Eupolyphaga

Ingredient Profile

Chinese Name土鳖虫
PinyinTu Bie Chong

Modern Research Perspective

Eupolyphaga contains proteins, peptides, lipids, and other insect-derived constituents. Experimental studies have explored wound, bone, anticoagulant, and anti-inflammatory directions, but evidence is mainly preclinical and preparation-dependent.

Human clinical evidence is limited. Allergy, contamination, infection control, bleeding risk, interactions, ethical sourcing, and long-term safety require rigorous evaluation.

Traditional Function

Eupolyphaga is traditionally salty and cold. It is used to break blood stasis, disperse masses, and support recovery from traumatic injury in selected patterns. Its animal source and processing are part of medicinal identity.
