Gemstone Remedies

Gemstone healing is an alternative treatment that is rooted in the belief that humans have auras, and that the properties of these auras can be changed for the better by placing specific gemstones on or near the body. Doing this allows the healing energy of the gems to interact with the aura, thereby bringing it to a better state.

Like many alternative treatments that involve human life energy, one of the goals is to bring about balance in the energetic system. There are specific methods for using gems in this way, as well as detailed prescriptions for which gems to use and how. According to some, ancient cultures also had ways to bring about a gemstone remedy for stress, emotional problems, and even some physical conditions. Physical conditions that are made worse by emotional issues like stress or anxiety are the most responsive to such treatments.

Typically, gemstone healing starts with sessions with a trained practitioner. However, many practitioners also sell gems or gem-based products meant to be used at home. This allows their clients to maintain some of the benefits in between sessions.

While this concept may seem new, the ideas behind modern gemstone healing have been around for at least several decades if not longer. The prior iteration, crystal therapy, focused expressly on the use of crystalline gems for treatment. However, practitioners have found that other types of stones are also good for a gemstone remedy. Those that can be sanded into round shapes are especially sought after.

Of course, crystals of various kinds are still used, as well. Even diamonds have been put to this use. However, the wider selection makes it so that one no longer has to be rich to consider a gemstone remedy.
