Why can poisonous insects become traditional Chinese medicine?
Poisonous insects can become Chinese medicine because they can fight poison with poison. In a health care program broadcast in gztv, Mr. Li, an expert from the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, once gave a good explanation. For example, when the host asked why poisonous insects had good efficacy, Teacher Li mentioned centipedes and scorpions in Chinese herbal medicines, and also mentioned that they were toxic drugs. At this time, Teacher Li also gave an example of the application of these toxic drugs in special toxic diseases.

Among them, what I still remember is that when he talked about cancer in "Special Toxic Diseases", he said that by fighting poison with poison, he activated his essence for cancer, and then improved his condition, and finally achieved the effect of treating himself, which was equivalent to stimulating his immunity. Yes, just like when we were young, the school arranged for us to get a flu vaccine. We used a little flu bacteria in the vaccine, which completely stimulated our own immunity. The ultimate cure is our own immunity.

Of course, unlike it, influenza vaccine will not cause great harm to the body because it has strict control over the process. However, if this poisonous insect is not used well, or the toxicity of this poisonous insect itself exceeds expectations, the consequences are unimaginable, so it needs to be emphasized here that the poisonous insects used in Chinese medicine are basically low-toxic. Therefore, it has played a good application effect in practical application.

It can be seen that the key to this poisonous insect becoming a Chinese herbal medicine lies not only in its characteristics of fighting poison with poison, but also in its doctors' proper choice of toxicity. This shows the beauty of Chinese medicine!
