Dried seahorses are the preserved bodies of seahorses, often used
in traditional medicine and cultural practices, particularly in
East Asia. They are valued for their purported medicinal
properties, which include boosting vitality and treating various
ailments. In addition to their use in medicine, dried seahorses are
sometimes used in crafts and as decorative items. Due to
overharvesting and destruction, there are concerns about the
sustainability of seahorse populations.
