Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Mantis Egg Case (Sang Piao Xiao, 桑螵蛸) is a traditional ingredient in Chinese medicine, primarily used for conditions related to urinary and reproductive health, such as incontinence, nocturnal emissions, and frequent urination. Its use for treating or supporting skin infections is not a common or well-documented traditional indication. There are some historical records in traditional Chinese medicine texts that mention its potential to "expel toxins" or "support wound healing," but these references are rare and not central to its traditional use. Furthermore, there is a lack of robust modern scientific research or clinical trials supporting the use of Mantis Egg Case for treating skin infections. The limited traditional evidence and the absence of scientific studies mean that its use for skin infections is not well established or validated. Therefore, while there may be a very minor traditional precedent, it is neither a major historical use nor scientifically supported for this particular condition.
