What is Pearl Powder? How is Pearl Powder Made?

Pearl powder is a powder made of pearls produced by shellfish after grinding. It is white or slightly white and has a slight natural fishy smell. Crown mussels, pearl oysters, etc. At present, the main producing areas of pearls are China and Japan.

The culture techniques of freshwater pearls and seawater pearls (in the case of Nanzhu) are different, so the structure is also different. Freshwater pearls are seedless, and all components are composed of nacre, so if freshwater pearls are used to make pearl powder, there is no mixing of other substances. Seawater pearls have nuclei, which are generally ground from the shells of trotters, and the nacre only covers the surface, with a thickness of 0.1-0.3 mm, and a growth period of about 1 year (4-5 years for freshwater pearls). However, if seawater pearls are to be processed into 100% pearl powder, the inner core must be removed first, which is costly and difficult to process.

Can Pearl Powder Heal Burns and Scalds Without Leaving Traces?

In addition to aging and various lesions, the skin may also encounter unpredictable accidents, such as stab wounds, burns and other accidental injuries. “Compendium of Materia Medica” records that pearls have the effect of relieving acne and toxins. The so-called acne treatment is to treat various skin injuries and wounds, such as carbuncles, poisonous sores, water and fire burns, knife wounds and herpes zoster.
According to clinical experiments, before the treatment with pearl powder, the wound site can be carefully cleaned with physiological saline, hydrogen peroxide or purple syrup, and then the pearl powder or external ointment containing pearl powder can be applied evenly on the wound surface. Sprinkle pearl powder directly on the wound and apply it in a thin layer, so as to change the dressing once a day, and take pearl powder together.

What makes patients especially excited is that when the wounded area recovers, the skin can be restored to its original smooth state, which will neither produce unsightly pigmentation, nor will it Any unsightly scars remain.
Emphasize the points that should be paid attention to during the treatment. First of all, pearl powder is used to treat external wounds, and the most important thing is to use a two-pronged method of external application and internal administration. Because pearl powder can not only directly supply the nutrients needed for wound recovery from the wounded site, but also transport various trace elements contained in pearl powder into the blood through oral administration, helping the human body to remove the trauma caused and accumulated by the body. In this way, the injured part can continue to play a role in eliminating pigmentation and residual scars during the recovery process. Secondly, if blisters appear in the injured area, you should remember not to break the blisters, let alone tear off the skin above. The correct treatment method is to first gently wash the wound with normal saline or anti-inflammatory solution, and then lightly apply a thin layer of pearl powder on the wound, and start taking pearl powder three times a day, about 0.3 grams each time. , If the blister is accidentally broken, the epidermis of the wound should also be retained, and pearl powder should be applied to the epidermis, so that the epidermis after the blister burst can continue to protect the underlying skin tissue.
In addition, for knife wounds and carbuncle sores, if the affected area has suppuration, the pus should be drained first, and then the wound should be cleaned, and then a thin layer of pearl powder should be applied.

Precautions for Pearl Powder

Will taking pearl powder orally cause stones?
Taking real high-quality pearl powder will not stone. After a long-term epidemiological study, scientists found that calcium deficiency is the main cause of stones. Because the main component of kidney stones is calcium oxalate, if the content of oxalic acid in the body is too high, it is easy to combine with calcium in the body to form calcium oxalate insoluble in water, which may form stones. Pearl powder contains a lot of calcium. Ingestion of pearl powder, the calcium ions released can combine with oxalic acid in the intestinal tract to form insoluble calcium oxalate, which is excreted, thereby preventing oxalic acid from being absorbed into the body, thus reducing (by reducing the binding of oxalic acid to calcium ions in the body) The incidence of kidney stones.
Should pearl powder be taken before or after meals?
Pearl powder is a natural and mild skin care product. You only need to adhere to the principles of timing, quantity and continuity in taking it. Generally, there are no rules for taking it before or after meals.
However, because pearl powder is cold, it is recommended to take it after meals for those with stomach cold symptoms.
