Features: When it comes to pearls, everyone is familiar with them. In China, the use of pearls has a history spanning thousands of years. However, from the perspective of professionals in traditional Chinese medicine, pearls are not just beautiful jewelry, not merely ornaments for decoration, not just collectibles or assets, but more importantly, they are a natural medicinal with broad and miraculous therapeutic effects! Pearls have been used by traditional Chinese medicine since ancient times to treat illnesses and heal people, with their efficacy recorded in all historical medical texts. In ancient times, before the technology for artificial pearl cultivation was invented, the production of pearls was extremely limited, only available to high-ranking officials and nobles. Moreover, they were primarily ground into powder and used by noblewomen for beauty and skincare.
After the invention of artificial pearl cultivation technology, modern medicine, based on the records in traditional Chinese medical texts, conducted extensive and in-depth research on the medicinal value of pearls, discovering that their efficacy far exceeds mere beauty and skincare. The results confirmed that pearls can promote the growth and development of adolescents; delay aging and extend human lifespan; treat osteoporosis, tinnitus, and cataracts in the elderly, thereby improving their quality of life; prevent and treat common "civilization diseases" in modern society such as cardiovascular diseases, gastric and duodenal ulcers, and diabetes; alleviate insomnia and chronic fatigue syndrome; and, of course, include the traditional efficacy of pearls—whitening and moisturizing the skin. What is particularly valuable is that all these therapeutic effects of pearls are based on no adverse reactions, which is rare in the modern society that advocates "revering nature and returning to nature."
As scholars and physicians who study traditional Chinese medicine, we deeply feel the necessity to introduce this miraculous natural health remedy to a broad readership, hoping to alleviate your concerns! It should be noted that the content of this book is not only based on our clinical experience with pearls but also references hundreds of scientific research papers on pearls from historical traditional Chinese medical texts and medical institutions.
