  As a traditional Chinese medicinal herb, Bull大力 has effects of nourishing kidney and strengthening tendons and muscles, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. It is suitable for symptoms such as kidney deficiency-related low back pain and rheumatic pain. For individuals with suitable body constitution and no specific contraindications, moderate consumption of Bull大力-infused water can provide certain health benefits. However, it is recommended to start with a small amount when trying it for the first time, and observe the body's reaction.

  Additionally, Bull大力 contains abundant dietary fiber and enzymes, which may help alleviate symptoms of indigestion such as bloating and abdominal pain. Bull大力-infused water should not be stored for a long time and is best consumed within the same day to maintain its optimal taste and effectiveness. Although Bull大力-infused water has certain health benefits, it is not suitable for long-term consumption by all individuals. People with a heat-prone constitution, as well as those with impaired liver or kidney function, should consume it cautiously or follow medical advice.

  While consuming Bull大力-infused water, it is advisable to avoid eating spicy and stimulating foods such as chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, and mustard, as they may interfere with the herb's therapeutic effects.
