The efficacy and function of cherry wine

I believe everyone knows about cherries, but what about cherry wine? For those who don’t know, please read the following introduction.

The effect of cherry wine

Cherry has a beautiful name and an even better shape. According to ancient legend, as soon as the bright red cherries appeared on the branches, beautiful yellow orioles would fly over to eat the pits, so they are also called "oriole peaches" and "peaches". Li Shizhen believed that its gem-like fruit is as beautiful as a peach, very similar to the ancient jade beads worn around the neck. Ying and cherry have the same pronunciation, so it is called "cherry". Cherries are petite, crystal clear, round like pearls, red like agate, and their shape and color are quite similar to the red lips of a beautiful woman, so they have always been loved by people.

Cherries have good color and taste, and are rich in nutrition. They are thick and juicy, and taste sweet and sour. In addition to the nutrients that are common in fruits, their iron content ranks first among all fruits, with iron content of up to 6 mg per 100g, which is 20 times higher than that of apples, oranges, and pears; and vitamin A content is 4 to 5 times higher than that of apples, grapes, and tangerines. In addition, they are rich in protein, sugar, calcium, phosphorus, vitamin B, vitamin C, and carotene. In addition to being eaten raw, cherries can also be processed into cherry cakes, cherry jams, cherry wine, canned cherries, and other foods, all of which are nutritious and delicious, with their own unique flavors.

Cherries have health benefits

Chinese medicine believes that cherries are sweet and warm in nature, and can "regulate the middle and replenish qi, make people have a good complexion, and beautify their character." Eating them raw or drinking them in decoction can nourish the spleen and replenish qi, and can treat weakness after illness, loss of appetite, insomnia, etc. Drinking them in wine can dispel wind and dampness, and treat numbness of the limbs and joint pain. Clinical observations have also confirmed that cherries are the best fruit for preventing and treating anemia, and are also a good medicine for treating gout and rheumatism. Eating cherries can significantly relieve joint pain within a few days. In addition, cherry juice can also treat frostbite, burns, and sweat stains. The whole body of the cherry tree can be used as medicine: the roots are boiled in water and taken to treat ascariasis, pinworm disease, and amenorrhea in women; the leaves are boiled in decoction for sitting baths to treat vaginal trichomoniasis; the branches and leaves are boiled and taken to treat coughs and diarrhea; the cores are fried with vinegar and ground into powder and taken with water to treat hernia pain; the leaves are pounded and applied to treat insect and snake bites; the branches and flowers are also good beauty medicines to eliminate facial freckles and acne.

Cherries can relieve joint pain

Studies have shown that cherries are rich in anthocyanins, anthocyanins and vitamin E, which are very effective antioxidants. They can promote blood circulation, help the excretion of uric acid, and relieve the discomfort caused by gout and arthritis. In particular, anthocyanins in cherries are very effective in eliminating muscle soreness and inflammation. A study by the University of Michigan in the United States found that this anthocyanin can reduce the chance of inflammation. Generally, patients with gout or arthritis can reduce swelling and relieve pain within a few days after eating cherries. People who work in front of computers for a long time often have headaches, muscle soreness and other problems. Eating more cherries can also relieve or eliminate these symptoms.

Fresh cherries are on the market for a short time, so it is not possible to eat fresh fruits often. However, patients can still achieve the effect of promoting blood circulation and relieving pain by taking cherry wine. For cherry wine, it is advisable to choose low-alcohol grain fermented wine, such as rice wine, yellow wine, sorghum wine (about 40°), etc. Cherry wine is stored in a dark and cool place, and can generally be stored for 8 months to 1 year without deterioration. When cherries are produced every year, patients can choose to soak cherry wine in moderation.

Cherry wine configuration

The method is that the ratio of cherries to wine is generally 1:10, that is, 100g cherries use 1000ml wine. Soak the cherries in wine for 1 week and then drink them. You can drink 20ml each morning and evening. If the pain is not too severe, you can only drink 25ml at night. When the wine is about to run out, you can add an appropriate amount of wine to soak again.

Although cherry wine is effective in relieving joint pain, it can never replace necessary drug treatment; people with high blood pressure should use it with caution.
