What are the benefits of yak horn bracelets?

Yaks are a type of livestock that live on the Tibetan Plateau. Unlike ordinary domestic cattle, yaks are more wild. Not only do they look very ferocious, but they are also larger in size. In Tibet, yak horns are a good thing because they can be used to make very beautiful jewelry and are very popular among girls. So, what are the benefits of wearing yak horn bracelets?

According to the "Chinese Medical Annals" and "Compendium of Materia Medica", ox horn is cold, sour and salty in nature, and can dispel dampness, clear heat and detoxify. It has been an important part of traditional Chinese medicine since ancient times, and has the effects of calming qi and dispelling cold, clearing away heat and dispersing toxins, cooling blood and calming the nerves, soothing the mind and refreshing the brain, and lowering blood pressure and blood lipids. Folk tradition believes that wearing ox horn ornaments can protect you from evil and ensure peace at home. Modern people are usually under great pressure and often feel weak and exhausted. Wearing a string of ox horn beads is not only good for the body, but also for the mind.
