This article is about the medical use of wine. For other uses, see Wine (disambiguation).
Wine (Medical Use) dates back centuries to when wine was used to treat and prevent various health conditions in the historical development of human medicine. Ancient Egyptian, Greek and Chinese dynasties were at the forefront of these scientific, medicinal and cultural advances, preparing their wine with the infusion of herbs and medicinal plants[1]. It was also promoted in the bible as having medicinal effects, thus reinforcing its ancient use.
Grape wine is the oldest documented human-made medicine, dating back to over 9,000 years ago, in understanding its religious connection, early practitioners were often priests and religious clergy[1]. In ancient times wine was a key ingredient in curing a wide range of common ailments due to the presence of Resveratrol (from the skin of the grapes), a polyphenol that supports bodily systems and was a staple inclusion in most diets, both wealthy and poor[2].
Wine, both red and white, has been used as a medicine for many reasons due to its active ingredient, alcohol. Such common uses ranged from: a disinfectant for wounds, a pain killer during childbirth, digestive aid and a treatment for illness associated with diarrhea, dementia, sinus relief, fatigue and a vast amount of other common illnesses[1].
Whilst the medical use of wine has been around for centuries, wine today is mostly used for recreational alcohol consumption rather than to treat sickness.
