The origin of traditional Chinese medicine bracelets
Qingcheng Mountain Laojun Pavilion
Qingcheng Mountain has been one of the Ten Major Cave Heavens since ancient times, known as the Heaven of the Nine Celestial Chambers of Treasured Immortals. The entire mountain is covered with lush green forests that remain evergreen all year round, with peaks surrounding it like city walls, hence the name Qingcheng Mountain. Towers and temples stand tall within the mountain, with winding paths leading to secluded places, and Taoist temples are scattered throughout, producing many distinguished Taoist masters. Taoist culture was established and passed down here, spanning over a thousand years. In the millennium, Qingcheng Mountain was listed as a World Cultural Heritage site, famed for its tranquil beauty that is unparalleled in the world!
Miaoying Zhenren Sun Simiao (a pharmacist and Taoist priest, revered by later generations as the "King of Medicine")During his time of gathering herbs and practicing asceticism in Qingcheng Mountain, Miaoying Zhenren Sun Simiao (also known as the "King of Medicine") left behind many medical prescriptions, helping countless people. The world is grateful and respectful of him, and to this day, there is still the site of the Medicine King Hall in Qingcheng Mountain. In the Taoist tradition of Qingcheng, through meditation and the blending of incense, Sun Simiao proposed the idea of using fragrances for nourishing the body and cultivating the mind. Later, he developed incense pills such as the Five-Fragrance Pill and Five-Fragrance Powder, which are a type of blended incense bead. Wearing these incense pills not only has the effect of calming the nerves and nourishing the body, but also helps to repel insects in summer and purify the mind.
Traditional Chinese Medicine Bracelet - Design Explanation
HeXiang Beads, as the name suggests, are made from a combination of multiple fragrances, taking the meaning of "combining to form a fragrance." Multiple beads are strung together for wearing, possessing the wonderful effects of nourishing the body and cultivating the mind. The Five-Element HeXiang Beads are designed based on the traditional culture of the five elements and the five virtues, with different fragrance types selected. The ingredients for the Five-Element HeXiang Beads were determined from thousands of incense recipes and crafted using traditional techniques. Appreciating HeXiang Beads is not only about tasting their unique medicinal fragrance but also feeling the rich texture of the naturally made incense beads. This product constantly adjusts the sensory experience of the finished incense beads in the three dimensions of olfaction, touch, and vision, allowing people to calm their minds and cultivate their dispositions while playing with them. And the Five-Element HeXiang Beads also help soothe the nerves and calm the mind through continuous play.
How to distinguish between genuine and fake HeXiang Beads:
-
Touch: Genuine beads made from powder synthesis have a rough, matte texture with a strong sense of friction. Fake beads, which are often mass-produced with injected glue, have a smooth and shiny surface.
-
Smell: Genuine HeXiang Beads, crafted using ancient methods with herbal formulas, have a rich and natural medicinal fragrance. Fake beads, processed with chemical solutions, have a pungent and harmful glue-like odor.
-
Soak: Genuine HeXiang Beads made with ancient methods will lose powder and dissolve when soaked in water (10-minute water test). Fake beads, injected with chemicals and glue, show no change when soaked in water (10-minute water test).
-
Grind: Authentic ancient herbal HeXiang Beads can be reground into powder. Fake beads, injected with glue, are hard and difficult to grind into powder.
