The Benefits and Taboos of Wearing Jade: Make Sure You Wear It Right!

As the ancient saying goes, "A nobleman never parts with his jade without reason." China has long been known as the "Kingdom of Jade," where jade is regarded as a companion to humans. Not only is it used as jewelry, decoration, or ornaments, but it also contains abundant mineral elements that benefit the body, promoting health and warding off disasters. This is why people often say, "Jade nurtures humans, and humans nurture jade." So, what are the benefits of wearing jade, and what taboos should you be aware of?

The Benefits of Wearing Jade

Ancient medical texts describe jade as "the finest of stones, sweet in taste, neutral in nature, and non-toxic." Chemical analysis reveals that jade contains various trace elements beneficial to the human body, such as zinc, magnesium, iron, copper, selenium, chromium, manganese, and cobalt. Wearing jade allows these elements to be absorbed through the skin, activating cell tissues and enhancing the immune system. Long-term wear of jade bracelets, combined with gentle massage, can not only help alleviate blurred vision but also replenish energy and nourish the spirit.
