Is the jade bracelet good for your health?

[Essence] Is it healthy to wear jade? Many jade merchants often say that wearing jade is good for health when introducing their jade ornaments to customers. It is also often asked by consumers: "Is wearing jade jewelry really beneficial to people's health?" First of all, we must affirm that Dai Yu is good for health and has its objective basis. Li Shizhen, a great physician in the Ming Dynasty, recorded in his masterpiece Compendium of Materia Medica that jade has the functions of "clearing heat in the middle, relieving boredom, helping the voice and throat, nourishing hair, nourishing five internal organs, dredging blood vessels, and brightening eyes and ears ...". In the unique and profound Tibetan medicine of traditional Chinese medicine, there are many precious stones and jade minerals used as medicine, such as pearls, viola, cinnabar (bloodstone), magnets, actinolite, mirabilite (calcite), talc, turquoise, amber, realgar, orpiment, gypsum and so on. Used to treat diseases and keep healthy. Thousands of years of scientific research and people's practice have proved that these minerals (jewelry and jade) do have certain medical or health care functions; According to the comprehensive research results of modern mineral medicine, physics, chemistry and biology, gems do have certain medical and health care functions: some gems and jade contain trace elements beneficial to human body, such as zinc, magnesium, iron, selenium, chromium, manganese, cobalt and copper. Wearing gemstone ornaments often can make these trace elements enter the human body through skin and acupoints, and spread to the whole body through meridians and blood circulation, thus playing a role in filling the deficiency of the human body, balancing physiological functions, health care and longevity to a certain extent (but this is a long and slow process). According to the unique health care and medical function, psychological adjustment function and low temperature physical characteristics of jade, combined with the health care theory of "cool head and warm feet" advocated by China's traditional medical theory, people have developed dozens of small health care products inlaid with or connected with jade-jade pillows. When the jade pillow comes into contact with the human body, it will generate static electricity and magnetic field, so that the acupuncture points on the head and neck of the human body can be gently massaged during rest and sleep. Clinical trials show that long-term use of jade pillow can improve human immune function, and has certain curative effect on neurasthenia, Meniere's syndrome, cervical spondylosis and headache, and has certain adjuvant treatment effect on cerebral infarction, sequelae of brain diseases and other diseases. Needless to say, some dignitaries used jade massage to keep fit in ancient times. Even in modern times, people still use jade massagers to keep keys. Therefore, Baoyu does have a certain effect of preventing diseases and prolonging life, and wearing jade is good for health. Secondly, wearing jade is beneficial to health, because Baoyu jewelry itself makes people feel good psychologically, and psychological pleasure and tranquility will inevitably have a positive effect on people's physiology, thus making people healthy. Wearing gem ornaments is a kind of spiritual enjoyment to a great extent. In the process of wearing jewelry, people will have many beautiful associations through the process of watching, playing and enjoying, so that they are happy and comfortable. For example, in the face of a certain kind of gem ornaments, some people may feel like a foreign poet said: "The feeling aroused by beautiful things in people's hearts is similar to the rape pleasure that overflows when we face the people we love." Take wearing jade ornaments as an example. First-class green jade is the first-class jade, which is honored as "the jade among jade". The green color of first-class jadeite is one of the most elegant colors. Green is a symbol of hope, harmony, youth and eternity, and it is the main color of natural forests. It is deep and quiet, which makes people feel comfortable and peaceful. The green color of jadeite gives people a positive reverie. Chinese medicine has the saying that "the liver opens its eyes, the green color nourishes the liver and improves eyesight, and the mottled color hurts the liver and hurts the spirit". Modern science has long proved that the green wavelength is in the middle of the visible spectrum, which is 490 ~ 530 nanometers. It has a protective effect on people's eyes and a "calming" effect on people's nervous system. Therefore, green can stabilize mood, relieve fatigue and keep people in a good mental state. Green scenery can reduce intraocular pressure and eliminate or relieve mental tension, so it is not difficult for us to understand that "wearing jade is good for health". Jewelry is not only a kind of wealth, an ornament, but also a spiritual thing for people. In traditional jade ornaments, many people like to see auspicious patterns, such as dragons, cranes, deer, peaches, bergamot, magpies, bats and so on. The patterns of gentlemen such as plum, bamboo, chrysanthemum and lotus, which symbolize the feelings of life, and the patterns of horses and sails, which imply success and smoothness, all pin people's wishes and ideals. In a benign atmosphere, people will face life with a positive, optimistic, calm and peaceful attitude. From the perspective of spiritual civilization and mental health, it can also be said that wearing jade is beneficial to people's health. Thirdly, we should fully realize the complexity of whether Dai Yu is good for health. The use of jade and the development of jade culture have a long history. From the Neolithic period when jade was used as a production tool to today, jade culture has cast a very rich and complex social content, which will inevitably shed sediment in the long river of history. Within the scope of jade culture, essence and dross, science and superstition, truth and emptiness often coexist. In the long time and space of the use and evolution of jade, jade has always had a wide range of functions and values in production and life, but it is often artificial and illusory, containing a lot of bizarre deification and eccentric ideas, such as the supernatural view that jade is a supernatural god, can communicate with the gods, and can live forever with jade as medicine bait; Another example is the concept of destiny, which holds that someone was destined to get a piece of jade in his last life and is destined to be born today. Wearing a piece of jade can eliminate diseases and disasters, avoid disasters and pray for blessings. There are also some legends circulating among the people that jade can be used to rescue people from danger, save lives and prevent people from being injured at critical moments because of people's attention and common sense, and also because of Dai Yu's sincerity ... For the health care function of jade, some people say that some kinds of gems have special photoelectric effect, and in the process of cutting and polishing into jewelry, they gather into certain energy to form a magnetic field, which can make all parts of the human body more harmonious. Some qigong experts believe that jade is one of the richest materials for storing "Qi". You don't have to care or believe it until it is proved by facts. To sum up, we can confidently say that wearing jade is harmless to human body, and wearing gem jewelry is beneficial to people's physical and mental health. There are material and objective factors in wearing gem jewelry, but mental and psychological factors account for a considerable proportion. Common sense tells us that the health care function of wearing gems is incomparable to that of jewelry and jade as mineral medicine. The latter can be directly used as medicine in soup, powder, pills and tablets, and the trace elements in minerals can be absorbed by the human body more directly, resulting in the effect of eliminating diseases and strengthening the body. But when it is worn as an ornament, it is different, because the gem is a substance with considerable hardness and stability, and the trace elements in it are difficult to separate or rarely adhere to the surface of the ornament, so it is absorbed by the pores of the skin, the subcutaneous meridians and blood. Even if it is absorbed, it is because the amount is very small, it takes a long time to have an effect on the human body, and the effect is very limited. Therefore, it is unrealistic to exaggerate or even deify the health care function of wearing jewelry and jade ornaments, and it is not conducive to the popularization and research and development of jewelry and jade ornaments. If you exaggerate, you will lose trust in the people and have a counterproductive effect. Source: China Emerald Network.
