Is it true that silver bracelets can remove moisture?

Moisture in the body can easily lead to disease. If you want to be healthy and get sick less often, it is very important to remove moisture from the body. Rumor has it that silver bracelets can remove moisture from the body. In fact, this statement is unscientific. Silver bracelets cannot remove moisture. If you want to remove moisture from the body, it is best to consult a Chinese medicine doctor. Everyone knows that Chinese medicine is profound.

Silver bracelets are not very effective in removing moisture. The Compendium of Materia Medica states that silver has the effects of “calming the five internal organs, calming the mind, curing palpitations, strengthening bones, calming the heart, and improving eyesight.

In some ethnic minority areas with humid climates such as Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, people like to wear a lot of silver jewelry. In addition to its decorative function, silver is believed to have the effect of removing dampness, but the health-care effect of silver is actually very limited.

Only silver with a concentration of 999 or above is called pure silver. Generally, allergies will not occur when wearing pure silver jewelry. However, if you believe that silver jewelry can "absorb" moisture or detoxify the human body by observing that the surface of the silver turns black, this is indeed not true.

Silver turns black because it reacts with sulfide to form black silver sulfide. If there is gas containing sulfide in the air, or silver jewelry is in long-term contact with sulfide released by sweat, excrement and egg products, it will turn black after a period of time, giving the illusion of "absorbing" moisture and toxins from the human body. This is a normal natural phenomenon. After cleaning, the silver jewelry will become bright and new again.

How to get rid of body moisture

Drink barley and red bean porridge

In traditional Chinese medicine, obesity or edema means that there is dampness in the body. The water cannot flow with the blood and is retained between body cells, causing the body to swell rapidly. Drugs or foods with strong dehumidifying properties can remove the water retained in the human body and reduce swelling. Therefore, red beans must be used to treat edema. Practice has proved that barley and red bean porridge has good weight-loss effects. It can lose weight without hurting the body. Especially for obesity in middle-aged and elderly people, the effect is particularly good.

Exercise and sweating are good ways to remove moisture; especially in the summer, do not turn on the air conditioner or fan, the sweat in the body must come out, otherwise your moisture will be too heavy and you will definitely get sick in the winter. Exercising moderately every day is very beneficial to the body. Exercise can relieve stress, activate the functioning of body organs, and accelerate the excretion of moisture from the body.

Mugwort foot bath dehumidification

Soaking your feet in mugwort leaves has the effect of dispelling cold. Mugwort is an extremely yang medicine. Soaking your feet in mugwort water can effectively get rid of false fire and cold fire. For patients with severe cold and dampness in the body, it is okay to soak your feet in mugwort water once a week, but you must stop eating cold food while soaking your feet in mugwort water. Don't let cold and dampness invade you anymore. Slowly you will find that your body is no longer easily inflamed after eating nourishing food, and your physical condition is slowly improving.

What is the role of silver jewelry

Anti-inflammatory

From ancient times to the present, women who love beauty like to get their ears pierced. People who have had their ears pierced know that if you wear a pair of iron earrings on a newly pierced ear hole, it is almost certain to get inflamed. However, wearing silver earrings will not only prevent inflammation, but the wound will heal quickly.

Sterilization

When a person is sick, there are two possible reasons, internal and external. Internal causes refer to the body's own metabolic disorders that cause diseases, such as diabetes, dwarfism, etc.; external causes refer to diseases caused by external influences or infection by harmful microorganisms, the most common of which are viral infections and bacterial infections. Modern medicine has confirmed that silver can kill all harmful microorganisms.

Ethnic minorities in many parts of our country like to use silver utensils to serve food, so that the food can remain fresh and delicious for a long time. Here is an example. When guests come to the grassland, the highest etiquette of the grassland people in receiving them is to offer them mare's milk in a silver bowl. The silver bowl is not only a symbol of nobility and purity, representing the highest courtesy, but also has the function of preservation. If the mare's milk is placed in an ordinary bowl, it will go bad after a few days, but the mare's milk placed in a silver bowl can remain fresh and mellow for a long time.

Purify water

Silver ions can kill bacteria and purify water. Someone once did an experiment in which an iron bucket and a silver bucket were filled with tap water at the same time and left open for a month. Half a bucket of green muddy water was left in the iron bucket, while half a bucket of clear tap water was left in the silver bucket. Drinking from a silver wine glass can make the wine taste more mellow due to the blending effect of silver ions and alcohol. In ancient times, people already knew that silver could be taken internally or externally. External use means acupuncture with silver needles and covering wounds with silver sheets to prevent infection. For internal use, put the red-hot silver block in water, wait for the water to cool down and drink it. It has a good therapeutic effect on gastrointestinal diseases.
