Pearls are another mineral "herb" used traditionally to calm the spirit. Specifically,
pearls are used in traditional Chinese formulas to sedate the Heart to stop
tremor and palpitation. They are also used in formulas to clear Liver heat and
dispel nodules. Pearls are also used in formulas to treat superficial
disorders of the eyes, including pterygium, glaucoma, and cataract.
Pearl powder promotes healing when used topically and can also be found
in many patent anti-aging Chinese skin creams.
Pearls can be worn as well to reduce tiredness and day-time irritablity. As with
traditional Chinese herbal formula the best result is obtained by wearing them
regulary, rather than on occasion.
