"Compendium of Materia Medica" says: "Foreign insects went abroad and were introduced to China at the end of the Ming Dynasty. ..... This thing is shaped like a rice ribbon, a newborn ant, such as a young silkworm, which turns black after a long time, such as a watercress, and it is male and female. Today, people feed it with bamboo tubes, and it is extremely cold. It must be hidden in the arms of the arms in cold weather, and it is placed in the clothes room at night. When it comes to Buddhism, some people are fed with poria cocos and safflower, and those who are handed over to the end of Guangxi are red and shiny, which is especially good for medicine. " There must be a long-lived old man who sees this insect infesting for hundreds of miles.
Nine dragons have the effects of warming the middle warmer, regulating qi, promoting blood circulation to relieve pain, expelling wind and removing dampness, etc. They are mainly used for treating stomachache, abdominal distension, vomiting and diarrhea, traumatic injury, hemiplegia, limb paralysis, cough due to strain, irregular menstruation, leucorrhea with red and white discharge, etc. In addition, the research shows that there are a lot of unsaturated fatty acids, palmitic acid, linoleic acid and oleic acid in the body of Nine Dragons, among which unsaturated fatty acids are widely used in clinic, especially in skin care and beauty, hyperlipidemia and malignant tumors, which has attracted great attention, but no related pharmacological effects have been reported yet.
The most suitable temperature for modern breeding of nine dragons is 20-35 degrees. If it is cold in winter, it can be raised in a foam box, leaving pores. It is best to have heating equipment, such as light bulbs, heating, air conditioning, etc.
In the Dictionary of Traditional Chinese Medicine 1977 edition, it is recorded that peanuts, lotus seeds, longan, red dates, Eucommia ulmoides, safflower, betel nut and walnut meat are used for feeding. Used for invigorating qi and nourishing blood. It has the functions of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, warming the middle warmer and regulating qi, and can also treat nameless swelling and toxin. Feeding with safflower, jujube and walnut can enhance the medicinal properties of foreign insects, promote the full absorption and utilization of human body, adjust the balance of yin and yang of hematopoietic organs, and achieve the effects of tonifying kidney, replenishing essence, invigorating spleen, nourishing blood, cooling serum, removing heat and toxic materials, promoting qi circulation, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. The worm can treat myelodysplastic anemia, secondary anemia, thrombocytopenia, platelet dysfunction diseases, coagulation factor deficiency, etc., with excellent curative effect, effective rate, remission rate of 100% and cure rate of over 85%. Treatment of leukemia also has a certain effect, which can improve the remission rate of leukemia and prolong the survival period. By-products of foreign insects, such as insect dung, insect skin and other impurities or metabolites, have the functions of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, reducing swelling and relieving pain; It has remarkable effects on treating subcutaneous congestion and swelling caused by contusion and sprain. In recent years, studies have shown that foreign worms also have a good anti-aging effect.
In the treatment of tumors, the use of chemotherapy drugs at the same time, the application of foreign worms, can improve the body's immune function, reduce the toxic side effects of chemotherapy drugs, and also have a certain synergistic effect. Insect can reduce the toxic and side effects of cyclophosphamide, and has a significant protective effect on immune organ atrophy, leukopenia and weight loss caused by cyclophosphamide, and has enhanced the inhibitory effect on tumors.
The whole growth and reproduction process includes four stages: egg stage (3-4 days), larval stage (25-30 days), pupal stage (4-7 days) and adult stage (50-60 days), and it belongs to a completely metamorphosed insect. The suitable temperature is 20-35. If the winter temperature is lower than10, it will enter the hibernation period and prolong the growth cycle, which is unfavorable to the yield. The whole life cycle of this insect is about100-130 days.
Daily feeding mainly includes fresh orange peel, walnut, carrot, jujube and peanut. This insect has strong fecundity, and each female adult can lay about180-380 eggs in her life.
Instructions for eating: 1 can be eaten by infants over one year old to the elderly.

