Medicinal effects and functions of geckos

Gecko is a small animal that we often see in our lives. Gecko is a beneficial insect because it mainly feeds on small insects or mosquitoes, and geckos can also be dried and used as medicine. Geckos have many medicinal effects on the human body, such as promoting blood circulation, calming wind and relieving shock. They can also be used to treat diseases such as stroke, paralysis and tetanus. Therefore, when you see geckos in your life, you should protect them rather than mistakenly think they are pests.

The efficacy and function of geckos

1. Calming down wind and calming nerves

Geckos taste salty and are cold in nature. They are reptiles that are good at promoting blood circulation and activating collaterals, extinguishing wind and calming the nerves. They are used to treat convulsions in children, paralysis caused by stroke, convulsions caused by tetanus, rheumatic pain, wind-phlegm convulsions and epilepsy.

2. Softening and dispersing lumps

Gecko tastes salty, which can soften and disperse lumps. It is cold in nature and good at clearing away heat and detoxifying, unblocking meridians and relieving pain. It is often used for diseases such as scrofula, cancer, etc.

3. Dispel wind and relieve pain

Geckos are cold in nature and have the functions of clearing away heat, detoxifying, removing wind and relieving pain. They are often used for rheumatic pain. Patients are affected by wind-heat and dampness, which lead to rheumatism. Or because the wind-cold-dampness arthritis does not heal for a long time, the evil stays in the meridians and joints, and becomes hot due to depression and heat. For example, in "Jinkui Yi·Rebi" it says: "Rebi is the accumulation of heat inside the body..., there is heat in the viscera and meridians, and then the wind, cold and dampness invade it. Heat is blocked by cold, and qi cannot flow. Long-term cold turns into heat, which causes paralysis and stuffiness." Symptoms include joint pain, local burning, redness and swelling, which are slightly relieved by cold, and the pain cannot be touched. The disease can affect one or more joints, and is often accompanied by fever. Systemic symptoms include aversion to wind, thirst, restlessness, yellow and dry tongue coating, and slippery and rapid pulse. The treatment should use gecko, which can clear away heat, dredge meridians, dispel wind and dampness, disperse blood stasis and relieve pain.

4. Clear away heat and detoxify

Geckos are reptiles that are good at walking and running. They are salty and cold in nature, and have strong heat-clearing and detoxifying abilities. They are often used for various vicious sores and carbuncles. For example, the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine states: "When the nutrient qi is not in harmony and flows against the flesh, carbuncles and swellings will form." Another example is the Complete Works of Jingyue: Surgery. "Lun Ji" : "Carbuncle is caused by heat congestion outside the body, which is the poisonous qi of yang. It is high in swelling, red in color, very painful, with a thin and shiny skin, pus that is easy to turn into pus, and the mouth that closes easily. The quicker it comes, the quicker it heals." Its treatment should use gecko to clear away heat and detoxify, soften and disperse nodules, and relieve blood stasis and pain.
