Alcohol is a powerful substance. In the body and in small amounts, it can supplement and move the qi and blood, scatter cold, and vitalise the spirit. In large amounts, of course alcohol is injurious to body and mind. For over two thousand years, in Chinese medicine, alcohol has been mixed with a large variety of medicinal substances to make medicinal wines and liqueurs. These medicinal wines are specially useful for the treatment of traumatic injuries, bi syndromes, and debility in aged. However they can also be used for a host of other problems.

This book contains the ingredients, method of preparation and administration, indications, and contraindications of over 200 authentic Chinese medicinal wines. Translated from both premodern and contemporary Chinese sources, this book is the largest and most complete on this subject in English.

The author, Bob Flaws, is an internationally known author, lecturer, and practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine. He has written, translated over 50 books on all aspects of Chinese medicine.
