I believe everyone is familiar with centipedes, and they can even be seen occasionally in life. "Compendium of Materia Medica" also introduces centipedes: "Centipedes are found everywhere in the southwest. They sting in spring and winter. They have feet in every section and have double beards and tails." Centipedes are called "five poisons" together with snakes, scorpions, geckos and toads. Five poisons are also commonly used animal medicines in traditional Chinese medicine, and centipede is very similar to the whole scorpion in effect, and the two drugs are often used together, but the overall power of the centipede is more severe than that of the whole scorpion, so let’s take a look at the centipede. What is the role.
1. Relieving wind and stopping spasm
Centipede is good at walking around, can reach inside and outside. It is an essential medicine for stopping wind and stopping spasm. It can be used for limb twitches, hand and foot spasms, centipedes caused by various causes of liver wind or infection with external wind. For example, symptoms such as acute convulsions caused by high fever in children, slow convulsions, tetanus, acute stroke, epilepsy and so on caused by spleen deficiency, as long as the symptoms of convulsions and convulsions appear, centipedes can be used to relieve the wind and relieve the convulsions. In addition, it also has a therapeutic effect on the crooked mouth and eyes and even facial paralysis of centipedes caused by the wind in the meridian.
2. Attacking poison and dispersing knots
centipede itself is highly toxic and can attack poison with poison. External toxins invade the body, causing skin sores, swelling and pain. Centipedes can dispel toxins to dissipate sores and relieve pain. The centipede itself is warm and dry, and the centipede also has the effect of eliminating phlegm and dispelling the sputum core caused by the accumulation of wet phlegm.
3. Tongluo analgesic
centipede can search for wind and collaterals, and is stronger than scorpion, and can also relieve pain, so it is often used to treat rheumatism arthralgia for a long time, meridian spasm and even joint deformation. It also has a good therapeutic effect on stubborn headaches or migraine centipedes.
4. Anti-tuberculosis
Centipede has the effect of inhibiting and killing Mycobacterium tuberculosis. For example, scrofula in Chinese medicine refers to the occurrence of nuclear masses in the neck caused by the infection of the neck lymph nodes by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The use of centipedes can inhibit and kill. Inactivate tuberculosis bacilli, and can also resolve phlegm and dispel congestion. The use of centipedes for other types of tuberculosis also has anti-tuberculosis and improved curative effects.
5. Anti-tumor
centipede has a good anti-tumor effect in addition to anti-tuberculosis. Common cancers such as esophageal cancer, liver cancer, breast cancer, skin cancer, lung cancer and other common cancer centipedes can play a role in certain treatments and improve curative effects. Although
centipede has many functions and is very effective, it is often used in many clinically critical diseases. But its toxicity is obvious, so it is not suitable for pregnant women. Secondly, the clinically safe dosage of centipede is 3 to 5 grams, and it is best not to exceed this dosage. And the most important thing is to strictly follow the doctor's advice and use it under the guidance of a doctor.
