The benefits of Phytolacca root wine

1. The roots of Phytolacca sinensis come in two colors: bright red and milky white. The milky white roots are most suitable for making medicinal wine. The bright red roots of Phytolacca sinensis are highly toxic and cannot be used for making medicinal wine. Eating the white root of Sanglu soaked in medicinal wine can promote blood flow, accelerate blood circulation, prevent blood stasis in the body, and improve the body's ability to withstand cold. In addition, soaking the feet with the root of Sanglu can dispel wind and cold and improve the body's ability to withstand cold.

2. Removing wind and dampness is also the main benefit of soaking your feet in the root of Smilax china. The honey wine soaked with it can be taken orally or applied externally. It has excellent therapeutic effects on human bruises and rheumatic joint pain. In particular, when people have swelling, pain and bruises due to bruises, they can immediately rub the honey wine soaked with the root of Smilax china on the affected area and massage it. Let the skin absorb the honey wine, which can promote blood circulation and remove stasis, and can also quickly reduce swelling.
