profusely. Although shopkeeper Ye was well versed in pharmacology and knew what medicine to use for treatment, and he also ran a medicine shop, so he didn't have to worry about the materials, but he was still helpless about his son's illness.
After listening to Wang Wen's idea, shopkeeper Ye was very interested and said: "It's medicine that contains three parts of poison, all of which have to be detoxified by the liver. I have been drinking a large bowl of bitter medicine every day since I was a child. This son's life is miserable. I will treat my son
I entrust you with the prescription. If you can really use wine to extract the essence of the medicine, the effect will be better than decoction in water. Our whole family is grateful for your great kindness. Take a look and see what other medicinal wine should be mixed with it. There are some in the shop.
If you need some medicine, just take it. If you need anything, just tell me and I will get it for you."
With that said, Shopkeeper Ye wrote to Wang Wen the tonic prescription prepared for his son. The ingredients in it were Ligusticum chuanxiong, Qianghuo, red peony root, coix seed, skullcap, Codonopsis root, skullcap, rehmannia root, licorice, cinnamon powder and so on.
While giving the prescription, Wang Wen took out a bag of medicine. As soon as he got a day's supply, Wang Wen was stunned. The whole ten bags were several times more than what he eats every day. The medicine is three-thirds poisonous.
, who can bear to take so many medicines every day?
After Wang Wen got the medicine, he made the Chinese medicinal materials into fine powder, then put it into a porcelain jar, added shochu to fully soak the powder, covered it, put it in a cool place, soaked it for a day, and filtered out the remaining residue.
, took the soaked wine and asked Shopkeeper Ye to try it. Shopkeeper Ye took a few sips and felt a heat flowing straight into his lungs. After a while, he felt that his whole body was full of energy. He quickly thanked him and said, "According to my many years of experience in dispensing medicine,
A small glass of wine is equivalent to a large bowl of medicine. Moreover, this wine can generate heat and promote qi, and also enhances the effectiveness of medicine. I asked my son to give it a try."
After saying that, he happily served it to his son. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes experience. Shopkeeper Ye has been selling medicine for many years and also treats patients. He is one of the famous local doctors. He knows the properties of the medicine as soon as he drinks it.
His son was weak but had an unexpectedly good capacity for drinking. After drinking a small glass, about two hours later, he told his mother that he was hungry and wanted some porridge. Shopkeeper Ye was overjoyed after hearing this and pulled him to his side.
He went to the drug store and said to him: "Your prescription is working. My son is hungry. I will give you some more medicine and adjust this prescription. Soon, my son's disease will be cured."
Wang Wen secretly laughed. It is normal to be hungry. Think about it. It turns out that there are two bowls of bitter medicine in your stomach every day. It is a large amount and difficult to digest. After eating it, there is no more space in the stomach for ordinary people to hold rice. What's more,
Needless to say, for a person who is already physically weak, it is different when extracted with wine. There is not so much residue, and it is gone as soon as you urinate, leaving your stomach empty.
Modern people all know that ethanol in wine is an organic solvent and has good solubility for certain organic drugs. Therefore, extraction with wine is more effective than decoction with water. Of course, because of the enhanced solubility, the proposed ingredients are also
Certain changes have occurred, and the efficacy of the medicine has also changed. A good doctor needs to correct the prescription. Wang Wen understands wine, but not medicine. With the help of Shopkeeper Ye, it will be much easier to make new prescriptions by adding medicine to wine.
.
Under the careful care of the two, after half a month, Shopkeeper Ye's son's face became much rosier. He could eat the same amount of food as a normal person for three meals a day, and his wine recipe became more and more mature. Watching his son getting healthier day by day,
Shopkeeper Ye said happily: "Let's give this medicinal wine a name, let's call it Shiquan Dabu Bar. From now on, if there are any other medicinal wines, our two families will jointly make them."
After the two sat down and discussed in detail, they determined that four categories of medicated wine formulas were determined for different groups of people and soaked in them. The first category was nourishing medicated wine, which was used for deficiency of both qi and blood, weak spleen, and liver and kidney yin deficiency.
For those with neurasthenia, it is mainly made from astragalus, ginseng, velvet antler, etc. The second category is medicated wine that promotes blood circulation and removes blood clots. It is used for patients with wind-cold and stroke sequelae. Patients with menstrual problems can use menstruation-adjusting wine, angelica wine, etc. The third category is
It is an aphrodisiac medicinal wine, used for people with kidney yang deficiency and sexual dysfunction. It is mainly made of wolfberry, Sanbian, etc. Guilingji wine. The fourth category is anti-rheumatic medicinal wine, named Zhuifeng medicinal wine.
People on Botan Pier live by the water, and the pier is humid, so there are many people suffering from rheumatism, and there are many serious rheumatism patients. If there is a medicinal wine that has miraculous effects on it, it will not only benefit them, but also definitely
It is a way to make money. Although Zhui Feng medicinal wine has the effect of curing rheumatism, its effect on severe rheumatism is too slow. Shopkeeper Ye shook his head after tasting it.
At this moment, a cry came from outside: "I'm selling snakes, I'm selling snakes, highly venomous five-step snakes. Shopkeeper Ye, do you want them in your medicine shop?"
Why didn't I think of it? Snakes are one of the best medicines for treating rheumatism. But it's winter now and poisonous snakes are hibernating. Where did he catch the snake? Shopkeeper Ye and Wang Wen asked the snake seller curiously.
Go to the hall.
"This snake is highly venomous. It will kill you within five steps after one bite. How dare you catch it in the summer? You can only observe its movement patterns, mark the entrance of its hole, and dig it out with a hoe in the winter.
It's a cave, it's sleeping soundly, so it's easy to catch it." The snake catcher said while showing the digging movements: "We have been catching snakes for generations, we always find holes in the summer and dig holes in the winter, so
, never failed."
In traditional Chinese medicine, there is a good prescription for treating rheumatism, which is to catch black snakes, bungar snakes, vipers, etc., dry them in the sun, boil them with other traditional Chinese medicines, and then drink them.
Will wine have another miraculous effect? Shopkeeper Ye bought a five-step snake from a snake catcher and asked him if it was possible to catch black snakes, bungar snakes, etc.
The snake catcher nodded and said: "This is not difficult. We have already marked it. As long as the shopkeeper is willing to pay, I will catch it and deliver it to the shop tomorrow."
The next day, the snake catcher actually brought some bungaras and black snakes. Shopkeeper Ye paired them with green wind vine, cassia twig, aconite, raw rehmannia root, astragalus, achyranthes root, atractylodes, dog spine, and windfeng.
Qiaohuo, Acanthopanax bark, peony, salvia, licorice, etc. were immersed in the wine together and heated. Two days later, I tasted the leached concoction and it seemed to have some effect, but the concentration was not high. It was estimated that it would need to be heated again.
It takes more than ten days or cold soaking for a year and a half to achieve the best effect.
I don’t have rheumatism, so I have to find a serious person among the bosses of the ship to test the effect. Shopkeeper Ye thought of Mr. Cui Shaogong at the dock. When he was young, he was strong and high-spirited, and was very prestigious in the dock. After suffering from rheumatism, he had symptoms.
He has changed into a different person, and it is difficult to even move, so he is just the right person to use as an experiment.
