Lychee medicinal wine: The medicinal wine brewed during the summer solstice is the most healthy
Overview
The summer solstice is the day with the longest day and shortest night in the Northern Hemisphere. The ancient Chaoshan custom says that if the medicinal wine is soaked on the day when Yang Qi is at its strongest, it will have the best effect. Coincidentally, today I learned from a fruit farmer how to soak lychees in medicinal wine, and also bought the best red glutinous rice lychees for soaking in medicinal wine. Let’s just believe that on the summer solstice, soak a bottle of health-preserving lychee wine for yourself and your family. The fruit farmer said that lychee wine soaked in shells can nourish kidney qi and strengthen waist strength. "Chinese Materia Medica" says that lychee shells can remove dampness, stop dysentery and stop bleeding.
