The role and functions of the spleen

But when we talk about body and physical health, jade is often associated with spleen health . Not by chance in the native American languages ​​the name of the jade translates into "spleen stone" .

The spleen is an organ often underestimated, the safeguarding of its functions is however essential for maintaining physical health.

The spleen is known as the "cemetery of red blood cells", as it deals with the degradation and absorption of blood cells at the end of life.

However, it is also fundamental for the storage of special lymphocytes specialized in the prevention of blood infections and finally acts as a venous blood reserve .

Jade and spleen

By ensuring the health of the spleen, jade helps prevent the formation of stones, both renal and biliary, and prevents the causes of some forms of abdominal cramps .

In addition to being used to prevent problems with the spleen, jade is also used to recover from problems with the spleen or from operations on the same organ .

Jade helps eliminate toxins from the blood, renews the vital fluid and helps to make it flow, optimizing the level of fluidity and maintaining a good pH and a good ratio between salts in the blood .

This is also reflected in the health of the joints, which reverse, or at least slow down, the calcification processes due to a non-optimal pH, thus prolonging its longevity.

The same thing happens for the voice, as a good blood pH level has an important effect on the larynx and vocal cords .

Also for this reason, in ancient times Chinese doctors gave the singers a jade powder mixed with special herbs to be ingested to improve their performance.
