Menglian Cattle Gallstone

Menglian Cattle Gallstone

　　Cattle gallstone refers to the gallbladder stone of bovine animals such as yellow cattle or water buffalo. Cattle gallstone (Calculus bovis), also known as Choubao. This product is the dried gallstone of the bovine animal Bos taurus domesticus Gmelin. An intact cattle gallstone is mostly oval in shape, lightweight, with a surface that is golden to yellowish-brown, fine and lustrous. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cattle gallstone has a delicate fragrance, a slightly bitter taste followed by sweetness, and a cool nature. It can be used to reduce fever, detoxify, and calm convulsions. Taken internally, it treats high fever with loss of consciousness, mania, infantile convulsions, and spasms. Used externally, it treats sore throat, mouth ulcers, boils, and toxic swellings. Since natural cattle gallstones are very precious and command a higher international price than gold, most of what is used today is so-called artificial cattle gallstone.
