So disgusting! This thing is full of small insects but it can cure oral ulcers in a second

In the 1980s and 1990s, rural children had few toys and often played in groups of three or five in the fields. Climbing trees to catch beetles and cicadas is the most popular game. You can often come across ball-like leaves on the trees. Out of curiosity, children like to pick them and play with them. After squeezing open the balls, there are many small insects inside. When I was a child, I always thought that the leaves were sick, so I crushed them and threw them away.

After studying Chinese medicine, I learned in a Chinese medicine class that this thing is a very good Chinese medicine. Its scientific name is Galla chinensis, also known as clam because there are hundreds of small insects inside it. It is also called the "hundred insect warehouse". It is formed by many aphids parasitizing the leaves of Rhus chinensis. Because of its sour and astringent taste, it is an astringent and firming Chinese medicine. It has the functions of astringing and stopping sweating, consolidating semen and stopping nocturnal emission, astringing the intestines and stopping diarrhea, astringing sores, and astringing the lungs and stopping coughs. It is often used to treat spontaneous sweating, night sweats, spermatorrhea, long-term diarrhea, hemorrhoidal bleeding, chronic cough and difficult-to-heal sores.

Gallnut is a commonly used Chinese medicine. Most people who practice Chinese medicine know that gallnut has the above effects. However, few people know that gallnut can be used to treat oral ulcers, and there are only a few books such as "Bencao Yanyi" in ancient Chinese medicine monographs that have related records. Oral ulcer is a common disease and almost everyone has the painful experience of being tortured by it.

The most unbearable symptom of oral ulcers is pain, which seriously affects eating. The biggest benefit of using gallnut to treat oral ulcers is that it can quickly relieve pain, and the method is simple, all you need to do is gargle. Take 15-30g of Gallnut, decoct it in water and concentrate it into 200ml, then gargle 3-5 times a day.

The author often uses this method on patients with oral ulcers, with significant therapeutic effects. It also has a good analgesic effect on patients with toothache. The principle of gallnut pain relief is that it contains tannic acid, which can astringe sores. Although gallnut can quickly relieve the patient's pain, it is still necessary to use dialectical medicine based on the patient's cold, heat, deficiency and excess in order to achieve the effect of treating both the symptoms and the root cause.
