Mantis seed is a common medicinal material in traditional Chinese medicine, also known as mulberry silkworm cocoon. Due to its many functions and effects, it is used to treat many diseases. In summary, mulberry silkworm cocoons have medicinal value such as reducing urine and stopping leukorrhea, treating nocturnal enuresis in children, treating long-term enuresis in children, treating enuresis caused by spinal cord lesions, strengthening yang and consolidating sperm, and treating male infertility. Next, I will introduce the medicinal value of mantis seeds to you in detail.

1. Reduce urine and stop leucorrhea

The main effect of mulberry silkworm cocoons is to reduce urine. It can treat various excessive urination, incontinence, and enuresis with significant therapeutic effects. For example, if the physiological functions of the elderly decline, they urinate frequently at night, their urine is clear and difficult to defecate, and they sometimes have back pain and weak legs, the silkworm cocoon can be combined with cinnamon, Cistanche deserticola, and Alpinia oxyphylla, which has the effect of warming and strengthening the body, and astringing and reducing urine. The sequelae of nervous system diseases and urinary incontinence are also effectively treated with mulberry silkworm cocoons.

2. Treating children's enuresis

Two to four ingredients can be mixed into decoction, powder or pills, such as mulberry silkworm cocoon combined with Suoquan pills, which is a famous prescription for treating urinary incontinence composed of Alpinia oxyphylla and Atractylodes macrocephala, with animal-based urine-reducing drugs added.

3. Treat children's enuresis that has not been cured for a long time, lack of energy, fatigue, and physical weakness

Mulberry silkworm cocoon is combined with astragalus, cimicifuga, gecko, and honey to make pills. Take three times a day, six grams each time. For those with weak constitution and developmental problems, the combination of mulberry silkworm cocoons and deer antler has a significant strengthening effect and can help children promote development. When silkworm cocoons are combined with deer antlers, their effects in strengthening the body and reducing urine are doubled.

4. Treat enuresis caused by spinal cord lesions

Acute myelitis begins with the shock stage. Due to the transverse injury caused by inflammation, in addition to paralysis, difficulty in controlling urination is common. The course of the disease is long and the effect is slow. The treatment should focus on strengthening yang and strengthening the body. Add mulberry silkworm cocoons, Alpinia oxyphylla, cinnamon bark, aconite root and Psoralea corylifolia to the mixture. This type of drug can enhance the reflex function of spinal nerves.

5. Strengthen Yang and consolidate sperm

Mulberry silkworm cocoons have aphrodisiac effects, but their effects are weaker than other animal aphrodisiacs and their properties are milder. Regular use will not cause dryness or heat. For the treatment of sexual dysfunction, use Morinda officinalis, Cistanche deserticola, Psoralea corylifolia, and Deer antler. If sexual dysfunction and premature ejaculation occur, use mulberry silkworm cocoons in combination with golden cherry and white lotus roots.

6. Treat male infertility

Mulberry silkworm cocoon can be used as an auxiliary medicine. The causes of infertility include decreased sperm count, decreased sperm motility, or sperm deformity. The efficacy of mulberry silkworm cocoon alone is weak, so a compound prescription with the assistance of gecko, Cistanche deserticola, Cuscuta australis, and deer tail can enhance the efficacy. Pills are better than decoctions. Surface of silkworm cocoon

7. Other applications

Remove impurities from the mulberry silkworm cocoons, fry them over low heat until they are crispy, grind them into powder, and apply them externally to drain pus and detoxify. It can also treat children's sores and boils, and treat pus-filled ulcers. After the pus is removed, mix the mulberry silkworm cocoon powder with sesame oil and apply it to the sores to accelerate pus drainage and eliminate swelling and pain. The pus of otitis media is often fishy and smelly. The affected area should be disinfected and the pus removed. Then, an appropriate amount of mulberry silkworm cocoon powder, borneol and borax powder should be blown into the ear canal three times a day.
