Another method for soaking in wine: Add Fennel Fruit (Xiaohuixiang), Eucommia Bark (Duzhong), and Psoralea Fruit (Buguzhi).
Guihua Jiu (Osmanthus Wine): Brewed to a jade color, with an extraordinary fragrance, it is not an ordinary worldly object.
Yanggao Jiu (Lamb Lamb Wine): Greatly tonifies Yuan Qi, strengthens the Spleen and Stomach, and benefits the waist and Kidneys.
This is the formula from the Hua Cheng Hall during the Xuanhe era: Use one dan of glutinous rice, soak and grind according to routine methods to obtain the mash, steam it, then add seven jin of fat and tender lamb meat, fourteen liang of yeast, and one jin of Apricot Kernels (Xingren). Boil together until soft. Mix the juice with the rice, add one liang of Aucklandia Root (Muxiang), finely chopped, and ferment together. Avoid contact with water; it is ready in ten days.

Use five qian of Ginseng Root (Renshen), four liang of Angelica Sinensis Root (Danggui), and one pig kidney. Finely slice and boil together to eat, swallowing with the broth. Alternatively, use Chinese Yam (Shanyao) pounded into pills the size of paulownia seeds, take thirty pills each time, and swallow with warm wine on an empty stomach. Taking more yields better results.

Use two zhong of urine from an uncircumcised boy and one zhong of good wine, store in a porcelain bottle, insert a pair of pig kidneys, seal tightly with yellow mud. At dusk, cook slowly over low heat until done, continuing until midnight or early fifth watch. Warm again with fire before opening the bottle to drink the wine and eat the kidney. For severe cases, efficacy appears within one month. It is especially suitable for those who are normally weak and timid; its effect far surpasses mineral, stone, and herbal medicines.

All the above formulas have therapeutic effects superior to medicinal stones. People only know that medicine can cure diseases, but do not realize that food can also cure diseases. Sun Simiao stated: "A physician must first understand the cause of the disease and where the pathogen has attacked, treating it with food first; if dietary therapy fails, then consider medication." This is suitable not only for the elderly and children, but also for anyone focusing on health preservation or suffering from long-term illness and aversion to medicine.
