According
to
Chinese
medicine,
pure
gold
is
the
most
valuable
substance
that
can
be
delivered
to
a
cell.
9999th pure gold restores the equilibrium of positive and negative cell polarities, which can often be reversed in stressful situations.
In Asia, pure gold chains to be worn around the wrist or ankle are frequently given as wedding or birth gifts. Via the meridian system, the
harmonic vibrations of this material are transmitted to the whole body, thereby reducing stress.
In the skin, stress will result in the reversal of the natural positive (Yang) and negative (Yin) poles. The positive pole becomes negative and vice
versa !V the Yang wave peak becomes a trough and the Yin wave trough becomes a peak. This is the initial cause for the formation of lines
associated with the loss of the skin!&s natural elasticity.
The hard skin of the epidermis also contributes significantly to the formation of lines. As soon as the cell division activity of the basal layer begins
to decline with age, the skin will need substantial assistance from outside. Women are particularly susceptible to early !V frequently premature !V
lines and wrinkles. Lipids (ceramide), the molecular !'mortar!( between chitin cells, become less abundant, more permeable and more sensitive.
The resulting cracks lead to the formation of the first lines. Very fine gold dust can be deposited in these tiny depressions. This not only replaces
lost substances, but the filling of these depressions results in the smoothing of the skin surface. Pure gold also acts as a reinforcing structure: the
stability of the skin is restored from the inside out.
Apply gold foil on outer skin can produce negative gold ion which can be as a carrier and help active ingredients penetrate into skin. The outer
skin acts as a main !'defensive zone!( against harmful substance, but also blocks up the path for helpful substance penetration. Gold can
energize the contacted skin and be induced to be negative gold ion, which can !'open!( the !'defensive zone!( and help to carry helpful substance
into the inner skin. It also have micro-current to correspond to general human bio-current, which works on skin disorder to be more healthy by
normalizing the unstable bio-current.
