Pearls - effect on a spiritual level
In China, pearls are a symbol of wisdom, dignity and wealth. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, black pearls are assigned to the root chakra and white pearls to the navel chakra. Pearls are used against exhaustion and to support coping with painful experiences, among other things. They are also used for nightmares, to promote balance and inner peace.
Pearls - effect on a physical level
According to tradition, pearls can relieve allergies, headaches and migraines and, above all, have a positive effect on nerves, stomach and skin. They are also used for eye complaints and digestive problems.
Pearls - application
Pearls can be placed on the body, taking into account the organ clock, or used as an elixir or healing stone water. They are also suitable as jewelry on the body or in your pocket. Since according to the Chinese doctrine pearls develop their healing effects only very slowly, the duration of use should be extended accordingly.
Pearl care
The charging of pearls is best done in full moon light. For cleaning, the pearls should be held under running (salt) water once a week and appropriately discharged with hematite.
