Although the names of Shi Jue Ming and Jue Ming Zi are similar, their specific effects are quite different. Let's take a look at the effects and functions of Shi Jue Ming, a type of shellfish.
Cooling and Heat-clearing
Shi Jue Ming is cold in nature and enters the Liver meridian. This type of medicinal herb contains a lot of cold energy. After consumption, it can neutralize the heat in the body, effectively clearing heat and reducing fire, especially for excessive Liver fire.
Liver Protection and Eye Brightening
The eyes are greatly influenced by the Liver. Excessive internal heat in the Liver can lead to symptoms such as dizziness, headache, and red eyes. Shi Jue Ming has a good function of reducing Liver fire, which can protect the Liver and brighten the eyes.
Supplementing Calcium
Shi Jue Ming contains a high amount of calcium carbonate, accounting for 80% of its weight. When used in traditional Chinese medicine, it often requires long hours of boiling, which can dissolve a lot of calcium ions in the medicinal liquid. Drinking it has a good effect of supplementing calcium.
Antibacterial and Anti-inflammatory
The hydrolysate of Jue Ming contains a certain amount of cholesterin. Experiments have shown that this substance has a strong inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and other bacteria. Therefore, Shi Jue Ming has an anti-infection effect. It can be used topically or taken orally, both of which have antibacterial effects.
Hemostasis
Calcium carbonate has a good astringent effect. In addition, this type of substance is dry and has a strong water-absorbing ability. When there is bleeding from external trauma, Shi Jue Ming can be ground into powder, sieved, and sprinkled on the wound. Gently compressing it can quickly stop the bleeding.
