Traditional Uses

In traditional Chinese practice, Mi Tuo Seng has historically been reserved for external applications, often ground into powders or blended into pastes and ointments by herbal practitioners. It was traditionally associated with topical skin-care formulas in folk herbalism. Because it is a mineral substance, classical texts consistently direct it toward external use rather than internal consumption, and modern buyers should treat it strictly as an external-use material.
