Pearls have been used medicinally in China for more than 2,000 years. 19 ancient medical books, including "Ming Yi Bie Lu" from the Three Kingdoms period, "Bencao Jingji" from the Liang Dynasty, "Haiyao Bencao" from the Tang Dynasty, "Kaibao Bencao" from the Song Dynasty, "Bencao Gangmu" from the Ming Dynasty, and "Leigong Yaoxing Fu" from the Qing Dynasty, all have clear records of the therapeutic effects of pearls.

(1) Tao Hongjing of the Liang Dynasty said in his Compendium of Materia Medica that pearls “can treat eye cataracts and stop diarrhea”. The Tang Dynasty's "Bencao Bencao" believes that pearls can improve eyesight, eliminate dizziness, and stop diarrhea. During the Yuan Dynasty, merchants often added honey and pearl powder to water for drinking, believing that it could both nourish the body and prevent heatstroke.

(2) Li Shizhen of the Ming Dynasty attached more importance to the pharmacological effects of pearls. He believed that the medicinal effect of pearls was to beautify the skin. Therefore, he wrote in Compendium of Materia Medica: "Pearls are salty, sweet, cold and non-toxic. They can soothe the heart and eyes. Applying pearls on the face can make people moisturized and have a good complexion. Applying them on the hands and feet can remove skin acne, eliminate phlegm, remove facial spots, and stop diarrhea. It can eliminate fever in children and calm the soul. It can stop nocturnal emission, relieve acne and treat toxins. ... It can make the skin shiny and white."

(3) During the reign of Emperor Wuzong of Tang, Li Yan, the Prime Minister Li Deyu used a decoction of pearl powder, realgar and cinnabar to make a soup. Each cup cost about 30,000 yuan, and the residue was discarded after three decoctions. Alchemy was popular at that time. People believed that taking pearl powder, realgar and other substances after being refined could make them immortal and have a youthful appearance.

The Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China and the Dictionary of Chinese Materia Medica both point out that pearls have the effects of calming the nerves, improving eyesight, removing cataracts, detoxifying and promoting tissue regeneration. Modern research also shows that pearls have unique effects in improving human immunity, delaying aging, removing freckles and whitening the skin, and supplementing calcium.
