Li Shizhen recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica that silver has health-care effects such as calming the five internal organs, calming the mind, calming the nerves, stopping convulsions and eliminating pathogens.

Modern medicine believes that silver can sterilize, diminish inflammation, detoxify, preserve health and prolong life. Long-term use of silver can accelerate metabolism and enhance resistance. It can be seen that wearing silver jewelry often is healthy and harmless.
