What are the medicinal values ​​of toad skin?

Toad skin is actually the keratinous membrane that the Chinese giant toad sheds periodically. This thing seems to be useless, but in traditional Chinese medicine it is a very good medicinal ingredient for treating diseases. The reason why traditional Chinese medicine has a good therapeutic effect in treating many diseases has a lot to do with the targeted medicinal properties of the drugs. So what are the medicinal values ​​of toad skin? Let us give you a detailed introduction below.

Toads also shed their shells during their growth and development, just like snakes and cicadas. The shell shed by toads is commonly known as toad shell, also known as toad molt or toad clothes. Toads often swallow the shell immediately after shedding their skin, so this creature is very difficult to find. Toad molt is not included in the herbal books and Chinese medical classics of all dynasties, but it is said among the people that toad molt is pungent, cool and slightly toxic. It has the functions of clearing away heat and detoxifying, relieving inflammation and pain, reducing swelling and promoting diuresis, and is effective for many difficult and complicated diseases. Toad skin is a pure natural product without any impurities that is shed by wild toads in nature through artificial supervision.

Toad skin is a new animal medicine newly discovered from folk sources. It is the keratin membrane naturally shed by toads. A search of zoological, herbal and modern pharmaceutical literature revealed no record of toads molting naturally. But the entire body of the original animal, the toad, can be used for medicinal purposes. According to the inspection report of Shanghai Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, toad skin contains toad venom lactone, arsenic salt, etc., suggesting its medicinal value. The preliminary clinical application of toad skin has shown good therapeutic effects on chronic liver disease, various cancers, chronic bronchitis, ascites, carbuncle, sores, etc. If its medicinal value can be further confirmed and quality standards for medicinal materials can be formulated, so that it can truly become a good new medicinal resource and enter the medicinal material commodity circulation market, it will definitely benefit the people and play a positive role in disease prevention and treatment.

After years of toad breeding practice, we have discovered the molting habits of toads during their growth process and mastered a set of techniques for collecting toad skins. This adds medicinal parts to the medicinal animal toad and fills the gap in the research on the biological learning properties of toads. According to a new search conducted by relevant new search units, the technology for collecting toad skin is at the leading level in the country. This not only added a new good medicine to my country's treasure house of traditional Chinese medicine, but also changed my country's history of making medicine by killing toads and taking their skins, and made a contribution to the protection of wild resources in my country.

The medicinal value of toad skin is the aspects introduced above. In normal times, if you have some diseases that can be treated with toad skin, you can choose to use it according to your needs. If taken together with other medicines, the effect of treating the disease will be better. It is best to use it safely under the guidance of a doctor.
