Hello: The soft-shelled turtle is also known as the ground turtle, soft-shelled turtle, gold-bordered soft-shelled turtle, and the 簸箕虫. Chinese medicine believes that it has the effect of breaking blood and removing blood stasis and renewing the tendons and bones. It is used for bruises, fractures, blood stasis and menstrual closure, postpartum stasis and abdominal pain, and addiction to obstruction and lumps. However, as you said, "eating about ten live earthworms a day" is really not desirable!
