Women should identify their body constitution before taking pearl powder
In daily life, many women have a cold constitution. If they take pearl powder for a long time, it may cause symptoms of cold pathogen damaging the vital qi, such as indigestion, diarrhea, cold limbs, and sallow complexion. Additionally, individuals with a cold constitution, a cold stomach, or kidney stones are not suitable for taking pearl powder.
Therefore, before taking pearl powder, it is essential to consult a doctor to determine your body constitution and decide whether it can be taken orally.
When taken as medicine orally, pearl must be processed and ground into an extremely fine powder, like flour; otherwise, it may damage the internal organs, especially the spleen and stomach. Grinding pearl into a fine powder can promote gastrointestinal absorption and enhance its therapeutic effect, and the finer, the better. The same applies to external use.
Furthermore, pearl powder should not be consumed with oxalic acid-rich foods (such as spinach) to avoid causing stones. Pearl powder is cool in nature, so women should stop using it during menstruation. Pregnant women and those with a weak spleen and stomach should use it with caution. Individuals with allergies, especially those who are already allergic to pearl, should avoid using it.
