PEARLS AS MEDICINE



I saws these bottles of pearls when I was at the Chinese Medicine Shop to buy massage oil for my mum.  Besides being used to make jewellery, these pearls have medicinal uses as well.
In traditional Chinese medicine, pearl is used for treating certain diseases as well as preserving a youthful appearance.  The pearls are crushed into Pearl Powder by the people at the Chinese Medicine Shop.
This powder is believed to be able to 
  • detoxify the system; 
  • clean and clear the skin; 
  • make the skin smooth, soft and lustrous looking.
  • remove age and liver spots on the skin; 
  • give the skin a younger appearance; 
  • adjust the body energy; 
  • calm the liver; 
  • treat open sores, burns and cuts;
  • cure fever;
  • relieve stress from the mind; 
  • treat sore throat; 
  • adjust the nerve system; 
  • regulate the metabolism; 
  • improve eyesight; 
  • reat insomnia; 
  • and Energize the body.
