Mantis Egg-Case (Sang Piao Xiao) Bladder-Steadying Soup
Traditionally taken to support the kidney and steady the bladder
Why people make this soup
Sang piao xiao is one of those curious old herbs — it is the dried egg case of a mantis, often gathered from mulberry trees, and Chinese medicine has long valued it for steadying the bladder. It is traditionally used for postpartum frequent urination and leakage, childhood bed-wetting from low kidney energy, and similar concerns. Nourilo pairs it here with three more kidney-firming foods — Cherokee rose hip, raspberry and fox nut — plus southern jujube to nourish, making a soup aimed at frequent and night-time urination linked to a depleted kidney.
