What are the benefits of ebony to the human body?

Ebony, also known as sunken wood, is a general name for many kinds of wood. It is usually made of vegetation such as locust trees, nanmu trees, camphor trees, willow trees, etc. that are buried underground and then slowly formed in an oxygen-deficient environment for a long time. It is usually used as a decoration and has many benefits for the human body. Let us now learn about some specific benefits of ebony for the human body.

First, ward off evil and pray for blessings. Ebony is a spiritual wood with a unique aura that can remove unclean things and calm the mind. Therefore, ebony products are often considered to be magical objects that can ward off evil spirits, eliminate disasters and ensure safety.

Second, remove odor and preserve. As we all know, carbon has adsorption properties and can absorb odors and water vapor in the air. Nowadays, people often use carbon to eliminate odors in refrigerators. After thousands of years of carbonization, ebony naturally has strong adsorption properties. It can absorb odors and moisture in the air, and has the effect of anti-corrosion, deodorization and air purification.

Third, decorative items. Ebony has been buried underground for a long time and has been in a high-pressure, oxygen-deficient environment for tens of thousands of years. It has the characteristics of hard texture, delicate touch, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and never fading. It can be used to make various jewelry accessories, furniture, sculptures and other handicrafts. Placing them indoors can not only prevent corrosion, remove odors and refresh the air, but can also be used for appreciation and collection.

Fourth, medicinal value. Li Shizhen recorded the medicinal value of ebony in "Compendium of Materia Medica": "Ebony is sweet, salty, neutral, and can detoxify. It is also used to treat cholera, vomiting and dysentery. Take the shavings and grind them into powder, then take with warm wine." Ebony emits a subtle fragrance, and smelling it often can make you refreshed and happy.

Therefore, when you find ebony, you might as well collect some. It is a rare and non-renewable resource. Carrying some ebony with you regularly has a good effect in detoxifying and removing odors. Many elderly people believe that it has the effect of warding off evil spirits and that its unique spirituality can ward off disasters and ensure safety.
