The literature of "Ben Cao Bei Yao" (The essential notes of materia medica) (Wang, 1694) and "Ben Cao Feng Yuan" (The medicinal herbs in the wild) (Zhang, 1695) of the Qing dynasty show evidence that the ancient Chinese had belief that the Bird Spit Soup  did have some therapeutic effects and were used to cure disease. In the years 1757 to 1871, many scholars and experts had discussed in their literatures in details the transformation of the Bird Spit Soup from an expensive food to a precious medicine.
Prof. Kong further indicated that, according to Chinese literature, the Bird Spit Soup does have
obvious healing effects to poststage tuberculosis, gastric ulcers and bleeding of the lung.
Beside, it can promote growth.
The Bird Spit Soup also can replenish strength and vital energy, accelerate the recovery from
disease /illness, and reinforce immunity. The specific animal proteins in an Bird Spit Soup  have the following three functions :
