Its main functions are invigorating qi and nourishing blood, warming stomach and dispelling cold. Used for deficiency of both qi and blood, mental fatigue, stomachache, and loss of appetite.

Preparation technology of medicinal liquor Ethanol (commonly known as alcohol), the main component of wine, is indeed a good solvent, which can slowly dissolve the effective components in traditional Chinese medicine and release them stably in ethanol solution.

Ginsenoside Rg 1 is an important active ingredient in ginseng, which is soluble in water, methanol and ethanol, but insoluble in ether and benzene. It has the highest solubility in methanol, followed by ethanol, but methanol is toxic, so it is soluble in ethanol.

The preparation of medicinal liquor is mainly a leaching process, and the soluble components in medicinal materials are gradually transferred to the solvent. In order to improve the leaching efficiency, some methods can be adopted, such as grinding drugs moderately, increasing leaching temperature, mastering appropriate leaching time and expanding concentration difference.

The alcohol used is generally 75% medicinal alcohol, and some non-metallic containers, such as casserole, pottery jar and glassware, are used to prepare medicinal liquor.

Four kinds of medicinal liquor, ginseng medicinal liquor, belong to nourishing medicinal liquor, in addition, there are medicinal liquor for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, anti-rheumatic medicinal liquor and aphrodisiac medicinal liquor, and only a few syndromes match the medicinal properties of the wine, which is more suitable for making medicinal liquor. The main medicinal components of ginseng are dissolved in wine, and taking some medicinal liquor as needed will have a certain therapeutic effect. It's just that medicinal liquor is not suitable for everyone.
