You must have seen this scene in "Natural World": a male mantis with a severed head is mating. Female mantises require a lot of energy to lay their eggs, and male mantises are the safest source of energy.
In the 1980s, two scientists, Risker and Davis, conducted a series of experiments to observe the tails of the large knife mantises, and they found that the female mantises, who were in a state of high hunger, pounced on the male mantises and grabbed them to eat, and did not have the heart to have intercourse. Female praying mantises, who are not hungry, do not want to eat their mates. It can be seen that the main motivation of the female mantis eater is because of hunger. Perhaps for the sake of the next generation, the laws of nature have evolved to the point of no return: to perish in the hope of reproduction.
The Chinese medicine introduced to you in this issue is the home of these mantis eggs - mulberry mantis.
Mantis, two arms like axes like a large knife general, when the rut does not avoid, so it has the name of the lang, commonly known as the knife mantis. In ancient times, mantis eggs were called mantises, and the Sayings cloud: ticks, ticks, or ticks, worms, and mantises. Mantis out of three auxiliaries, the price of three hundred, the old mantis, the sound is similar also. The Compendium of Materia Medica records: "Its sub-room name is Mantis, and its shape is as light as a silk". Sangpi is good at doing water and can lead to the kidney meridians.
Mulberry mantis, the son of a mulberry mantis. The ancients thought that mulberry tree producers were good, which was much more exquisite than modern people, appearing dogmatic and a bit metaphysical. Whoever does not use miscellaneous branches to live, the name of the miscellaneous tree is called the snail, and the one who must find the mulberry branch east bank is the best. If it can be steamed in a steamer for an hour, do not do the work of cultivation is ineffective, if it is not true, you must add mulberry white skin.
Mantises lay their eggs, which are initially milky white, like molten glue, and after a while they harden into mantises. Mulberry mantis, mantis also. Late autumn are glued to the branches. The room is long, as big as a thumb, heavy with compartments, each room has a child such as maggot eggs, after the mango seed festival, the praying mantis is the same as many insects, feeling yin and born, when the yin is full of joy, to the yin decline and end its short life cycle. After all of them came out, their raw mantises head and arms, neck and abdomen, two hands and four feet, good luck and shortcuts, with whiskers instead of noses, like to eat human hair, especially good at catching cicadas. Zhuang Ziyun: The praying mantis clings to it and fights, sees and forgets its shape, and the cover is also said to be. Therefore, it left the yellow sparrow in the back of the words to make people think deeply.
The Tang Dynasty Zhang Xiao marked it with a poem cloud: "The blind eye deceives the ibis, and the flower edge net knots the jealous mantis". Why should beautiful flowers be "jealous of the mantis"? The ancients explained the "mantis" and said: "The mantis follows the ticket, the grub follows the Xiao, the speech is strong and the disease is light, and the motherhood of the Xiao class is also". I believe that since you know the story of "mantis killing husband" and "sacrificing yourself and reproducing offspring", you will not easily pick the mantis on the tree.
Replenish the yang and collect astringency
This product was first published in the "Benjing", listed as the top product, the taste is sweet and salty, the qi is flat and non-toxic, and the gas is thin and strong. Cover people to the kidney as the root, the man's kidney is weakened, then the five visceral qi is micro, or yin, dream of sperm enuresis, salty taste is water, internal integration into the kidney, kidney to get and yin qi growth. The praying mantis is the most powerful of the insects, and its children are the most fertile, so the strength of its kidneys can be known, so it can cure all diseases and improve sperm and produce children.
The kidneys and bladder are on the surface, and if the kidneys are nourished, the bladder is self-consolidating, and the gasification can be out, so the water is also leached. Women belong to the yin, liver and kidneys, hernia blood closed waist pain, all two menstruations for the disease, salty can benefit the yin, into the blood soft and firm, is the Lord. Gan can make up for the middle, so the main wound is beneficial to the qi, the kidney foot is the water rises by itself, and the heart is intercourse, so it can nourish the spirit. Mulberry mantis liver and kidney life medicine also, gong special astringent. Therefore, the man is weak, the kidney is weak and impotent, the sperm is lost in the dream, and the drowning is more used.
Mulberry mantis is a blind yang medicine, it can be used for impotence or other kidney yang deficiency of some of the disease evidence, so it is similar to the Yang supplement of epimedium and other kinds of epimedium; and it is a blind astringent medicine, which is mainly to collect astringent kidney qi, solidify and shrink urine. Between the two, it is the best to shrink urine, that is, the kidney qi is not solid, the bladder is out of constraint, the nocturnal urine is frequent, and the mulberry mantis is the preferred medicine, but the ancients cloud: "Is the medicine has three poisons", we must not look at it is a blind tonic and blindly take it!
Preparation and efficacy
When everyone looks at the doctor's prescription at the counter, there is often the name of the mantis, and the mulberry mantis and the sea mantis are named after the mantis, and the liver and kidney meridians can consolidate the sperm and shrink the urine and stop the belt, and can be used to treat spermatic slippery sperm, frequent enuresis, excessive vaginal discharge and so on. Mulberry mantis can be used to treat kidney deficiency and impotence. Sea mantis (also known as squid bone) can also be used to treat blood leakage, vomiting blood, blood in the stool and bleeding from trauma; stomach pain and acid vomiting; external treatment of eczema, eczema, ulcers with pus, long-term non-healing, should pay attention to screening.
