The earthworm market price of 20-25 yuan a catty, this is only the price of ordinary earthworm, like the price of the gold-rimmed earthworm are in the 60-100 yuan a catty or so, usually sold dried. Different areas of the price will be a little different. Things are more expensive than they are rare, and the gold-rimmed earthworm is more difficult to raise than the ordinary earthworm, so the production is less, and naturally it is more expensive.

The earthworm has the effect of activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, reducing swelling and relieving pain. It contains proteins, amino acids, fats, fatty acids, fat-soluble vitamins and other nutrients needed by the human body. Ground soft-shelled turtle has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine, and almost all famous pharmacopoeias have a clear record of it, such as China's first book of medicines, Shennong Ben Cao Jing (The Classic of the Materia Medica of Shennong) in the Han Dynasty, the famous Eastern Han Dynasty physician Zhang Zhongjing's The Essentials of the Golden Chamber, and Li Shizhen's Materia Medica (Compendium of Materia Medica) in the Ming Dynasty. Ground turtle worm mainly contains protein, amino acids, fat, fatty acids, mineral elements, fat-soluble vitamins and other nutrients, because it has the effect of breaking blood stasis and renewing the muscles and bones, so it is mainly used for the treatment of muscle and bone fracture, blood stasis and menstruation, etc.