Medicinal range

Indications: cough due to strain, vomiting blood, paralysis due to apoplexy, traumatic injury, liver and stomach gas pain, nausea, choking diaphragm, anti-cancer and anti-aging.
pharmacological action
edit
The worm may contain fat-soluble components for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, which can significantly prolong the clotting time. The worm contains a large number of unsaturated fatty acids palmitic acid, linoleic acid and oleic acid. Unsaturated fatty acids are widely used in clinic, especially in skin care and beauty, hyperlipidemia and malignant tumors. Linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid for human body, is an essential prerequisite for the synthesis of prostaglandin, which can be converted into prostaglandin. Prostaglandin is a hormone-like substance, and a very small amount of prostaglandin can produce obvious physiological activity, which can regulate human blood pressure and promote metabolism.
It was recorded in ancient books in China and later introduced to Japan. It was widely spread and enjoyed by the Japanese royal family and nobles, and was honored as "immortal worm" and "longevity health worm", which was introduced to Germany after World War II. At the end of 2003, the insect and its feed formula were introduced into China from the Japanese royal family.
This insect is named because it is rich in anticancer substances-antibacterial peptides, exogenous lectins and immune proteins, and most of the more than ten kinds of precious Chinese herbal medicines have anticancer and anticancer effects.
Artificial breeding

The whole growth and reproduction process of Nine Dragons can be divided into four stages: egg stage (3-4 days), larval stage (25-30 days), pupal stage (4-7 days) and adult stage (50-60 days), and it belongs to a completely metamorphosed insect. The whole life cycle of this insect is about100-130 days. In order to keep them breeding at this rate all year round, he humidified and heated the farm to keep the temperature at about 30 degrees Celsius.
Nowadays, this dragon worm is known by more and more people. The government and medical departments have also carried out relevant research on the nine dragons, and some pharmaceutical companies have begun to order the nine dragons and develop their health products. The prospect of nine dragons is very promising. And decided to increase the scale of farming.
However, for beginners, the market of the nine dragons is still quite chaotic. In 2009, the price of the nine dragons was more than one 1 yuan, but now the retail price of the nine dragons is 20 cents. Among them, the main reason for such a big price gap is the proliferation of fake nine dragons, which has greatly affected the original market. Because the nine dragons are all fed with precious Chinese herbal medicines, if the price is very low, most of them are fake insects.
The worm has a preference for feed, and likes to eat sweet food. Jujube is its favorite food, followed by fresh orange peel (which can greatly supplement the water of Kowloon worm and is not afraid of being dried to death), and can also be fed with Ganoderma lucidum tablets, ginseng, Eucommia ulmoides, safflower, lotus seeds, walnuts, medlar and so on. Feeds fed by breeders can be fed in small amounts except red dates and fresh orange peels. However, it is worthwhile to watch the whole process of foreign insects from eggs to larvae to pupae, finally to adults, and then to mating and spawning. You don't need to use wooden trays or plastic boxes to raise a small amount of foreign insects for enjoyment. You can use clean glass bottles, and the bottle caps are tied with gauze or plastic yarn. Ventilation is not a problem, and the glass bottles are transparent and easy to observe and enjoy.
Feeding this little thing, it is best to use a small transparent glass bottle, which is stuffed with cotton and fed with red dates, coix seeds, peanuts and other foods. Foreign insects are afraid of the cold, so they must be cold-proof and warm. They should be carried in their arms during the day and put into bed at night, which is as careless as the ancestors. Therefore, everyone who has fed foreign worms knows that this is not as smooth as feeding silkworm eggs. Most of them are fed to death one by one in a few days. When foreign insects die, they are naturally abandoned as waste.
Living habits: Adults like to eat Ganoderma lucidum, dried yam slices, sugary red dates, orange peel or grapefruit peel with water and red lotus seeds. Larvae like red lotus seeds as much as adults and orange peel with water. If you look closely, there will be some small larvae on each red lotus seed and orange peel.

One of the only manuscripts handed down from ancient times by Ren Xigeng, the last imperial doctor in the Qing Dynasty, was the Records of Nine Dragons, which recorded the wonderful medicine named Nine Dragons blindly and Ren Xigeng's research experience on it. It was amazing.
According to the records in the book, the dragon worm was introduced into China from Nanyang blindly, and it has no curative effect. However, if it is mixed with other drugs, it will double the curative effect of other drugs, but there are also some incompatibility. The usage and taboos of Nine Dragons are described in detail in Records of Nine Dragons, among which many prescriptions that Ren Xigeng thinks are the most suitable for adding Nine Dragons.
