What is the role of realgar cinnabar

When did you first hear about realgar? What was it like? I still remember the first time I heard about realgar was in the Legend of the New White Snake. Mr. Xu asked Bai Suzhen to drink realgar, and Bai Suzhen showed her true form. From then on, I knew that snakes are afraid of realgar; when did you first hear about cinnabar? What was it like? I still remember the first time I heard about cinnabar was in a history book. The First Emperor ordered Taoists to extract the elixir of life, and the Taoists used cinnabar as the raw material to extract the elixir. I only know a little about the functions of realgar and cinnabar, because TV series and non-traditional Chinese medicine books do not give detailed introductions, so today let us take a detailed look at the functions of realgar and cinnabar.

The role of cinnabar

1. Cinnabar, originally known as Dansha, was first recorded in Ben Jing. Because our ancestors were influenced by the practice of refining medicine from local soil, they often exaggerated the effects of this product when describing it, even to the point of having a feudal and superstitious tone. According to clinical care, cinnabar has two functions: tranquilizing the mind and promoting sleep, as well as removing toxins. Oral administration is mainly used to calm the mind, while external application is used to remove toxins.

2. For symptoms such as palpitations, insomnia, epilepsy, and madness, cinnabar is usually used to calm the mind and help sleep. Cinnabar is found in many well-known prescriptions such as Cinnabar Anshen Pills, Cizhu Pills, Niuhuang Qingxin Pills, Angong Niuhuang Pills, Zhibao Pills, and Zixuedan, all of which are used for its effect of calming the mind and soothing the nerves.

3. Do not take this product excessively or continuously to prevent mercury poisoning. It cannot be calcined with fire because liquid mercury will dissolve when exposed to fire and it is poisonous.
