Gem therapy is a natural way to care for the body with minerals and crystals; it's that simple. This is an ancestral technique used to relieve pain, harmonize and balance the mind, reduce stress, or for self-healing.
Considered an alternative energy medicine by many, this technique is simple and effective, and highly accessible. However, the mineral world is known for its wide variety of properties that can help to improve a plethora of pathologies.
Gem therapy gained popularity in the 70s when the New Age was in full throttle. As we stated in the beginning, the belief in healing stones dates back to the dawn of time.
For example, in Ancient Rome people bathed in hot water, and then, lied down on cold marble right after, to avoid certain types of pain. Native Americans and Australians used stones and aromatic plants in saunas, and in the Shang dynasty in China, healing methods were also used. One widespread application was to place hot stones on your womb to fight menstrual pain.
According to gem therapy (as well as other types of alternative medicine), some physical issues that we have are due to improper energy circulation in the body. This has a lot do with the chakras or energetic points that we have in our bodies.
On this note, using gems and crystals correctly can help to get our energy flowing again. To achieve this, we need to place certain stones in the right places.
The therapeutic effects you can expect vary, depending on the composition and color of each stone.
