I know this. I just read an article a few days ago: Cockroaches can be used as medicine. But not all cockroaches can be used as medicine.

Cockroaches that can be used as medicine usually refer to American cockroaches, Australian cockroaches, and Oriental cockroaches of the genus Periplaneta in the family Blattidae. These cockroaches can be used as medicine in their entirety.

Medicinal cockroach has cold properties and a slightly salty taste. It returns to the spleen, liver and kidney meridian. It can detoxify and eliminate malnutrition (removing toxins and eliminating malnutrition), promoting blood circulation and dispersing blood stasis. Use it to decoct or grind it. When taken orally, it is effective for infantile malnutrition (chronic disease in children, manifested by weight loss, abnormal diet, abdominal distension, sparse and yellow hair, etc.), mass accumulation (tangible or invisible lumps in the abdomen, with a feeling of swelling and pain) and other diseases.

Crushing Chinese medicine cockroaches and applying them externally can also treat boils and nameless swelling and pain.
