To the Chinese, drinking Benedictine
DOM after giving birth is the sure way to recuperate. That's what all
the mums will tell you and all the confinement ladies. But it seems
to be a serious case of blind leading the blind. I have done a lot of
readings, checked the label as well as scrutinize the DOM maker's
website, but never was there any claim that it has any medicinal or
tonic properties. In fact, many of its ingredients are spices (there
are some herbs, of course) that have minimal healing properties.
According to the book, The Secrets of People Who Never Get Sick,
by Gene Stone, “The herbal liqueur Benedictine D.O.M. (Deo
Optimo Maximo, “To God most good, most great”), originally
formulated in 1510 from twenty-seven herbs and spices, was designed
to fight malaria around the Benedictine Abbey at Fécamp on the north
coast of France”.
Hence, the recuperative wonder of
drinking DOM is truly not as effective as it claims to be. I strongly recommend drinking
Yomeishu or Huiji Waist Tonic, both of which contains
traditional chinese herbs used for thousand of years with high
efficacy.
