【Explanations by various scholars】 Ben Jing Feng Yuan: "Raccoons and cats are of the same species but different in nature. Their bones are warm and dispersing, so roasting their bones to ashes is good at dispersing the stagnant qi of yin evil, and is a special medicine for rat fistula, cold and heat. Qian Jin used it to treat wandering wind, Su Song made a recipe to treat rat fistula, Yuan Hua used the skull, and Qian Jin used the penis, which generally means attacking poison and breaking up knots."

【Excerpt】 《*Dictionary》

[Source] From "Bencao Jing Jizhu" 1. "Bencao Tujing": The bones and meat of raccoon dogs are not recorded in "Shennong Bencao Jing" where they come from, but now they are found everywhere. There are many types. Those with tiger stripes are acceptable, while those with cat stripes are not. Skulls should be used for all of them.

In general, the role of raccoon bones is quite significant. Precisely because raccoon bones have relatively good health-preserving effects, the application of raccoon bones in health preservation in daily life can be said to be quite high.
