How to clean golden cicada flowers

Golden cicada flowers have very high therapeutic value. If you usually have poor sleep quality or poor immunity, eating golden cicada flowers can greatly improve the condition. Golden cicada fungus is an entomogenous fungus. Unlike other medicines, its shape is not very regular, which makes it difficult for some users to clean it and they don’t know how to clean it. So, how do you clean the golden cicada flowers? Let’s take a look at the method below.

How to clean the cicada flower: first soften the insect body with cold water, remove the outer coat and hard shell on the insect body, keep the insect body and mycelium and wash them, boil water and take it or soak it in wine.

What are the effects and functions of golden cicada flower

1. Nourishing: The research results reported by Chen Wanqun et al. show that the main components of amino acids in cicada fungus and various cordyceps are similar in type and the content is relatively consistent. Scholars generally recognize that a variety of amino acids are one of the material bases for nourishing and strengthening the body. Pharmacological experiments have shown that the amino acids in cicada fungus and a variety of cordyceps have tonic effects to varying degrees.

2. Anti-fatigue: The water decoction of cicada fungus can significantly prolong the swimming time of experimental mice and significantly increase their survival time under normal pressure hypoxia and high temperature conditions, proving that cicada fungus has anti-fatigue and anti-stress effects.

3. Hypnosis: One hour after administration, the number of autonomous activities of the mice in the cicada fungus group within 10 minutes was significantly less than that in the control group; cicada fungus can also significantly prolong the sleep time of mice and shorten the disappearance time of the righting reflex of sodium pentobarbital; cicada fungus can also increase the sleep rate of mice per unit time. This proves that cicada fungus has a good sedative and hypnotic effect. At the same time, research has shown that artificially cultivated products have similar effects to natural cicada fungi.

4. Labor pain: Cicadae fungi had a significant cooling effect on normal and artificially feverish rats within 2 hours after administration. The results of the writhing method and hot plate method showed that Cicadae fungi had a very significant inhibitory effect on chemical and thermal burning pain in mice. This proves that cicada fungus has a good antipyretic and analgesic effect. This experiment and the experiment conducted by Chen Zhuan et al. both prove that artificially cultivated cicada fungi have the same effect.

5. Immunity: The cicada fungus strain was artificially fermented to produce cicada fungus hyphae, from which cicada fungus polysaccharide was extracted, and Cordyceps sinensis polysaccharide was used as a positive control, and Grifola frondosa polysaccharide was used as a reference test. The mice were subjected to lymphatic transformation test, Ea and E rosette test, specific immune rosette test (macrophage phagocytosis test, anti-sheep red blood cell (SRBC) antibody titer test. The results showed that cicada fungus polysaccharide has a significant effect on improving immune function.
