What are the taboos of soaking medical stone in water

Medical stone is a mineral that contains many rare elements needed by the human body. Therefore, you can use medical stone to make tea, which can be a good supplement for some trace elements and minerals in the human body. At the same time, medical stone can be used as a medicinal material to treat diseases. Medical stone has strong adsorption capacity and has a good antibacterial effect. Although medical stone has made many contributions to mankind, it also has some taboos. Let’s learn about them below.

Characteristics of medical stone

1. Biological activity

After being soaked in water, medical stone can dissolve nearly 20 elements and minerals needed by the human body, such as K, Na, Ca, and Mg. It is an essential component of blood and body fluids, which can keep the body's medium in a weak alkaline state, thereby increasing the body's resistance to invading viruses; and harmful metal elements in liver and muscle cells can be replaced and excreted from the body, so medical stone mineralized water has the reputation of "cell detergent".

2. Adsorption

Due to the porosity of medical stone, it has strong adsorption capacity. It has a strong adsorption effect on heavy metal ions and toxins in water, can inhibit the growth rate of bacteria, remove heavy metals such as Hg, Pb, Cd, As, chlorides, cyanides and residual pesticides in sewage, and purify polluted or turbid water.

3. Mineralization

The beneficial elements in medical stone have a high dissolution rate. When medical stone is soaked in water, the water will be purified into mineralized water similar to mineral water. Long-term drinking can enhance the body's immune function and improve the body's ability to resist infection.

4. Water quality regulation

Medical stone has a two-way regulating effect on the content of macro- and trace elements in water and the pH value of water, bringing them into the optimal range required by the human body.

Toxic effects of medical stone

1. The mortality rate of mice soaked in cadmium solution, lead solution, arsenic trioxide solution, and mercury solution with Beipiao medical stone powder was reduced from 100% to 10%, 90% to 0%, and 100% to 70%, respectively, compared with those without Beipiao medical stone.

2. No death was observed after 72 hours of injection of 100% water decoction (equivalent to 30 g/kg of the original drug) into the tail vein of mice.
