Gemstone Healing: a Widely-held Belief

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

Most individuals see gems (or gemstones) strictly as decoration, such as gemstone beads; that is, jewellery to adorn merely for aesthetical purposes. But stones are also trusted to have many medicinal powers, such as (depending on the gem) the ability to encourage self-confidence, concentration, relieve headaches and stress, promote a calm mind, and encourage positivity.

This article will cast an eye on a small selection of gemstones and their supposed medicinal powers. A disavowal before we go any further : The details of this article are grounded on common beliefs, so there can be no scientific proof as to the effectiveness of such stones and their claimed recuperative properties.

Amethyst
Amethyst calms the mind and boosts increased harmony and serenity. It keeps down self-destructive inclinations and aids self-healing. Amethyst also confers wisdom and honesty on the wearer.

Moonstone
Amerliorates the emotions, increases the forces of intuition and aids the ability to access the subconscious.

Sodalite

The above stones are just a small selection of gems that are believed to have healing properties. The only true way to realise if these gemstones can work for you is to wear such gems if you suffer from a complaint that a gemstone is claimed to help ease.
