The medicinal value of the cricket

Chinese medicine has a long history and is the crystallization of the wisdom of our ancestors, and this is especially true for Chinese medicine used to treat diseases. Chinese medicine is not only plants, many things have also become effective medicinal materials with high medicinal value, and the cang worm we are going to talk about today is one of them. Cang Chong is a traditional Chinese medicine, but it is not a plant. In fact, it is a parasite. It usually parasitizes on plants of the Asteraceae family, the Xanthales order. So what effect does this insect have? Let's talk about the medicinal value of Cang Chong.

1. The efficacy of Cang Chong:

Cang Chong is a traditional Chinese medicinal material that appears in the Compendium of Materia Medica. It parasitizes on the plant Xanthium sibiricum and lives in the mirror of this plant. It is an insect with obvious detoxification effects. It is a commonly used medicine for treating human unknown swellings, carbuncles and hemorrhoids. It is mainly used externally during treatment, and the therapeutic effect is particularly obvious.

2. Medicinal value of worms:

1. Treatment of unknown swelling

Cang worm can reduce swelling, detoxify and relieve pain. It can be used to treat unknown swelling and pus in humans. During treatment, the Cang worm can be burned into shape, then mixed with sesame oil to make a paste, and then applied directly to the swollen and painful areas. Change the dressing 1 to 2 times a day. After 3 to 5 days of continuous use, the symptoms of swelling and pain can be significantly reduced or disappear.

2. Treating furuncle

Cang worm is a commonly used medicine for treating human furuncles. During treatment, you can take 1 to 3 long worms, crush them into a paste, and then apply it directly to the area with boils. You can also grind the dried Cang worm into fine powder and apply it directly externally. After three to five consecutive uses, the pus in the boils will be reduced, and the swelling and pain will also be alleviated.

3. Treatment of malnutrition in children

Infantile malnutrition is a common disease in life. After it occurs, it can be treated with the traditional Chinese medicine Cang Chong. Thirty grams of dried Cang Chong can be added with an appropriate amount of borneol and ground into fine powder, and then applied directly to the affected area. Changing the medicine twice a day can detoxify with water and also reduce inflammation and relieve pain, which can significantly alleviate the symptoms of malnutrition. In addition, grinding the Chinese medicinal materials such as Cang Chong, Bombyx Batryticatus and realgar together for external use also has obvious therapeutic effects on infantile malnutrition.
