Cuscuta chinensis can be crushed or not when soaking in alcohol, and patients should use it under the guidance of a professional doctor.
Cuscuta chinensis is a traditional Chinese medicine with a pungent and sweet taste, mild in nature, and related to the liver, kidney, and spleen meridians. Whether crushed or not, Cuscuta chinensis soaked in alcohol has the same efficacy, including nourishing the liver and kidney, strengthening essence and reducing urine, calming the fetus, improving eyesight, and stopping diarrhea. Drinking Cuscuta chinensis wine in moderation can improve male symptoms such as impotence, semen leakage, and premature ejaculation caused by kidney yang deficiency. It can also alleviate symptoms such as low back pain, weakness of the waist and knees, and joint stiffness caused by kidney yang deficiency.
Cuscuta chinensis wine is warm in nature and can also regulate female infertility, cold uterus, uterine bleeding, and other symptoms. It can also improve symptoms such as loose teeth, premature graying of hair, and dull skin caused by deficiency of liver and kidney essence and blood. Patients with yin deficiency and fire excess, dry and hard stool, and dark and scanty urine should avoid drinking Cuscuta chinensis wine. In daily life, patients should also avoid long-term excessive consumption of Cuscuta chinensis wine, as it can easily lead to alcoholism. During the period of drinking, patients should also pay attention to a light diet and avoid spicy and stimulating foods, so as not to affect the efficacy of the medicine.
As a traditional Chinese medicine, Cuscuta chinensis can only play a role in conditioning and cannot treat diseases. If patients experience discomfort after drinking Cuscuta chinensis wine, they should seek medical attention promptly.
