Q：Can pearls be used in traditional medicine?
A：In certain traditional medical systems, pearls are believed to have medicinal value and are used to treat various ailments and symptoms. For example, in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), pearls are used as a tonic believed to replenish calcium and minerals, balance the body's yin and yang, and regulate emotions.
Pearl powder and pearl ointments are also used in traditional medicine, believed to benefit the skin and possess anti-aging and cosmetic properties. However, these uses are primarily based on traditional knowledge and lack extensive scientific research to confirm their exact medicinal value and efficacy.
It's worth noting that while pearls are used in traditional medicine, they are not widely utilized in modern medicine as their medicinal value has not been fully scientifically proven and recognized. Anyone using pearls or pearl products as a medication or treatment should do so cautiously under the guidance of a physician and be aware of their potential risks and limitations.
