Ttongsul, or feces wine, is a Korean medicinal drink made from feces, particularly that of humans. Ttongsul was first widely introduced to the public by Vice Japan's Yuka Uchida in 2013. She found Dr. Lee Chang Soo, who makes this apparently traditional Korean drink.[1]

Production
Ttongsul may be produced in either of two ways. The more time-consuming involves submerging a bamboo stick in a chamber-pot which contains feces and alcohol. It is left there for several months as it ferments, and the ttongsul is extracted from the bamboo.[2][3][4] A more rapid method, which may produce less favorable results, simply involves mixing alcohol and feces directly for several days.[5][6]
Origin
Medicinal compounds produced from feces have a long history in China,[7] Korea, and Japan.[citation needed] 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.[8] 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.[9][10][11]
