What is the use of pig toenails? what are pig fingernails used for?

Abstract: what is the use of pig toenails and what are they used to buy pig nails?

When I was a child, my family would raise a few pigs, and every year around the Spring Festival, the family would start selling pigs, and eventually I would leave one of my own to be bought by the butcher and the neighbors, and save it for the Spring Festival. At that time, when I was still young, I wouldn't let children come near me every time I killed a pig.

I remember that at that time, no one specially came to collect this kind of pig fingernails. it was usually the father who cooked meat dishes at home. I remember that at that time, the butcher often ignored the fingernails on the pig's feet, and every time he made the pig's feet, his father scalded them with hot water. Wait a while before you can use pliers to remove the pig's fingernails. However, the forceps of pig fingernails are not specially collected, most of them are thrown away, and sometimes children are curious to play, but the smell is not very good.

Later, I remember to hear the neighbors say that pig's toenails are dried in the sun, and then burned to ashes, which can treat frostbite. The neighbor's aunt is the kind of person who often has frostbite and often tries various folk remedies. I remember that my mother told my aunt that sesame flowers could cure frostbite, and later our mother of pig fingernails specially packed up and sent them to my aunt. But it is not clear whether it will work or not.

What is the use of pig fingernails?

Because we don't raise a lot of pigs there, we usually raise a few pigs of our own family. Now there are even fewer people raising pigs, because the smell is bad and dirty, the labor force at home is generally out to work, and now there are few pig farmers at home. So I've never heard of anyone who specializes in collecting pig nails.

Because of curiosity, I also searched the Internet about the price of pig toenails and found that there were still many merchants selling this kind of pig toenails, and the price was not as expensive as I imagined, about 20 yuan per jin. At this price, it seems that the acquisition of pig hoof should be relatively easy, personally think that there should be not many acquisitions in rural areas, most of the buyers should go to the slaughterhouse to buy.

In fact, pig hoof is not a very magical thing, but has a certain medicinal value, and it is precisely this certain medicinal value that some people will buy pig hoof. The main function of pig hoof beetle is to resolve phlegm and asthma, detoxify and invigorate muscles, in fact, this is not a particularly outstanding effect in traditional Chinese medicine, and because it is relatively easy to get, so the price will not be too expensive.
