The term "aoaojiao" in Northeast China usually refers to Shenjingcao, a traditional Chinese herbal medicine. It should be used under the guidance of a doctor, and one should not take it blindly on their own. Shenjingcao is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicinal herb with a mild nature and sweet taste. It has the effects of strengthening the waist and nourishing the kidneys, clearing heat and promoting diuresis, and detoxifying. To a certain extent, it can treat symptoms such as lumbar pain due to kidney deficiency, impotence, and premature ejaculation. It can also treat physical conditions caused by heat-induced strangury or snake or insect bites. When used under a doctor's guidance, the medicine may not have a significant impact on one's health. However, frequent and blind use of this medicine may affect the body's normal metabolism and endanger health. If one has an allergic tendency to this medicine or has conditions such as spleen and stomach weakness, they should avoid using it. If symptoms such as skin redness, itching, or rashes occur during medication use, one should stop taking the medicine immediately and seek medical attention. During medication, it is important to drink plenty of water and urinate frequently to promote body metabolism and eliminate toxic substances produced in the body. Additionally, engaging in physical exercise according to one's own condition can help strengthen the body. At the same time, attention should be paid to a light diet, consuming easily digestible foods, avoiding overeating, and quitting smoking and alcohol consumption to prevent reduction of the medication's effectiveness.
