Continuing from last article, here are some more insects made into pill or liquid form for your natural and organic medicinal and therapeutic treatments.<\/p>\n

(vi) Caterpillar fungus \u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It has been long in history that the fungi of caterpillars are extracted and used as traditional Chinese medicines and tonics for relieving stress, boosting energy level and even jacking up sex drive.\u00a0 Such preparation is in the form of powder or broth that produces pleasant aroma and savory taste.\u00a0 Moreover, caterpillar fungus is also used in the treatment of various diseases and sicknesses such as anemia, tuberculosis, knee pain, backache, cough, and kidney disease.\u00a0 Its medicamentous value is in the same rank as that of ginseng.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>(vii) Cicadae for diuresis and as Chinese herbs<\/p>\n

Cicadas have been proven in medical studies for curing urinary tract infections.\u00a0 Whenever you have problem or pain in emitting your fluids, just eat some cicadas for your diuretic therapy.\u00a0 Bon app\u00e9tit!\u00a0 In addition, the molted skin of a cicada is used by the Chinese doctors to expel heat and dissipate wind from human body; ergo, it is effective in relieving sore throat, fever and stomach wind.<\/p>\n

(viii) Remedy from cochineal beetle \u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The cactus-feeding cochineal beetles are used by medical scientists to produce a homeopathic remedy known as Coccus Cacti which is useful in treating asthma, whooping cough, catarrh as well as urinary tract infections.\u00a0 The essence is extracted from the beetles and steeped in alcoholic drink and \u2026 there you go \u2026 bottoms up!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>(ix) Green tree ants<\/p>\n

Green tree ants are consumed and used by the Australian aborigines for medicinal and salutary purposes.\u00a0 Green tree ants are particularly useful in curing headaches and relieving colds.\u00a0 In medicine, they are \u201cprocessed\u201d and made into cough suppressant and antiseptic.\u00a0 Their contemporary form of consumption is a refreshing beverage which you can informally call \u201cant drink\u201d.\u00a0 Wonder if these ants have any relation to green tea?<\/p>\n

(x) Miscellaneous insects<\/p>\n

a) Centipedes are crushed and prepared in the form of paste for curing migraine, tetanus and snakebite.<\/p>\n
