The healing powers of natural precious minerals in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)
The five precious minerals in our frequency mat are: germanium, black-green jade, biotite, elvan and tourmaline. Learn about their health benefits and how they have been used in TCM for centuries to enhance well-being and treat disease.
Germanium : A valuable metalloid with multiple health benefits. Germanium is a semi-metallic element found in the earth's crust, but in relatively small amounts. It is often found as a by-product in the extraction of copper, zinc and lead from ores. The main sources for extracting germanium are minerals such as germanite (a germanium-sulphur ore) and sphalerite (a zinc ore), which contain germanium in small concentrations. Germanium has long been valued in TCM. It offers a number of positive effects, including:
- Immune System Support: Germanium stimulates the immune system and helps improve the body's defenses.
- Antioxidant effect: As a powerful antioxidant, germanium neutralizes free radicals and thus counteracts oxidative stress and inflammation.
- Lowering blood pressure: Germanium improves blood flow and dilates blood vessels, which can lead to a reduction in blood pressure.
- Pain Relief: By improving blood flow and reducing inflammation, germanium may help reduce pain.
- Improving Oxygen Uptake: Germanium promotes oxygen uptake in the body, which can lead to increased energy production and improved metabolism.
In particular, germanium has been shown to be helpful in supporting cancer patients and treating conditions such as arthritis and diabetes.
Black Green Jade: Black Green Jade, also known as Jadeite, is mainly found in Myanmar (formerly known as Burma). It is obtained by mining in jade mines. A precious stone with harmonizing and detoxifying properties Jade is a mineral that has been valued in many cultures for thousands of years. In TCM, jade is used to strengthen the organs, improve blood flow and detoxify the body. Here are some more jade health benefits:
- Harmonizing the Energy Centers: Jade is believed to harmonize the chakras of the body and have calming effects on the mind.
- Skin Health: Jade promotes blood circulation and skin detoxification, which can help improve skin health.
- Protection from negative energies: As a protective stone, jade helps to ward off negative energies and radiation and protect the body from harm.
Biotite: Biotite is a common rock and is found in various parts of the world including North America, Europe, Africa and Asia. It is a component of many igneous and metamorphic rocks. Biotite is extracted from quarries or mines. There the rock is mined and then crushed to release the biotite minerals. Some of its advantages are:
- Source of minerals: Biotite contains various minerals such as potassium, magnesium, iron, aluminum and silicon. These minerals are important to the body and can help maintain healthy body function.
- Energy balancing: Biotite is often referred to as "energy balancing". It is believed to help balance energy in the body and improve energy flow.
- Boosting the Immune System: Some believe that biotite can boost the immune system. It is believed to support the body's immune response and help ward off disease.
- Detoxification: Biotite is also considered a detoxifying mineral. It is believed to bind pollutants and toxins in the body and help eliminate them.
- Stress Relief: Biotite is occasionally used for its relaxing properties. It's believed to reduce stress and tension, which can lead to an overall sense of well-being.
Elvan: Elvan is a volcanic rock found mainly in certain regions of Turkey, particularly in Kayseri province and surrounding areas. It is also found in some other countries like Greece, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Elvan, is valued in alternative medicine for various health benefits. Here are some of them:
- Detox: Elvan is commonly used as a natural detox as it can help remove toxins and heavy metals from the body.
- Improving Blood Circulation: Elvan can boost blood circulation by widening blood vessels and improving blood flow in the body.
- Pain Relief: Due to its textured surface and therapeutic effects, Elvan is sometimes used in pain relief, particularly muscle and joint pain.
- Stress Relief: Elvan is also valued for its relaxing properties. It can help reduce stress and tension in the body and improve overall well-being.
- Skin Health: Elvan can support skin health by balancing the pH of the skin, promoting blood circulation and promoting skin detoxification. This can contribute to a healthier and more radiant complexion.
Tourmaline : Tourmaline is a mineral found worldwide. It is found in various countries including Brazil, Sri Lanka, Russia, Afghanistan, USA and many others. Tourmaline is mainly extracted through mining. Tourmaline is a mineral with different color variations such as black, brown, green, pink and blue. It is often used in alternative medicine and wellness applications. Tourmaline has the unique property of generating negative ions, which is why it is often referred to as an "electric gem". Valuable properties of tourmaline on humans:
- Detoxification: Tourmaline is valued for its detoxifying properties. It is said to help remove toxins and heavy metals from the body and improve health. Effective detoxification can relieve the immune system and boost overall health.
- Energizing: Tourmaline generates negative ions, also known as "vitamins of the air". These ions are said to improve oxygen uptake in the body, boost metabolism and increase overall energy levels. By boosting energy, tourmaline can help improve physical and mental vitality.
- Stress Relief: Negative ions generated by tourmaline are also said to have a calming effect on the mind. They can help reduce stress, improve mood, and promote inner calm. A stress-free state of mind can increase well-being and support the immune system.
- Protection from Electromagnetic Radiation: Tourmaline is sometimes considered to protect against electromagnetic radiation. Tourmaline is believed to generate negative ions that can help neutralize the harmful effects of electromagnetic fields from electronic devices. This aspect is of particular interest in our modern world shaped by technology.
