The origin of the Chinese crude drug Scorpio "Quanxie" (全蝎) is Buthus martensii. Dan-Quanxie (淡全蝎, boiled scorpion) is prepared by processing scorpions in hot water and Xi-Quanxie (鹹全蝎, salty scorpion) by boiling them in salt water. In the present work, 22 commercial samples of the Chinese crude drug Scorpio, all of which were salty scorpions, were examined for their ash and chlorine contents. There was a positive correlation between the values of ash and those of total chlorines. When the salt concentration used for the preparation was higher and the treating time was longer, the values of ash and total chlorine contents in Scorpio were higher. The mean value of total chlorines in the commercial salty scorpions was 20 times that in the boiled scorpions. The amounts of inorganic elements (K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn) and 17 amino acids were about the same regardless of the difference in the processing procedures. The inorganic element contents widely varied depending on the habitat. Difference among individuals was also noted.
