Does vinegar have the effect of astringing blood?

When it comes to vinegar, people will naturally think of its sour taste. The joke that others are "jealous" means that everyone knows the meaning of jealousy. In fact, in daily life, vinegar is just a common condiment, which is often used to fumigate clean air. What kind of vinegar is that?

Vinegar is commonly known as bitter wine, pure vinegar, drunkenness, acyl and rice vinegar. Vinegar is a sour liquid brewed from rice, wheat, sorghum or wine, distiller's grains and other foods. China people knew about brewing thousands of years ago, among which Zhenjiang balsamic vinegar, Shanxi mature vinegar and Sichuan Baoning vinegar are famous. Vinegar is an important food condiment. A good ester has a special fragrance and sweetness in addition to its sour taste. The sour taste of vinegar is caused by a large amount of acetic acid produced after a series of fermentation and decomposition of vinegar raw materials. In addition, there are organic acids such as lactic acid, succinic acid, citric acid, grape acid and malic acid in the ester, which makes the acetic acid mellow. Its fragrance is formed by the combination of alcohol and organic acid into aromatic ester. There is still some salt in vinegar, which is one of the factors that make vinegar delicious.

As a condiment, vinegar can increase the sour taste and flavor of food, increase gastric acid, promote appetite, help digestion, and has a certain bactericidal effect, which can remove the fishy smell of food and make it more delicious and unique.

Vinegar has been an important traditional Chinese medicine since ancient times. It tastes sour, bitter and warm. Functions: promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, stimulating appetite, promoting digestion, relieving swelling, softening hardness, removing blood stasis and toxic materials, killing insects and tinea, and treating sores. For example, the spectrum of interest-bearing diet says: appetizing, nourishing liver, strengthening tendons, warming stomach, sobering up, promoting digestion, lowering qi to ward off evil spirits, and relieving fish and crab scales.

Because vinegar is a typical representative of acidic food and medicine, it is generally used as a medicinal material to process traditional Chinese medicine, such as fried Bupleurum chinense with vinegar and fried turtle shell with vinegar. In addition to oral administration, vinegar can often be used as an external medicine to prepare external Chinese medicine.

Patients with peptic ulcer with hyperacidity should not be jealous. Vinegar can't use metal utensils such as bronzes, because vinegar will dissolve copper and cause "copper poisoning". Especially in daily life, people don't know much about the influence of jealousy on the efficacy of drugs, but in fact, when taking some drugs, we should avoid eating esters. If you are jealous when using erythromycin, spiramycin, leucomycin, streptomycin, gentamicin, kanamycin and other drugs, these antibiotics will reduce their efficacy in acidic environment. When vinegar and sulfonamides are used together, the drugs are easy to crystallize in the kidney and damage the renal tubules in acidic environment. When vinegar is combined with alkaline drugs such as aluminum hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, magnesium trisilicate, sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate. Drugs will lose their efficacy due to acid-base neutralization. When vinegar is combined with Chinese herbs for relieving exterior syndrome, acetic acid will affect the efficacy of Chinese herbs for sweating and relieving exterior syndrome.
