The efficacy and function of horseshoe crab gall

With the development of society and the close international exchanges, most people who study medicine have been seriously influenced by Western medicine, and fewer and fewer people are studying Chinese medicine, which has resulted in less and less understanding of Chinese medicine. Let’s talk about the effects and functions of horseshoe crab bile, a traditional Chinese medicine.

[Other name] Horseshoe crab gallbladder (Shengji Zonglu).

[Source] It is the gallbladder or bile of the eastern horseshoe crab of the family Limulidae.

【Function】 "Compendium of Materia Medica": "It can cure severe leprosy and kill insects."

【Usage and Dosage】 For oral administration: in powder form.

[Additional prescription] For treating leprosy: half a liang each of horseshoe crab gall, raw white alum, raw green alum, greasy powder, mercury and musk. Grind the above six ingredients together finely, adding a little water from time to time, until only a few dots of mercury are removed. Take one to two spoonfuls of the medicine each time, mixed with well water on an empty stomach. Do not move until noon, and take another dose on an empty stomach. It means the medicine is effective if you cough up thick mucus or discharge five-colored poisonous saliva. It can be taken three times within a month. If saliva comes out from the gums and between the teeth, it means that the disease has healed. The dosage should be adjusted according to the individual's physical condition.
