Osteoarthritis – Arthrosis (Fu Fang Dang Gui Jiu)

Who is this DIY wine for?

This do-it-yourself wine is ideal for osteoarthritis.

What you need to make this wine:

• A bag containing the herbs you need to make this wine.
• An airtight glass container. We recommend a glass jar with a glass lid. The gasket will help keep the container airtight. Avoid jars with iron screw-on lids.)
• 1500ml grain alcohol such as vodka or sorghum or millet alcohol (called Bai Jiu in Chinese stores). Alcohol between 30 and 40 degrees is sufficient. No pharmaceutical alcohols!

Preparation for making this wine

• Put the whole sachet in a glass jar, or put them in a bag, and put the bag in the jar.
• Pour in 1500ml of vodka, sorghum alcohol or millet alcohol.
• Close the jar, having placed the seal on the lid beforehand.
• Label your container (name and date of manufacture).
• Leave the herbs to macerate in the alcohol for at least 10 days in a dark place, shaking the jar at least once a day (you can leave them to macerate for longer if you wish, e.g. 20 days, which will produce a stronger wine).

Once maceration is complete, the medicinal liquid can be filtered, or you can leave the ingredients in.

• If filtering, squeeze the herbs to recover as much substance as possible.
• You can decant the wine into a bottle if you wish.
• Always store the jar or bottle in a dark place.

Use

After maceration. Orally, 10 ml at a time, once in the morning and once in the evening. Do not exceed the maximum quantity of 20 ml.

For people who can’t tolerate alcohol, warm water can be added.
