According to statistics, there are 859 species of locusts in the Acrididae family, but mainly two are suitable for both medicine and food: the Oriental migratory locust and the Chinese rice grasshopper.

According to the books *Research on Migratory Locusts* and *The Feeding Value of Migratory Locusts*, locusts are high in protein, carbohydrates, insect hormones, and other active substances, and contain vitamins A, B, C, as well as trace elements such as phosphorus, calcium, iron, zinc, and manganese. Locusts are not only a delicious delicacy, but also an effective remedy for various ailments. They have the effects of warming the stomach, supporting yang, strengthening the spleen, aiding digestion, dispelling wind, and relieving cough. *Compendium of Materia Medica* records that locusts—used alone or in combination—can treat a variety of diseases, such as tetanus, infantile convulsions, fever, asthma relief, blood stasis swelling, cormorant plague, frostbite, tracheitis, and the prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. They can be decocted and taken as a soup (ten locusts at a time), or stir-fried until crisp, ground into powder, and taken orally (five locusts per dose). For frostbite, the stir-fried and crushed locusts can be mixed with fragrant oil and applied to the affected area.
