Its anti-convulsive and sedative effects are weaker than those of Margarita Zhen Zhu.
Against dizziness, tinnitus and palpitations, however, its effect exceeds that of Margarita Zhen Zhu.
It is produced from the calcined shells of pearl-bearing shellfish.
It is widely used in ophthalmology.
It is said to calm the Liver, anchor Yang, settle the Shen, calm childhood convulsions, reduce Heat-induced focal distention and superficial visual obstruction, and treat hematemesis, epistaxis and metrorrhagia.
Zhen Zhu Mu and Concha Haliotidis Shi Jue Ming both cool Liver Heat and sedate Liver Yang Rising, and are commonly combined for these disorders; Zhen Zhu Mu additionally enters the Heart channel to calm the Spirit, whereas Shi Jue Ming enters only the Liver channel.
Zhen Zhu Mu and Margarita Zhen Zhu have comparable actions, though Zhen Zhu Mu cannot nourish Yin or generate flesh; it is used mainly to calm Liver Yang Rising with headache, dizziness, tinnitus and insomnia, or to cool the Liver when Liver Heat has produced red eyes and photophobia.
Calcined Mother-of-Pearl, Duan Zhen Zhu Mu, reduces Stomach hyperacidity and is applied topically as a paste blended with Vaseline or vegetable oil for burns.
