Bombyx Batryticatus

Silkworm is a medicinal material made from insect bodies through fungal bio-fermentation. Its core functions are “dispelling wind, stopping spasms, and dispersing nodules”. It is especially good at treating infantile convulsions and various head and facial diseases caused by wind-heat.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is used to relieve wind and spasms, dispel wind and relieve pain, and resolve phlegm and nodules. It is commonly used to treat infantile convulsions, wind-heat headaches, sore throats, and skin rashes. The surface of the herb is covered with white mycelium, and it is hard and brittle, easily broken.
