Amber, a Chinese medicine, is recorded in Shan Hai Jing, which is listed as the top grade by Chinese medicine. It was called "Tiger Spirit" before the Tang Dynasty. Li Shizhen said in Compendium of Materia Medica that "when a tiger dies, its spirit turns into stone and looks like it", that is, it looks like a tiger spirit. Although it seems unreliable in modern times, the function of amber does exist.
Amber is a resin fossil of ancient Pinaceae plants, which is different from the way collectors choose beautiful and transparent shapes. Chinese medicine believes that amber with red color, crisp texture and bright section is better.
Chinese medicine believes that amber can nourish the heart and soothe the nerves, enter the heart meridian and liver meridian, and is suitable for restless and palpitation and insomnia, and is often used together with other Chinese medicines such as Acorus gramineus and Polygalae. If insomnia is caused by insufficient heart blood, it is often used with Ginseng and Angelica, which can benefit qi and nourish blood. In addition, amber can also calm the alarm and can be used for children's alarm.
Amber, a traditional Chinese medicine, can nourish the heart and blood, promote blood circulation and dredge menstruation. It is suitable for blood stasis syndrome, especially for menstrual disorder caused by blood stasis. It is often used with Chinese herbs such as Angelica sinensis and Zedoary Rhizome.
In addition, amber can promote blood circulation and regulate menstruation, not only regulating menstruation, but also regulating meridians. It is often used with traditional Chinese medicine such as Sanqi for those who have blood stasis and meridians that sting their hearts.
Amber and cinnabar are both used to soothe the nerves, and can be used for palpitation and insomnia, forgetfulness and dreaminess, but cinnabar is cold and cool, and is suitable for people who are uneasy and have heat. Amber is neither cold nor hot, which can promote blood circulation. Besides, cinnabar is poisonous, while amber is not.
It can be seen that amber has high medicinal value and is one of the commonly used Chinese medicines, which is mostly used to nourish the heart and regulate insomnia, forgetfulness and dreaminess. On the other hand, amber is also one of the famous literary plays, which can be worn or collected. Because amber has limited natural resources, please cherish it when you meet it.
