363. Earthworm
A familiar taste, a bowl of meat soup with a slight fishy smell. Taking a bite of earthworm meat, tasting the “Wandering Earth” on the tip of the tongue, actually not bad. The processed slices from the tablet factory are quite clean, with a chewy texture. After seasoning, it should be able to be made into a flavor similar to spicy squid strips.
After drinking, the chest starts to open up, then the energy flows upward to the head and face, downward to the liver flank, lower abdomen, knees and feet — a pillar of energy with a diameter comparable to the human torso, directly opening the qi and blood circulation. During this process, it slightly stimulates qi and blood, and patients with uneven qi and blood distribution may experience hot flashes, itching, or coughing.
Efficacy: Promotes qi movement, activates blood, and unblocks the collaterals.
364. Scorpion
The water brewed is mainly salty, related to the processing method. Eating it directly is not salty, with a decent texture. The meat is not little; fried cicadas that regain moisture are almost of this flavor, with a slightly pungent taste, possibly related to being stored for a few months.
After drinking, the qi around the torso gathers towards the midline, then ascends towards the head. The energy is much more concentrated than earthworm, with 80% flowing upward and only 20% descending directly to the lower abdomen.
Efficacy: Promotes qi movement, activates blood, unblocks the collaterals; the part reaching the lower abdomen, combined with earthworm, has some effect on organic erectile dysfunction. But if you ask me, for erectile dysfunction, better not to treat it — sacrificing some function fits well with spiritual practice.
365. Centipede
Floral and fresh tea fragrance, no distinct insect smell when not carefully tasted, like overnight jasmine tea with a bit of MSG added.
Chewing a segment directly, very overpowering. I chewed on the left side of the mouth; the left side of the head and face (especially the ears and back of the head), as well as the outer and rear side of the shoulder and thoracic cavity immediately went numb. Then chewing on the right side caused numbness there as well — it’s spot-targeted; those not sensitive to medicinal qi can try centipede, it’s specialized for immunity. After chewing the teeth feel a bit astringent, like the feeling when eating drunken crab where the crab roe sticks to the teeth.
The feeling is not as obvious after drinking, so while earthworm and scorpion could still be taken with some negotiation, centipede must be chewed by the patient, otherwise most of its efficacy is lost.
On closer appreciation, the centipede soup’s effects mainly focus on the head, face, and back, with a still acceptable degree of qi penetration.
Efficacy: Promotes qi movement, activates blood, unblocks the collaterals. For headache on one side, chew with the same side of the mouth — many classical medicinal substances are used this way, the path to redemption lies within.
