The Benefits of Wearing Cinnabar 1. Cinnabar possesses detoxifying and antiseptic properties. Wearing it can help inhibit or kill bacteria, proving quite effective. 2. In our culture, many choose to wear cinnabar jewelry for its auspicious symbolism, believed to ward off negativity due to cinnabar's strong positive magnetic field. From Taoist and Buddhist traditions to emperors and common folk alike, cinnabar has long been revered as an object of good fortune. 3. Cinnabar is primarily sourced from regions like Huaiyuan County in Hunan and Youyang in Sichuan, with the cinnabar from Longxikou in Huaiyuan County considered the finest and a true medicinal treasure. Research indicates that over 60 traditional Chinese medicines contain cinnabar, including common remedies like Zhenxin An Shen Wan for calming the mind, Guanxin Suhe Wan for relieving angina, and Niu Huang Qing Xin Wan for clearing heat and phlegm. 4. Cinnabar has been used in clinical practice since the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. Ancient texts such as the "Huangdi Neijing" and "Shennong Bencao Jing" document its recognized ability to calm the spirit and ward off impurities. Throughout subsequent dynasties, understanding of cinnabar's functions expanded. Traditional Chinese medicine views cinnabar as having a sweet, cold nature, acting upon the heart meridian to鎮心安神 (calm the heart and spirit), and clearing heat and detoxifying. It is primarily used to treat conditions such as restlessness, palpitations, insomnia, convulsions, epilepsy, sore throat, and mouth sores.
