Wine (Flavor: Bitter)
Mainly treats hundred types of evil toxins and facilitates the action of hundred medicines. When drinking wine, one should lie down and fan oneself with a fan, or treat discomfort caused by wind-stroke due to evil invasion. Long-term consumption damages the spirit and shortens lifespan. [Jia]
(2) According to careful observation: For Zhong E Zhu Chu (a sudden severe illness caused by evil qi), drink one bowl of warm ginger wine; symptoms stop immediately upon ingestion. [Jia]
(3) Furthermore, wine unifies the vessels, nourishes Spleen Qi, and supports the Liver. Tao Hongjing said: "When the sea freezes solid, only wine does not freeze." This is due to its hot nature. Long-term consumption thickens the stomach and intestines and transforms sinews and bones. Initial consumption may trigger Qi-type dysentery. It is compatible with various medicines. However, those who consume Cinnabar (Dan Sha) will experience headache and fever if they drink wine. [Jia]
(4) Furthermore, for those taking Dan Shi (mineral pills) who feel urgency, heat, and stuffiness in the chest and back, use one sheng of soybeans, stir-fry until sweat appears, winnow to remove dust, and throw them into two sheng of wine. After a long period, consume all at once; sweating will occur shortly thereafter, leading to recovery. Daily consumption effectively removes all kinds of wind pathogens. Women with postpartum wind-pathogen conditions can also consume it. [Jia]
(5) Furthermore, process chicken manure according to the method for making Dou Lin Jiu (bean-dripping wine), named Zi Jiu (Purple Wine). For sudden aphasia or facial paralysis (mouth deviation), this wine is very effective. [Jia]
(6) In the past, someone who frequently consumed Chun Jiu (Spring Wine) became fat and fair-skinned. [Jia]
(7) Zi Jiu (Purple Wine): Treats Jiao Gong Feng (lockjaw/opisthotonos). [Zheng]
(8) Jiang Jiu (Ginger Wine): Mainly treats Pian Feng Zhong E (hemiplegia due to evil invasion). [Zheng]
(9) Sang Shen Jiu (Mulberry Fruit Wine): Tonifies the Five Zang organs, brightens eyes and ears. [Zheng]
(10) Cong Chi Jiu (Scallion and Fermented Soybean Wine): Resolves irritability and heat, tonifies deficiency and fatigue. [Zheng]
(11) Mi Jiu (Honey Wine): Treats Feng Zhen (wind rash/urticaria). [Zheng]
(12) Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix), Niu Xi (Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix), Hu Gu (Tiger Bone - *Note: Use modern substitutes*), Xian Ling Pi (Epimedii Folium), Tong Cao (Tetrapanacis Medulla), Da Dou (Soybean), Niu Bang (Arctii Fructus), Gou Qi (Lycii Fructus), etc., can all be used to brew wine; see other formulas. [Zheng]
(13) Brewing wine from Pu Tao Zi (grape seeds/pips) benefits Qi, harmonizes the middle, increases satiety resistance, and strengthens willpower. Using vine juice to brew wine is also excellent. [Zheng]
