Effects of Centipede:

1. Calming Liver Wind and Relieving Spasms: Centipede can unblock meridians and subdue liver wind, thus providing relief for spasms and convulsions caused by internal agitation of liver wind.

2. Detoxifying and Dissolving Nodules: Centipede has detoxifying properties and can be applied externally to treat sores, swelling due to toxins, scrofula with ulceration, and similar conditions.

3. Unblocking Meridians and Alleviating Pain: Centipede is warm in nature and toxic, possessing the ability to unblock meridians and relieve pain. It can be used to treat moving-type arthralgia, heat-type arthralgia, and sinew-related arthralgia, and is particularly effective for arthralgia caused by obstruction from phlegm-turbidity and blood stasis.

Centipede is somewhat toxic; therefore, it must be used cautiously, strictly following a physician's instructions and advice to avoid overdose.
