What are the effects and functions of smoked yellow

People's understanding of realgar probably comes from a TV series. In ancient times, realgar was used very frequently, especially during the Dragon Boat Festival. People used it to drive away snakes and some insects with great effect. This is also the plot in the TV series we mentioned above, but many people do not fully understand the role of realgar. So, what are the effects and functions of fumigation?

First, what are the effects and functions of realgar wine? The main component of realgar wine is arsenic sulfide, which is the main raw material for extracting arsenic. Drinking realgar wine is equivalent to eating arsenic. Realgar wine contains strong carcinogens, which can cause damage to the liver even in small doses. Realgar wine has a corrosive effect. Therefore, taking realgar can easily cause poisoning. In mild cases, people will experience symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and even central nervous system paralysis, confusion, coma, etc. In severe cases, it can even cause death.

Second, the main ingredient is arsenic sulfide, but it will only be converted into arsenic trioxide after heating, so it generally has nothing to do with it. When I was a child, my mother would make a sachet with spices and realgar during the Dragon Boat Festival, and then smear some realgar on the chest and other places. As for realgar wine, she would not drink it. This is how I understand realgar wine. Modern medicine has proven that drinking realgar wine increases the probability of cancer (arsenic sulfide). If realgar wine is heated, of course many of its ingredients will be converted into arsenic, which will be poisonous. But I think it is not that scary, because our Chinese traditional medicine theory can explain drinking realgar wine. First, the amount of realgar in realgar wine is actually very small. Second, according to traditional Chinese medicine theory, poison can also be used as medicine. In ancient times, people drank realgar wine to expel roundworms. As for the amount, it is more difficult to control, so it is better for modern people not to drink realgar wine. After all, we all know that arsenic is a carcinogen. (In fact, we don’t even know how much additives we consume in the beverages and food we eat every day, and the scientific use of them is sometimes bullshit). In terms of medicinal use, Liushen Pills and Niuhuang Jiedu Tablets contain realgar ingredients, which is a way of fighting poison with poison, haha. By the way, cinnabar can also be turned into mercurochrome to kill bacteria and reduce inflammation.

What are the effects and functions of fumigation? Bone steaming fever (note: today's pulmonary tuberculosis). Use one liang of realgar and add it to one liter of urine. Take another stone slab that is one foot square, heat it with charcoal fire, pour realgar urine on the stone, put a thin felt on it, and let the patient take off his clothes and sit on the stone with the blanket on top to prevent any air from leaking in. After several times, the symptoms gradually alleviated. 2. Cough and vomiting caused by typhoid fever.
