This is more beneficial to the kidney’s storage. If you sweat a lot, you can add 5 grams of cinnamon, but no need to add it under normal circumstances!
After stewing once, you can add more wine to stew it to make full use of the medicinal materials. That is, stew it twice and throw it away after eating, and then use new medicinal materials and continue stewing.
Specific steps
First buy a bottle of rice wine, Hakka Niangjiu, which seems to be 5 jin (that is, 2.5 liters). Just buy a large bottle. Generally, the alcohol content is about 11 degrees. People in Xingning call it glutinous rice wine because it is brewed from glutinous rice. The reason why it is called wine is that people who are in confinement eat more, that is, they have become mothers.
When the rice wine arrives, go to the medicine store to get these herbs, prepare a larger stew pot, wash the herbs, put them in the stew pot, add rice wine until it exceeds the herbs, of course, more is also fine (but don’t fill it too full, otherwise the wine will overflow after stewing). Then cover the lid to prevent the smell of the herbs from escaping.
If you are lazy, you can use an electric pressure cooker and stew it for 30 minutes each time. Stew it several times, and it will take about 3 hours in total. When the medicinal flavor comes out, you can eat it. Drink two cups of tea every night before going to bed, or you can pour three tablespoons into a cup and then add some hot water so that it is not too cold and you can drink it. It is normal for your face to turn red and your hands and feet to be warm after drinking it, which means that the qi and blood are activated, and you can fall asleep.
Some people have reactions after taking it, but remember not to do it recklessly. The Neijing says that having sex after being drunk is the most harmful to your health. Although drinking this little won’t make you drunk, we have mobilized our qi and blood (warm hands and feet, and a red face are proof of this). You must pay attention to this, and it’s the same for both men and women.
If you don’t have an electric pressure cooker at home, you can use steaming in water. You can stop after one hour, and then steam for another hour and stop. Then see if there is any medicinal smell. If not, steam it for another hour and you can eat it. Like this winter, if you have time, it is best to steam the medicinal food before drinking it, just like the ancients roasted (warmed) wine. This way it will taste richer and less humid.
If you don’t have that much time, just follow what I said above, scoop three tablespoons of rice wine with some boiling water and drink it. After slowly drinking the stewed rice wine, you can put in the wine again and steam it again. Next time you finish drinking it, you have to buy new herbs to stew it again, because we are drinking the properties of the medicine, not the rice wine. I just use the properties of the rice wine to bring these medicinal properties to every corner of the body. After drinking it, your hands and feet will be warm, and you will sleep comfortably, especially in this cold winter.
I hope that after drinking this drink, you will get better and better health and reduce pain. This is the purpose of life. Everyone wants to be healthy and live long, not just longevity. Why do I add the word “healthy”? If you are not healthy, even if you lie in bed for more than 10 or 20 years, even if you live to be over 90 years old, what is the meaning of longevity?
