Efficacy one, identify poisons
The ancient tea-horse road is a traditional transportation channel connecting home and abroad, and also an economic and cultural exchange channel. If you know enough about the history of the ancient tea-horse road, you will find a phenomenon that caravans walking on the ancient tea-horse road will certainly carry a few pieces of silver tableware, such as silver bowls, silver pots and so on, in addition to various commodities.
Most of the tea-horse ancient roads are inaccessible deep mountains and dense forests, and caravans carrying goods on the road will inevitably attract bandits' eyes. In order to take away the goods of the caravan, many robbers often use their only way to poison the water, trying to poison the caravan and rob the goods.
For the safety of life and property, every merchant takes several pieces of silver tableware. After finding the water source, he first checked the water with silver tableware and confirmed that it was non-toxic, and then took water to drink horses and cook. Therefore, for a long time, silver tableware was necessary for businessmen to go out. It is not only a symbol of identity, but also maintains the safety of life and property.
Efficacy 2, anti-inflammatory
Throughout the ages, women who love beauty like to have their ears pierced. Anyone who has pierced ears knows that if you wear a pair of iron earrings on the ear that has just been pierced, it will almost become 100% inflamed, while wearing silver earrings will not become inflamed and the wound will heal quickly.
Of course, the ear itself cannot favor high-priced jewelry, which shows that silver has a strong anti-inflammatory and wound healing effect.
Before the discovery of antibiotics, inflammation was fatal, and even a small trauma would kill people because of improper treatment. According to the literature, in the ancient battlefield of China, some wounded soldiers could not find medicine for a while, so they made silver ingots and covered the wounds, which not only prevented the wound from being infected, but also accelerated the wound healing.
Efficacy three, sterilization
There are no more than two reasons for a person's illness, internal and external. Internal cause refers to the body's own metabolic disorder, which leads to diseases, such as diabetes and dwarfism. External causes are diseases caused by external influences or harmful microbial infections, and the most common are viral infections and bacterial infections.
Modern medicine has proved that silver can kill all harmful microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, real epidemic barriers). Silver ions have a good effect on gastritis, malaria, parasitic infection, psoriasis, eye, ear, oral infection and yeast infection, which can be taken orally or externally.
Efficacy four, anti-corrosion and preservation
Ethnic minorities in many areas of China like to hold food in silverware to keep it fresh and delicious for a long time.
For example, here, when guests come to the grassland, the highest courtesy for grassland people to receive guests is to offer koumiss in a silver bowl. The silver bowl is not only a symbol of nobility and purity, but also has a fresh-keeping function, because horse milk will deteriorate in a few days in an ordinary bowl, but it can remain delicious and mellow for a long time in a silver bowl.
Efficacy five, dehumidification
Dehumidification refers to the application of expelling wind and removing dampness and damp heat. For example, acupuncture in traditional Chinese medicine uses silver needles.
For example, the climate in Sichuan Basin is relatively humid due to the topography. Because silver has the function of dispelling wind and dampness, people who live there like to wear silver ornaments. In Liangshan, Sichuan, the local Yi people have a folk prescription. When people are sick, they boil an egg and shell it while it is hot.
Then dig out the yolk, put a piece of silver in it, wrap the egg with a hot towel, and roll it back and forth on the patient's temple, the inside of his hands bowl and the eyes of the abdominal agent. After the egg is cold, take out the silver inside, and you can see that the surface of the silver has turned black, indicating that it has sucked out the water in the patient's body.
Efficacy 6. Purify water quality
Silver ions can sterilize and purify water. Someone has done experiments. An iron bucket and a silver bucket are filled with tap water at the same time and opened for one month. What is left in the iron bucket is half a bucket of green muddy water, and what is left in the silver bucket is half a bucket of clear tap water. Drinking in a glass made of silver can make the wine taste more mellow because of the harmonic effect of silver ions and alcohol.
In ancient times, people already knew that silver could be used both internally and externally. For external use, acupuncture with silver needle and covering the wound with silver sheet to prevent infection. Oral administration is to put the red-hot silver tablets into water and drink them after the water cools, which has a good therapeutic effect on gastrointestinal diseases. But you can't rely on silver jewelry when you are sick. It is better to insist on early treatment.
