As a planner who often stays up late to finish proposals, "insomnia" and "stiff shoulders and neck" have long been my two "workplace badges". I've tried drinking milk before bed, using sleep-aid patches, and even followed the trend to buy an aroma diffuser, but either the effect was weak or the fragrance was too strong to fall asleep. Until last month's birthday, my best friend gave me a string of handmade Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Five Elements Incense Bead Bracelet. I originally thought it was just a good-looking accessory, but after wearing it for half a month, not only did my insomnia improve a lot, but my anxiety at work also eased significantly - today I want to talk about this "healing item" in detail!
First of all, its appearance deserves praise. Different from the monotonous jade and wooden bracelets on the market, this string of incense beads is dark brown round beads with delicate lines made by hand on the surface. Each one is unique, showing a unique "handmade warmth". The matching natural agate spacer beads and silver tail clasp are simple and elegant. When I wear it with a commuter suit, it's not obtrusive, and it can also match a literary sense with casual clothes on weekends. The most surprising thing is its fragrance - not the strong smell of industrial essence, but a light medicinal fragrance. It has the warm sweetness of sandalwood when smelled up close, and the freshness of pine needles when placed on the desk, which makes people relax when smelled.
Later, I found out that both the fragrance and texture hide "real craftsmanship" - it is formulated strictly according to the TCM Five Elements theory: sandalwood belongs to Fire, agarwood to Earth, pine needle to Wood, borneol to Water, and frankincense to Gold. The five authentic medicinal materials are personally selected by experienced artisans. It is said that each batch of medicinal materials must be dried in the sun for 30 days, then ground by hand with a stone mortar for more than 4 hours, and passed through a 200-mesh sieve before use. The step of "kneading beads" is very particular. Artisans have to knead by hand for 1 hour to form an incense dough, let it "awaken" for 72 hours, then roll each into a circle, polish repeatedly more than 5 times, and finally air-dry naturally for 30 days. No glue or essence is added throughout the process. No wonder the beads feel delicate and warm. They will gradually form a patina after being worn for a long time, becoming more shiny. Friends in the collectible jewelry circle all asked me where I found it.
The core reason why it is "healing" is the effect brought by the fragrance. Now I put it on as soon as I get home from work. When I curl up on the sofa and scroll through my phone, the fragrance will slowly spread with the movement of my hands. After about 10 minutes, I feel that my tight shoulders and neck relax a lot. The most amazing thing is the sleep-aiding effect. I used to toss and turn until 1 o'clock to fall asleep, but now I put it by my pillow and smell the light medicinal fragrance, I can fall asleep in less than half an hour, and I rarely wake up at night. I feel much more energetic when I wake up in the morning.
I also recommended it to friends around me: a colleague who often has dysmenorrhea wore it for a week. She said that when she applied it to her abdomen during menstruation with the bracelet, the warm feeling lasted longer and her dysmenorrhea was relieved. I bought a string for my mother as a Mother's Day gift. She has rheumatism and holds the beads in her hand when her knees hurt on rainy days. She said the warm fragrance can relieve the pain and always shows off to her square dance partners, "This is a handmade incense bead bought by my daughter." I have to say that its gift box is also a bonus - gold-stamped box + handmade certificate, and an efficacy instruction card inside. Whether it is for elders, friends or collectible jewelry lovers, it seems particularly sincere.
At first, I was worried that the handmade incense beads would be "delicate" and the fragrance would fade after wearing for a long time. Unexpectedly, after wearing it for more than a month, the fragrance is still obvious. Later, I asked the seller and found that because it is natural medicinal materials + ancient air-drying method, the fragrance can last for 6-12 months. When not in use, put it in the attached flannel bag to extend the fragrance life. Moreover, its elastic cord is very wear-resistant. I have never broken it when typing or cooking with the bracelet on. A friend with sensitive skin also didn't have allergies after wearing it. The quality really stands the test.
Now this bracelet has become my "personal companion". I wear it at work to soothe the liver and relieve depression, use it to help sleep before bed, and occasionally play with it as a collectible jewelry. If you are also troubled by insomnia and anxiety, or want to find a gift that is "good-looking, connotative and sincere", this handmade TCM ancient method Five Elements Incense Bead Bracelet is really worth buying - it is more than an accessory, but also a "life healer" that can accompany you for a long time.
