Twists, also known as Myrtle, thrive in southern China. Their leaves grow in pairs, and their fruits resemble the seeds of certain plants, with a hard, smooth black shell and a small size. Despite this, they are a cooling traditional Chinese medicine, and many people consume them as fruit. Some even use them to make wine. What are the benefits and effects of these twists?

  As the saying goes: "On the 14th day of the seventh lunar month, ghosts pick the ripe fruits." That is to say, after the Ghost Festival on the 14th day of the lunar July, it's the time for the ripe fruits to mature. These fruits can be soaked in alcohol, and it's said they have many medicinal values, including nourishing blood, treating hematuria, and alleviating tinnitus and nosebleeds. Currently, it's the harvest season for these fruits. Soaking them in pure rice wine for half a year yields a delicious and aromatic fruit wine. The fruit wine has the functions of promoting hair growth, strengthening the bone marrow, consolidating semen, stopping bleeding, astringing intestines, improving eyesight, strengthening bones and muscles, activating the meridians, and nourishing yin. It also has good effects on rheumatism and lumbar pain.
