Green Frog

Rana clamitans

Description:

A medium sized frog with a simple greenish coloring. It has a very pronounced tympanum (the circle behind the eye.)

Habitat:

This frog needs a warm body of water and some plants. It also requires humidity, and a small amount of moisture. (Spraying the tank often can accomplish this especially if it is warm like a greenhouse.)

This is a very hardy creature and is good for beginners.

Diet:

It eats insects, spiders, other tadpoles etc.

Habits:

Its a very calm frog. Generally it prefers to stay near water, though it sometimes can be found in damp woodland areas near decaying trees etc.

Miscellaneous Facts:

Green Frogs can be found in much of the eastern half of the United States

Hi,

I am unsure of the extent of help you could get from a green frog for vitilgo. But you can buy them from any Chinese store. The best place to enquire suppliers will be at a traditional Chinese resturant in your city/area. They will know suppliers and route you to them. But discuss the use of a greenfrog with your doctor before embarking on it.

Hi,

It will not help anybody. Please note that Frogs are a protected species under the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972 and any action that contravenes the provisions of the Act could attract stringent punishment with fine and imprisonment.

You cannot buy green frog as such and use for therapeutic uses. It is better you join in some ayurvedic centre and have the treatment.

Hi!

Though I don’t know about the availably of green frog in channi, still I will give some information regarding vitiligo.

Vitiligo/leukoderma is curable disease. There are good medicines for curing vitiligo. Therefore you need not to search for green frog, though the traditional remedies some time work great. In homeopathy there are very good medicine for it. Therefore consult a good homeo doctor for proper treatment.

Vitiligo is a disorder in which a localized loss of melanocytes results in smooth white patches of skin.The cause of vitiligo is unknown, but it may involve an attack by the person's immune system on melanocytes. Vitiligo tends to run in families and may occur with certain other diseases. Thyroid disease is present in almost one third of people with vitiligo, but the relationship between the disorders is unclear. People with diabetes, Addison's disease, and pernicious anemia also are somewhat more likely to develop vitiligo. The disorder may occur after physical trauma or sunburn.

A vitiligo patient ought to avoid shining to sunshine directly and long living in a damp circumstance, do not go a blow with electric fan or air conditioner when getting in sweating, maintaining a well regular living habit and a better mind state; some irritant foods such as shrimp, crab, mutton, chili, etc, are forbidden; when getting complicated in vitiligo symptoms should be treated as earlier as possible.

Hi Anonymous,

I don’t think green frog would be any kinda help for curing vitiligo/leukoderma.

Green Frogs look something like small Bullfrogs, but their colour varies from yellow to green or bronze, sometimes with brown spots on the back. Some males, particularly individuals in shaded woodland ponds, are black on the back. A few metallic blue individuals have been found. Look for a ridge above the eye that extends part way down the back: this will distinguish Green Frogs from Bullfrogs - in Bullfrogs the ridge curves down right behind the eardrum.

Green Frogs are common in lakes, ponds and streams. Practically any body of fresh water is potential habitat, whether it is small or large, temporary or permanent, with or without plant life.

Breeding is in June and July. Males spread out among the shallows. The larger dominant males challenge other males that attempt to enter the best vegetated spawning sites. The male's call has been compared to the sound of a loose banjo string. You will hear it day and night, but especially during the first hours of daylight. After spawning, the female extrudes from 1,500 to about 5,000 eggs in a film-like mass among the surface vegetation. The tadpoles overwinter under the silt and dead plants on the bottom and transform the following summer, about one year after hatching. The adults stay in the pond and hibernate in early autumn.

Green Frogs eat a great variety of small land and water creatures. Beetles, bugs, spiders, ants, moth larvae and snails are the big items.

Remedies for leucoderma:

It should be heated in the morning till one kg oh water is left. It should be strained and mixed with fine hundred grams of mustard oil. This mixture should be heated till only the oil is left. It should be applied on white patches every morning and evening for few months Babchi seeds combined with tamarind seeds also cures. Equal amount of seeds be put in water for three to four days. They should be made into paste and applied to the white patches for a week. A paste made from seeds of the radish is useful in treatment.thirty five grams of these seeds should be powdered in vinegar and applied on white patches. Prevention Tips
