"tongue pills", "Ji Desheng snake medicine" and "toad crisp pills" all contain the ingredients of toads. There are dozens of proprietary Chinese medicines made from toads in China.

2. The medicinal value of toad clothes.

Toad clothing is a new animal drug newly excavated from the folk, and it is a naturally exfoliated cuticular membrane. There is no record of natural exfoliation in zoology and related literature of Materia Medica and modern pharmacy. But its original animal, toad, is used for medicinal purposes. The clinical application of Bufo Bufo garments has shown a good effect on chronic liver disease, a variety of cancers, chronic tracheitis, ascites, poison treatment, sore carbuncle and so on.

Toads, like frogs, are also important and beneficial animals, devouring a large number of harmful insects every day, but not dead animal carcasses. According to an observation and statistics on the feeding of toads in a corn drying farm, a toad swallowed 15 flies in an hour, and its ability is not what we usually see in the lazy slow motion of toads. Thus it can be seen that toads play a positive role in eliminating agricultural pests, protecting environmental hygiene and reducing the source of infection. The dried toad skin of traditional Chinese medicine must be obtained after killing toads, which is contradictory to the protection of beneficial animals. if we can further promote the application of toad clothes to treat diseases, it can not only meet the needs of medicine, but also protect the needs of toads and the environment. Protect the ecological balance. Therefore, the active study of the medicinal resources of Bufonis is of great significance to increase the economic income of farmers and protect the environment.
