What is cat's claw? What is its Chinese medicine name and medicinal value?

Cat's claw is a herb with great medicinal value in rural areas . It has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, strengthening the stomach, reducing acid and sweating. If rural people have headaches and dizziness in summer, they will pick some cat's claw and boil it in water, which will have a very good effect. When vomiting acid water, eating some raw cat's claw can also have a good relieving effect.

In the past, this wild grass was often picked and eaten, but later as living standards improved, the number of people eating it gradually decreased, and later, it was gradually regarded as a weed by rural people.

Now, we have found that this weed contains a lot of nutrients, and also contains a lot of useful substances needed by the human body. It is a pure natural wild vegetable and is loved by everyone. Nowadays, people in rural areas collect cat's claw grass vegetables and sell them in the city. They can sell them for 15-20 yuan per catty. More farmers are willing to pick these wild vegetables themselves and sell them in the market, so that they can sell them at a good price and earn some pocket money.

Cat's claw is delicious, with a strong gamey flavor and delicate aroma. Now, many rural people like to eat it. The roots and stems of cat's claw can be eaten, but when the leaves unfold, they are not delicious.

It is delicious whether it is eaten hot or cold. Freshly picked cat's claw vegetables should be washed with boiling water to remove the stickiness and earthy smell on the surface, and then used to scramble eggs or meat, which is very delicious. If you want to eat cat's claw grass all year round, people in rural areas will dry it, boil fresh cat's claw vegetables with boiling water, and then dry it.

In rural areas, cat's claw is usually used by the elderly as a folk remedy. If you buy it at the market, be careful that it is best to soak it in boiling water for a period of time before eating.
