Basic introduction of cicada molt

Cicada molt, also known as cicada coat, is the shell shed by cicada larvae. Cicada molt has been a premium product since ancient times, and in traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions, some people often specifically point out the use of cicada molt. The shell taken off by the cicada dog is left on the tree, and when people tidy it up, it becomes the precious medicinal herb cicada molt

What are the product features of cicada molt

The cicada molt in Mengcheng is produced in various parts of the county, especially on both sides of the Wohe River. Because both sides of the Wohe River are mostly sandy and have many trees, they are particularly suitable for the growth of grasshoppers and cicadas. In the past, the production of cicada molts in Mengcheng was very large and exported to both domestic and foreign markets, with a high level of popularity. However, due to various factors such as environmental changes, the number of cicadas and grasshoppers is decreasing. The deafening chirping of cicadas that used to be heard every summer is now rare. With fewer cicadas and grasshoppers, there will naturally be fewer cicada molts
