Features: This book selects 210 famous and effective medicinal wine formulas from ancient and modern times, divided into two major categories: tonifying health and treating rheumatism and trauma. Under each wine formula, it highlights the ingredients, preparation method, efficacy, indications, usage, and contraindications. It also explains the aliases, modification methods, and important notes for some wines. Due to continuous evolution or differing sources during transmission, some wine formulas may have the same name but different actual compositions, and such "variant formulas" are appropriately included in the book. Additionally, it should be noted that:
First, many wine formulas appear in multiple sources, and for brevity, the book cites only one source per formula.
Second, the dosage of ingredients in the wine formulas varies depending on the situation: some use the original formula dosage, some use recalculated amounts, and others use dosages reduced by a certain proportion.
Third, although some wine formulas list contraindications, many do not. Additionally, some wine formulas use ingredients with potential toxic side effects, such as Aconitum carmichaelii and Aconitum kusnezoffii. Therefore, readers must use properly processed ingredients and strictly follow the prescribed usage methods to ensure safety and enhance efficacy when brewing medicinal wines.
