Help with original Chinese herbal prep

[Guest guest]

Rod,

 

Can you specify which of the herbs below you use for women, and which for men?

How do the dosages vary?

 

Thank you,

 

Andrea Beth

Hi Geoffrey

 

Sorry to hear you can't find real rice wine where you are. Where are you? If

you have a chinese herbal store close to you they generally stock the real

stuff in the back and it shouldn't be the salted kind either. I pay $12.00 a

bottle here in Vancouver Canada from Guanghai Foodstuffs Imp & Exp.(Group)

Corp. with a yellow and red label. The real stuff is 45% proof and is used

to prepare in herbal tonics soaked for at least three months before use. I

make a man's potion and a women's potion each year at about this time in 25

liter containers as Christmas presents and in homage to Sun si miao's

dictcum of a little wine being very beneficial. I can share the recipe if

you could find the wine. The taste is absolutely addictive and you just sip

2 oz to feel the qi reach your forhead. Du Zhong, Ba Ji Tian, Hai Long, Hai

Ma, Yin Yang Huo, Tu Si Zi, Xu Duan, Suo Yang, Mai Men Dong, Gou Qi Zi, Sang

Ji Sheng etc. After one month you can start sipping the ambrosia -

carefully.

Okay Andrea, I guess the secret is out. I passed on the recipe for men to

Geoffrey so I'll have to oblige the women. Yes the dosages vary. Here are

the two recipes. But you have to promise me you will not go crazy over this

brandy. I really can't believe how good this tastes, it's like cognac or

maybe some kind of German Ausbach.

Thank you, Rod. Ordinarily, I abstain from alcohol, but this sort of

therapeutic wine sounds very potent, indeed.
