Feces wine, or Ttongsul, is an alcoholic Medicine made with feces used in the Joseon Dynasty and was introduced to the public by Vice Japan's reporter Yuka Uchida in 2013. She interviewed Dr. Lee Chang Soo, who makes this medicine from feces [1] Although the existence of feces wine is unheard of by the majority of Korean population, Japanese media have promoted the drinking of feces wine as culture of Korea.[2]
Production[edit]
Ttongsul may be produced in either of two ways. The more time-consuming involves submerging a bamboo stick in a chamber pot that contains feces and alcohol. It is left there for several months as it ferments, and the ttongsul is extracted from the bamboo.[3][verification needed][4][5] A more rapid method, which may produce less favorable results, simply involves mixing alcohol and feces directly for several days.[6][7]
Origin[edit]
Medicinal compounds produced from feces have a long history in China.[8] In China, the 4th century Chinese medicine handbook by Ge Hong describes the oral consumption of human feces in treating food poisoning and diarrhea.[9][10] In the 16th century, Li Shizhen detailed the oral consumption of human feces in treating various gastrointestinal diseases through the ingestion of concoctions such as "yellow soup" and "golden syrup", which contained fresh, dried, or fermented stool.[9][10][11] As long ago as the Tang Dynasty, chicken manure was used this way. Other types of feces were historically used in medicines, including that of flying squirrels, bats, hares, and sparrows.[12] and silkworms.
In Japan, equine feces have been believed to have medicinal efficacy and have been traditionally used as a therapy since the Sengoku period. Equine feces is said to be especially effective in treating gunshot wounds by direct application to the area, or via consumption by mouth or in an aqueous mixture.[13][14][15]

이런 기괴한 술 중에 가장 극적인 사례가 똥술이다. 타박상으로 울혈이 생겼을 때 막걸리에다 똥을 하룻밤 담가 두었다 마시면 낫는다고 한다. 단, 건강한 10 세 이하의 어린이 똥이라야 듣는다고 한다. 개똥과 닭똥으로도 약술 을 만든다. [One of the most dramatic cases of these bizarre liquor is ttongsul. When bruises become congested, drinking feces immersed in rice wine for a night will cure them. However, the feces must be the one of healthy children under the age of 10 year. The medical liquor is also made of feces of dog or chicken.]
