Ants have extremely high medicinal value and a wide range of functions. Drinks made from ants and wine can play the roles of skin care, anti-inflammation, anti-aging, antiasthmatic, sedative and analgesic. Has good curative effect on rheumatism and rheumatoid arthritis, malignant tumor, chronic hepatitis, hepatitis B, gout, insomnia, malignant ulcer, pulmonary tuberculosis, impotence, nocturnal emission, menoxenia, sciatica, radiculitis, alopecia after illness, neurosis and other diseases. It can cure many diseases, effectively increase appetite, help sleep, relieve fatigue, refresh the spirit, invigorate qi and beautify the face, strengthen bones and muscles, resist aging and prolong life. In China, ants have been used to treat diseases for a long time. The "Confucius Pill" in the Han Dynasty used ants to make honey into pills to treat diseases such as weakness of bones and muscles, which was widely circulated among the people. The earliest record in ancient books of traditional Chinese medicine is Notes on Materia Medica written by Chen Zangqi in Tang Dynasty. The original book was lost in the early stage. In the second year of Daguan in Song Dynasty (A.D. 1 108), Tang Shenhui recorded the morphology and therapeutic effect of the one-horned ant in the Materia Medica for Emergency Treatment through Classics and History. Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica recorded the habits, toxicity and medicine of ants in detail during Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty. In Northeast China and Inner Mongolia, "ant stewed tofu" is used for postpartum lactation and lactation deficiency. Lanzhou used ants to soak in wine to treat wind-cold-dampness arthralgia (old cold legs); In Guangxi, it is useful for the elderly and people with debilitating diseases to use steamed balls mixed with ant powder as a supplement. Ant preparation can make immune organs and immune cells proliferate; Promote cell division and increase the content of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) in cells; Promote the proliferation of germ cells and improve sexual function. The mechanism of ants treating diseases is realized by improving human immune function. There are also many examples of ants used for medicine abroad. For example, the former Soviet Union used alcohol extract or softened ants to treat suppurative dermatosis and neurodermatitis 30 years ago, or used dry ant powder to rub the affected area to treat old rotten legs (chronic lower limb ulcers) caused by zinc deficiency. The University of Miami studied a Bolivian ant, which proved that the venom of this ant can treat rheumatoid arthritis. Their venom was injected into patients, and 1 ml was injected every day, and 14 days was a course of treatment, which achieved good results. Barville Malikov, a researcher at the Kazakh Institute of Zoology, has made a long-term study of local red ants. They found that the venom glands of red ants do not contain formic acid, and five alkaloids were analyzed from them, which have inhibitory effects on streptococcus and staphylococcus. Australian biologists have discovered a new antibiotic produced by ants, which can effectively inhibit human pathogenic organisms (especially fungi). These antibiotics can effectively kill Candida albicans causing thrush and effectively inhibit the reproduction of Staphylococcus aureus. Because this antibiotic is secreted by the hind thymus of ants, it is called "post-thymic hormone".
