Mantis Egg-Case Quality and Origin.:
Qualities: The egg casing of the Preying Mantis is a very useful Kidney/Liver tonic use primarily to conserve essence while building Yang. It is one of the Kidney Yang herbs most suitable and beneficial to women. It is often found in women's formulas where Kidney Yang is deficient manifesting in sluggishness, obesity, low sexual drive, infertility and premature aging. Many women claim that Mantis Egg Case is a female sexual stimulant.
Origin:
This is the egg case (Ootheca) of paratenodera sinensis Saussure and Statieia maculata Thunb., or mantis religiosa L., or Hlerodula patellifera Serville of the family Mantidae.
Mantis refers to any of various predatory long-bodied large-eyed insects of the family Mantidae, primarily tropical but including a few temperate zone species, usually pale green and having two pairs of walking legs and powerful grasping forelimbs. The mantis feeds on live insects, including others of its own kind.
Although the female mantis has the habit of eating the male after mating, its name suggests a more benign activity. Mantis is from the Greek word mantis, meaning prophet, seer.The Greeks, who made the connection between the upraised front legs of a mantis waiting for its prey and the hands of a prophet in prayer, used the name mantis to mean "the praying mantis."This word and sense were picked up in modern Latin and from there came into English, being first recorded in 1658. Once we know the origin of the term mantis, we realize that the species names praying mantis and Mantis religiosa are a bit redundant.
Egg-case of mantis has been used by the Chinese as an astringent drug for hundreds of years. Mantis is produced in most parts of China. From the late autumn to the spring of the following year, it is collected after removal of the twigs and soil. The died ovum, killed by placing in the boiled water or steaming, is dried in the sunlight. It can be used unprepared or cut into pieces before frying for later use.
