The benefits of wearing cinnabar: 1. Cinnabar has detoxifying and antiseptic properties, which can inhibit or kill bacteria when worn, proving highly effective. 2. In our culture, many people choose to wear cinnabar jewelry for its auspicious symbolism, believed to ward off negative influences due to cinnabar's exceptionally strong positive magnetic field. From Taoist and Buddhist practitioners to emperors and common folk alike, cinnabar has long been revered as an object of good fortune. 3. Cinnabar is primarily produced in areas such as Huangxian County in Hunan and Youyang in Sichuan. The cinnabar from Longxikou in Huangxian County is considered the finest and is recognized as a premium medicinal ingredient. According to surveys by domestic scholars, there are over 60 traditional Chinese medicines containing cinnabar. Common examples include cinnabar tranquilizing pills (硃砂安神丸) for calming the mind, Guansuhé pills (冠心蘇合丸) for relieving angina, and Niuhuang Qingxin pills (牛黃清心丸) for clearing heat and resolving phlegm. 4. Cinnabar has been used in clinical practice since the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. Texts such as the "Huangdi Neijing" (Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon) and "Shennong Bencao Gangmu" (Compendium of Materia Medica) document the early recognition of cinnabar's ability to calm the spirit and ward off impurities. Subsequent generations have expanded upon its perceived benefits. Traditional Chinese medicine views cinnabar as having a sweet and cold nature, acting on the heart meridian. It is used to镇心安神 (zhèn xīn ān shén - calm the heart and spirit), clear heat, and detoxify. It is primarily indicated for restlessness, palpitations, insomnia, infantile convulsions, epilepsy, sore throat, and mouth sores.
