For people who grew up in the countryside, mantis eggs are familiar, because many people have eaten mantis eggs when they were young. In rural areas, mantis eggs are often used to treat children's bed wetting. In the past, if someone's child wet the bed in the middle of the night, parents would go to the mulberry tree to look for mantis eggs. Generally, mantis eggs are directly roasted with fire after being picked, and can be eaten directly after being golden. Mantis eggs are rich in protein and delicious. But some children can't eat it, or they can grind it into powder and drink it with water. At that time, in the countryside, it was very effective for children who wet the bed in the middle of the night. Basically, just eat it a few times.
The so-called mantis egg is actually the mulberry sheath in Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that only mantis eggs laid on mulberry trees have better medicinal value. In China's medical theory, in many cases, the silkworm cocoon of mulberry, that is, mantis eggs, has the function of consolidating essence and reducing stool. Only when mantis eggs are born on mulberry trees can they have greater medicinal effects. If mantis eggs don't grow on mulberry trees, then a little mulberry bark will be added when making medicine. Because mulberry has the function of guiding water, it can enter the kidney meridian, and has the functions of consolidating essence and tonifying kidney and reducing frequent urination. Nowadays, with the development of modern medicine, the use of mantis eggs in rural areas is not as common as before. But many young people don't know this thing, and even if they do, they dare not give it to their children easily. It is also because with the change of environment, the number of mantis is not as much as before, and things are vaguely expensive, so its price has also skyrocketed in the market.
