Eupolyphaga sinensis, commonly known as "Chinese beetle," is a medicinal insect used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Its primary traditional functions are to promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and reduce swelling. There is some historical use of Eupolyphaga sinensis in the context of wound healing and swelling, which are related to its purported abilities in resolving stasis and promoting tissue repair. However, the direct use of Eupolyphaga sinensis for treating or supporting canker sores (aphthous ulcers) is not well documented in classical TCM texts or mainstream TCM practice. The association, if present, is likely extrapolated from its general application in healing ulcers and sores due to blood stasis. There is a notable lack of modern scientific studies specifically evaluating Eupolyphaga sinensis for the treatment of canker sores. Thus, its use for this condition is justified primarily by tradition rather than clinical or experimental evidence, and even in tradition, such use is at best indirect or inferred rather than explicit and well-established.
