Dung Beetle Bug, also known as Dung Beetle, is a medicinal herb that is effective in breaking up blood stasis, settling convulsions, clearing the bowels and attacking toxins, and can be used to treat epilepsy, abdominal distension and constipation, malignant sores, and choking, hiccuping and regurgitating stomach.
Dung Beetle is cold and salty in nature, and enters the liver, stomach and large intestine meridians. In the Compendium, this medicine can be pounded and boiled to drink, which can be used to break blood stasis and calm convulsions, and to treat children’s convulsions (a pediatric disease that mainly manifests itself in dizziness, convulsions, and seizures). Dung Beetle Worm also has the effects of calming chagrin and killing mucus. It is able to play a role in treating urinary stones and viscous chagas. It should not be used by people with cold spleen and stomach and pregnant women.
Dung Beetle Bugs are used in conjunction with Shih Gou and Tiger Eye Bark to treat abdominal distension and constipation. Combining dung beetle with ground cow, dung beetle, white tangerine peel and croton can cure diaphragmatic gas and vomiting.
This medicine has a certain degree of toxicity and should not be used indiscriminately. It must be guided by a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, and should not be used privately, so as not to cause damage to the organism.
