Centipede does not have anti-cancer effects, and a single drug does not have anti-cancer effects.
Centipede has the effects of restraining wind and suppressing spasm, attacking toxins and dispersing knots, and relieving pain (dredging meridians and collaterals to relieve pain), but there is no authoritative evidence proving that centipede has anticancer effects.
Centipede is pungent, warm, poisonous and enters the liver meridian. Clinically, it can be used in conjunction with other medicines for the treatment of pediatric convulsions (a pediatric disease that mainly manifests itself as fainting, twitching, and convulsions), internal movement of liver wind, rheumatism paralysis, spasmodic convulsions, paraplegia (inability of one side of the limb to move at will), and carbuncle diseases.
Centipede can be decocted or powdered and swallowed, and can be applied externally when treating canker sores and poisons.
The adverse effects of centipede are not known and it is contraindicated in pregnant women. The herb needs to be used under the guidance of a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, and should not be taken on its own, so as not to cause any delay in the treatment of the condition, and if there are any relevant symptoms, please consult a doctor promptly.
