Zhen Zhu (Pearl)- Liquid Extract (Tincture):
This tincture contains Zhen Zhu (pearl) – the same precious gemstone that forms around a grain of sand or other foreign matter in the shells of oysters and other mollusks. Pearls primarily comprise calcium carbonate but also contain amino acids & other minerals as well (e.g. magnesium, zinc, iron, copper, selenium and silicon). Its TCM actions are to nourish the Heart and calm Liver wind– in practical terms, this means that one can use this herb for:
- Shen disturbance characterized by such symptoms as neurasthenia, insomnia, palpitations, and being easily frightened.
- superficial visual obstructions (e.g. pterygium and blurred vision) caused by Liver heat or Liver deficiency… it is almost always combined with other herbs and used as eye drops for this purpose.
