Does white wine reduce inflammation?

The TV drama industry is very developed now. When people watch TV dramas, they will find that many soldiers use white wine to reduce inflammation and kill bacteria after being injured in the war. Everyone knows that alcohol has an anti-inflammatory effect, but it generally only works when the purity is very high. Many people think that the alcohol content of liquor is too low and cannot reduce inflammation. Let’s explore whether white wine has an anti-inflammatory effect.

Household liquor cannot replace alcohol, so it cannot have a better disinfecting effect on wounds. Because medical disinfectant alcohol is 75% and the alcohol content of liquor is only 62 degrees, household liquor has no disinfecting effect. If you don't use white wine, just boil some water and add some salt to wash it. White wine can only kill bacteria, and too high a concentration may make the wound worse. Salt water can reduce inflammation and has a bactericidal effect.

Liquor cannot achieve a complete disinfection effect. The concentration of medical alcohol is 75%. The alcohol content of liquor is not fixed, ranging from 30 degrees, 60 degrees, and 40 degrees. The concentration is not enough, so the disinfection effect cannot be achieved. It is not recommended to use alcohol to directly contact the skin for disinfection, as alcohol will irritate the skin.

Liquor, whose alcohol content does not reach 75 degrees, has no disinfecting effect and therefore cannot be used for skin disinfection. If you need disinfection, you can use: 75% alcohol, iodine tincture. If there is foreign matter or necrotic tissue in the wound, you can use: hydrogen peroxide for cleaning and disinfection.

Tips

Disinfection refers to a method that kills pathogenic microorganisms but not necessarily bacterial spores. Chemical methods are usually used to achieve disinfection. Chemicals used for disinfection are called disinfectants. Sterilization refers to the method of killing all microorganisms (including bacterial spores) on an object, usually using physical methods to achieve the purpose of sterilization.
