When we look up and learn about cuttlebone online or through other channels, another word often comes to our eyes, that is cuttlebone. Presumably, many people will think that ootheca mantidis and ootheca mantidis must be "relatives". In fact, although the name is only one word short, there is a world of difference between cuttlebone and cuttlebone.

First of all, cuttlebone and cuttlebone have different origins. Cuttlebone is made from the inner shell of cuttlefish produced in the sea. Ootheca mantidis is the egg sheath of broadsword beetle, belonging to insects.

Second, the shape of the cuttlebone is different from that of the cuttlebone. Most cuttlebone is long and narrow, and feels like a shell, so it is smooth and hard. However, the egg sheath is round, similar to cocoon, and its surface is rough, dry and soft.

Third, the distribution of cuttlebone is different from that of cuttlebone. Most cuttlebone grows in tropical areas overseas and lives on the seabed. Ootheca mantidis are mainly distributed in tropical and subtropical flora, and are generally found in leeward shrubs.

Finally, cuttlebone and cuttlebone have different functions and indications. The main function of cuttlebone is to eliminate dampness and make acid, stop bleeding and heal sores, and it is used to treat stomachache, acid swallowing, hematemesis and hematochezia, traumatic hemorrhage, etc. Ootheca mantidis is mainly used to treat kidney deficiency, frequent micturition and urinary incontinence.
