Combinaciones

Notas

  • It is among the most effective substances for extinguishing Wind.
  • It penetrates into the muscles and bones to expel pathogenic factors, remove Dampness, and dispel pathogenic Wind.
  • Venom extracted from the tail is used in cancer treatment.
  • It treats stroke, Wind-Stroke, epilepsy, and Wind-Damp Bi pain, and is also effective for stubborn headaches.
  • Its toxic side effects include respiratory paralysis, tonic spasms of the limbs, and drooling.
  • For toxic sores it works on the principle of "using poison to treat poison".
  • Traditionally the tail alone was used for tetany, acute febrile disease and convulsions, while the whole animal was reserved for hemiplegia; today the whole animal is commonly used across all these indications.
  • It is regarded as a good preventive remedy for childhood disorders.
  • Although toxic, it produces far less toxicity when taken orally than when its sting is delivered.
  • Despite being avoided in pregnancy, it is considered safe enough for infants, which has historically been one of its main uses.
  • As a powder used on its own, it can be applied topically for mastitis.
  • It treats Liver and Colon cancers.
  • Two deep-fried scorpions eaten as food are used for mumps.
  • Quan Xie, Bombyx Batryticatus Jiang Can, and Scolopendra Wu Gong all dispel Wind and stop spasms, and severe cases often call for combining them. Jiang Can is mainly indicated for Phlegm-Heat; Wu Gong, pungent and warm, is the strongest of the three and best suited to Wind-Cold; Quan Xie, pungent and neutral, is better matched to Heat.
  • Quan Xie and Rz. Typhonii Preparatum Zhi Bai Fu Zi both expel Wind and stop spasms, are applied externally for conditions such as scrofula, and are combined to treat facial paralysis, tetanus, and convulsions. Quan Xie is the stronger of the two at expelling Wind to stop spasms and convulsions, and is used externally for sores and toxic swellings. Zhi Bai Fu Zi, acrid, warm, strongly drying, and ascending/dispersing in nature, is particularly indicated for pathogenic Wind-Phlegm affecting the face and head — facial paralysis, hemiplegia, scrofula, migraines, and other severe lateral headaches — and can also address Wind-stroke where profuse Phlegm collects in the throat and impairs speech; it is likewise applied to skin conditions such as chloasma.