The preparation method of mulberry mantis is generally to take the original medicinal materials, remove impurities, steam the bones of the steamer for about an hour, and take it out to dry. Steamed products can eliminate the laxative and slippery effect of raw products. You can also take the clean mulberry mantis, add salt water and mix well, put it in the pot after smouldering, heat it with a low heat, fry until the aroma escapes, take it out and let it cool, the salt mulberry mantis can enhance the effect of kidney consolidation; you can also take the steamed net mulberry mantis, spray it evenly with wine, slightly moisten, heat it in the pot with a low flame, fry until it is slightly dry, take it out and let it cool, and strengthen its replenishment after the wine is made.
One of the main aspects of Chinese medicine that distinguishes it from natural medicine is that it is processed and then applied, and it pays great attention to the raw and cooked medicine when dispatching medicines. The effect of raw and cooked is different, each has its own function, and the usage is different. Traditional Chinese medicine processing mainly includes purification, cutting and gunning. More than 90% of the contents of the cannon are changes in raw and cooked. The lifelong maturity of Chinese medicine has not only changed from the appearance, but also from the chemical composition and pharmacological effects, which is the mystery of concoction. Where the material qi is thick and powerful, there is no bias, the partial one is advantageous and there will be harm, and if you want to take its benefit and remove its harm, then use it to control it, then the partiality of the medicinal properties is mellow. Therefore, the maturity of cannon is bound to bring about changes in the function, medicinal properties, appearance, color and other aspects of traditional Chinese medicine.
Just as the so-called raw diarrhea is cooked, diarrhea is one aspect of the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine, the raw and cooked medicine, and the diarrhea is in yan. The agent of diarrhea, the benefits are preserved. Gaisheng is fierce and heavy-tasting, his attack is also urgent, his sex is also rigid, and the main is diarrhea. The mature person is pure and light, his attack is also slow, his sex is also soft, and the main is to make up. If there is a difference in diarrhea, a thousand miles, then the benefits of the medicine are clear.
Identification 1: whether there is incubation and variety
According to the ancient Materia Medica, only the egg sheaths laid on mulberry trees are called "mulberry slugs", while those that are produced on other plants can only be called "mantises". If not processed in time, the eggs will hatch and the larvae will run out, which will greatly reduce the efficacy of the drug. The key point to identify whether there is hatching or not is that the appearance of the mantis before hatching is relatively smooth and dense, it is not easy to break open, and there is liquid oozing out when it is broken hard. After hatching, the appearance is rough and can be easily broken open, and the eggs are not visible.
There are 1585 species of praying mantises worldwide. There are 51 species in China. It is a praying mantis that lays eggs, but as an egg sheath for medicine, it is currently mainly the egg sheath laid by large knife mantises, small knife mantises, thin-winged mantises and giant axe mantises and North China knife mantises. These five egg sheaths are processed and called mulberry mantises. The clump is slightly cylindrical or semi-circular, with a light yellowish-brown surface and a light, loose and tough body. It is a long mantis, slightly elongated, with a thin end and a grayish-yellow surface with a distinct band of bulges, hard and brittle. The black mantis is slightly parallelogram, with a gray-brown surface with oblique texture on both sides, and a slight upward upward curve near the tail end, which is hard and tough. It is preferable to be dry, intact, larvae are not produced, no branches and grass stalks and other impurities. At present, most of the goods in the market are Shandong cotton goods and Hebei iron goods.
Mulberry mantis is a wild-collected animal herb that changes in quantity and price due to climatic reasons. Because mulberry mantis mostly inhabit grass and branches, so in the process of picking and processing, a few mulberry mantises or some branches and grass stalks on it is a normal phenomenon, most mulberry mantis you can see the branches removed and leave hollow traces.
Identification two: raw and cooked goods
Everyone may encounter such a thing, their own Bucket of Chinese medicine worms, among which there will be mulberry mantis. However, this is a bit special, this kind of insect is raw goods, and its corresponding is cooked goods. Because the weight of cooked goods will be lower than raw goods, there is often adulteration in the market, and even raw goods are used to pass off as cooked goods.
Mulberry mantis is to be steamed after being harvested, and the purpose of steaming is to kill the eggs, not to kill them, they will hatch, and the medicinal effect will be lost after hatching; the second is the unsmooth egg sheath, which was thought to have the adverse reactions of slippery intestines and slippery sperm.
Raw goods identification can be broken open by hand, and some yellow eggs can be seen inside. If squeezed or smashed with a heavy object, a thick yellow and viscous slurry will flow out, and this slurry is a panacea for frostbite. The mulberry mantis that is not dry inside is easy to produce insects and mold, if it is not dried after steaming, it may ferment internally and become smelly, if it is just smelly, you can use scissors to half plan and spray a little alcohol and ventilate to dry.
Only the doctor takes saving the life and helping the life as the merit, and those who are old can push the heart of the intolerable to the things, the heavens have the virtue of good life, the stingrays are the most prosperous, and the ancestors of the great doctors do not tolerate harmful things, so they avoid them. Whoever heals the sick shall be at peace with his mind, without desire or desire, and with a great compassion and compassion, and vow to save the suffering of the spirit. If there is a person who comes to him for help, he shall not ask him whether he is rich or poor, whether he is rich or poor, whether he is old or young, whether he is a good friend or a friend, who is foolish and foolish, who is the same as the thought of his loved ones. Contemptible people hope that the state should now attach importance to the cultivation of medical ethics in shaping higher medical talents. If he is not deceived, perhaps the doctor-patient relationship can be harmonious.
