The medicinal liquor has enjoyed the fame of "the best drug of all". It is the mixture of traditional Chinese medicine and distillate spirits or rice wine which can be conveniently prepared. It is stable in nature, safe and effective. This is because alcohol is a fine semi-polar organic solvent that can easily dissolve all active ingredients in drugs. Thus the drugs and liquor can be complementary to each other,fully enhancing the efficacy of medicine and the curative effect. |
