Here’s a secret recipe for a medicinal wine to treat bruises and injuries, shared with the public! **Enthusiastic Netizen (Xin Hong, QQ: 343745485):** Hello, Teacher Hu. I’d like to share a secret recipe for a medicinal wine to treat bruises and injuries: – **40g** *Tougucao* (Speranskia tuberculata) – **40g** Raw *Wutou* (Aconitum carmichaelii) – **15g** *Ruxiang* (Frankincense) – **15g** *Moyao* (Myrrh) – **40g** Raw *Banxia* (Pinellia ternata) – **40g** *Chuanxiong* (Ligusticum chuanxiong) – **20g** *Fangfeng* (Saposhnikovia divaricata) – **40g** *Weilingxian* (Clematis chinensis) – **40g** *Chishao* (Paeonia lactiflora) – **40g** *Qianjinba* (Flemingia philippinensis) – **40g** *Siyedui* (Hedyotis diffusa) – **40g** *Sanqi* (Panax notoginseng) – **40g** Processed *Nanxing* (Arisaema erubescens) – **20g** *Rougui* (Cinnamon bark) – **20g** *Danggui* (Angelica sinensis) – **40g** *Shenjincao* (Lycopodium japonicum) – **20g** *Taoren* (Peach kernel) – **20g** *Honghua* (Carthamus tinctorius) **Note:** In traditional Chinese medicine, *Wutou* and *Banxia* are considered incompatible (part of the “18 Incompatibilities”) and should not be used together. However, since this is an external-use medicinal wine, it is safe. **This is for external use only. Do not ingest. Use at your own risk.** **Method:** Soak the 18 herbs in 2.5 kilograms of 50% alcohol (baijiu) for at least 10 days. Afterward, strain out the herb residue. Apply the medicinal wine to the affected area and gently pat it in to help the liquid penetrate deeper into the skin. Use three times a day. This remedy is remarkably effective for blocked meridians or bruises and injuries. Personally, I’ve found that my lower back pain or injuries to my waist and legs typically heal within two days. A relative of mine also experienced excellent results using it for facial nerve paralysis. I hope those who come across this recipe will cherish it. If you have any questions, feel free to consult me. **Contributor:** Teacher Xin Hong
