If you want to use dried Zaocys dhumnades (black - striped snake) for treatment, in traditional Chinese medicine, it's often used to relieve rheumatic conditions.
It can be decocted in a herbal formula. For example, combined with other herbs like Notopterygium incisum and Angelica pubescens to make a medicinal decoction. This kind of decoction is usually used to expel wind - dampness, relieve joint pain and muscle spasms caused by rheumatism.
However, it's important to note that the use of snake products should be under the guidance of professional TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) doctors. Because incorrect use may lead to potential side - effects and in some regions, there are legal restrictions and conservation concerns regarding the use of wild - caught snakes.
