Spicy escargot

Overview

Field snails, also known as sweet snails, usually live in ponds, paddy fields, streams or ditches. The snail is also a medicinal animal. According to records, snail meat is sweet in taste and cold in nature, and has the effects of clearing heat, improving eyesight, diuresis, and treating stranguria. "Compendium of Materia Medica" says that field snails can relieve dampness and clear away heat, quench thirst and sober up, facilitate defecation, and cure athlete's foot and jaundice. According to folklore, field snails have the effects of clearing away dampness and heat and promoting urination, and are often used to treat poor urination, jaundice, otitis media, and hemorrhoids. However, because snails are cold in nature, people with spleen and stomach deficiency should not eat more.
