　　Although Hujie is widely used and has a long history of use in China, it needs to be used with caution in daily life to avoid side effects. Firstly, patients with external wind-cold cough and asthma are not suitable for taking Hujie. It is also important to master the correct method of brewing Hujie medicinal liquor to effectively avoid side effects. The specific taboos of drinking Hujie medicinal liquor are as follows:

　　First: Brewing method and dosage of Hujie

　　There are many ways to use Hujie in daily life, and the most common one is brewing it into medicinal liquor. We often divide the brewing methods of Hujie into two categories: fresh brewing and dry soaking. It is necessary to master the correct method of brewing Hujie medicinal liquor because the medicinal properties of the liquor made by different methods are not exactly the same. We should choose the appropriate medicinal liquor based on our specific physical condition.

　　If you choose to brew Hujie fresh, you need to kill the fresh Hujie, remove the intestines, eyeballs, and brain, and then remove the blood. Do not touch water and directly put it into white wine for soaking. The second method is dry soaking, which means to open the broken belly of the cleaned Hujie with bamboo strips, then dry it over low heat, and then put it into white wine for soaking. There are many choices of liquor for Hujie medicinal liquor in daily life, such as Hujie liquor, Hujie and Sanqi liquor, and Hujie kidney tonic pills. We should choose the appropriate liquor based on our body's needs.

　　In addition to the brewing method of Hujie medicinal liquor introduced in this article, Hujie can also be decocted and taken orally. The dosage should be controlled between 3 grams and 6 grams, and avoid taking too much; grinding Hujie into powder is also a good method, with a dosage of 1 gram to 1.5 grams; in addition, Hujie can also be made into pills or powders for use.

　　Second: People who are not suitable for taking Hujie

　　Not all constitutions are suitable for taking Hujie in daily life. After all, it is a traditional Chinese medicinal material and needs to be used according to specific conditions to avoid various side effects. I suggest that although Hujie has the effect of treating cough, it is not suitable for treating cough caused by external wind-cold. At the same time, if the constitution belongs to yang deficiency and excessive internal heat, it is also not appropriate to use Hujie to avoid side effects.

　　Third: Identification method of Hujie

　　The head of Hujie is flat and triangular, and its eyes are mostly concave and look like holes. The mouth has fine teeth on both sides, but no molars. The shape of the lips is semicircular, and the snout is connected to the nose scales instead of covering the nostrils. There is one on each side and the middle is separated by the frontal scale. The abdomen of Hujie is oval, and the abdomen is relatively thin.

　　The back of Hujie is silver-gray or gray-black, and it is also covered with yellow-white or gray-green spots. The cervical vertebrae and ribs on both sides are relatively prominent, and the limbs have toes with webbed soles in the middle and suction cups at the bottom. The tail of Hujie is slender and relatively firm, and some joints can be seen faintly, and the color is the same as the back. The whole body of this medicinal material is covered with round or polygonal scales, which have a slight luster. Hujie has a fishy smell and a slightly salty taste.

　　Because Hujie itself has high medicinal value but the species is relatively rare, many unscrupulous businessmen in the market like to use other animals to impersonate Hujie, such as geckos, Chinese giant salamanders, tailless wall lizards, and wax-skinned lizards. When purchasing this medicinal material in daily life, be sure to pay attention to identification.
