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 evil spirits.
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.
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 source, trying to poison the caravan and rob the goods. For the safety of life and property, businessmen each took a few pieces of silver tableware. After finding the water source, they first filled the water with silver tableware, and after checking that it was non-toxic, they 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 a pair of iron earrings is worn on the newly pierced ear, several subjects will 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 documents, soldiers were injured in the ancient battlefields in China.
When you can't find the medicine, you can beat the silver you carry with you into silver pieces and cover the wound, which can not only prevent the wound from infection, but also accelerate the wound healing.
Efficacy three, sterilization
There are no more than two reasons for a person's illness, internal and external.
Endogenous refers to the body's own metabolic disorder, causing diseases,
Such as diabetes and dwarfism; External causes are diseases caused by external influences or harmful microbial infections, and the most common ones are viral infections and bacterial infections.
Modern medicine confirms that:
Silver can kill all harmful microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, 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.
The use of silver is a miracle of modern medicine. One antibiotic can kill 6 kinds of pathogenic bacteria on average, while silver can kill 650 kinds, effectively controlling recalcitrant strains. A very small amount of silver can destroy a large number of pathogenic organisms. In the laboratory, we haven't found any kind of bacteria that can survive on silver plates for more than 6 minutes. Silver is effective in treating infectious diseases such as septicemia, rheumatic fever, gonorrhea, arthritis, diphtheria and meningitis. It also has a very significant curative effect on burns and other injuries. All antibiotics are denied by bacterial infection. Especially in hospitals, people find that the drug resistance of bacteria is getting stronger and stronger, and sometimes it even changes the original structure, making antibiotics ineffective. Increasing the dosage of antibiotics will only lead to a vicious circle, because high concentration of drugs will also cause harm to the human body itself, and all bacteria will have stronger drug resistance. At present, the only safe method is silver, which can inhibit almost all bacteria and extracellular viruses known at present, and silver ions are harmless to human body without any side effects.
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 after a few days in an ordinary bowl, but it can keep 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 get sick,
Boil an egg, shell it while it is hot, and 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 his abdomen. 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. When taken orally, the red-hot silver tablets are put into water,
Drinking water after cooling has a good therapeutic effect on gastrointestinal diseases.
Benefits of wearing silver jewelry:
Silver ions have a strong bactericidal effect, and wearing silver ornaments has many benefits to the human body, not only beautiful and elegant, but also has the effect of strengthening the body. The ancients had such a saying, "Wear silver, and you will always be healthy and rich." In medicine, the role of silver in human health is much higher than that of gold, and many domestic medical scientists believe that silver is a miracle in the history of medicine.
Before BC, the ancients knew that silver could accelerate wound healing, prevent infection and prevent bacterial growth. Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica records that silver has the function of "calming the five internal organs, calming the mind, stopping convulsions and eliminating evil spirits". Ancient medical scientists, such as Bian Que, Sun Simiao and Li Shizhen, often wore a silver ring when they went out, just like our spring ring, which can be used as a silver stick when necessary to save lives.
Compendium of Materia Medica does not refer to pathogenic factors, but refers to the attack of common cold, such as rheumatism and heat toxin in the body.
