Jade Roller - The new BUT ancient discovery beauty secret
What is Jade?
Jade has been used for centuries in East Asia to promote and maintain health and beauty in many ways. Ancient medical wisdom considered jade as a healing gem for detoxifying and healing stressed organs, for strengthening the body’s natural defenses, and for boosting healing powers. Pumiced jade in particular has been a long-time favorite for skin health. Jade has always been viewed as a source of healing energy. Medical practitioners from long ago were already aware of its ability to warm the skin. This was believed to be one of the properties of jade that enhanced its use as a healing gem.
Natural skin care products commonly include herbal ingredients. Traditional East Asian formulas have also included jade powder to enhance skin health. Modern science has discovered what it is about jade that makes it a valuable addition to any good formula.
The Science Behind Jade
Although subtle energies are difficult to measure with any kind of modern laboratory instrumentation, one such property of jade is easily detected. It turns out that jade is a natural transmitter of far infrared rays. This type of energy ray extends beyond the red color in our spectrum of visible light, past infrared, well-beyond human detection. Scientists can measure far infrared rays easily, in part because it transmits low levels of heat. This is the property of jade that is thought to explain some of its health benefits. It warms up and boosts the microcirculation in skin.
The Healing Energy of Jade
One of the earliest modern studies on energy and skin health relates to the healing properties of far infrared rays. Based on a study that a source of far infrared energy raised skin temperature, which increased blood flow in the small blood vessels of the skin.
A review of this phenomenon by scientists at Humboldt University in Berlin was published in Biomedizinische Technik in 2000. This review cited the potential of far infrared rays for promoting skin health.
Although it is relatively simple to study far infrared rays in laboratory circumstances, as we know, jade is a natural transmitter of far infrared. The study, specifically showed that a skin product containing jade powder raised the temperature of facial skin an average of one degree Celsius. Their study even provided temperature-detecting photos of subjects who used the jade powder product on one cheek and a placebo on the other. The cheek treated with the jade powder product was always visibly warmer.
The Jade Advantage
Modern research has only just begun to provide scientific evidence for the healing properties of jade. Future studies will undoubtedly continue to show how ancient wisdom already made the most of this gem’s ability to promote health and beauty. Meanwhile, the skin care formulas containing jade that are now available most certainly provide the jade advantage to anyone who uses them.
