LITHOTHERAPY: THE POWER OF STONES AND MINERALS

Lithotherapy, or the use of the healing properties of stones, is a method that humanity has been practicing worldwide for nearly five thousand years. Most often, we unconsciously stimulate our bodies with the energy of stones by wearing jewellery decorated with them. They may have the power to heal both mentally and physically. What is the power of stones? See for yourself.

Lithotherapy - an age-old discipline

Today, lithotherapy, i.e. treatment with natural stones, is viewed through the prism of alternative medicine. However, as a treatment method, lithotherapy was already known in ancient times, when Babylonian, Greek, Roman and Egyptian physicians used precious stones to improve the mental and physical health of their patients. In the Middle Ages, gemstones were used as a common medicine. Depending on the disease, the appropriate stone for the powder was ground and given to patients in this form. To this day, wealthy people in India use a drink made from hot milk and shredded emerald, sapphire, pearl or ruby crumbs to treat various ailments.

Positive energy from stones

According to the oriental mystical vision, each stone has a soul and is capable of accumulating, storing and emitting a wonderful and beneficial energy. Therefore, the healing power of the stones comes from this positive energy which, according to the principle of resonance, affects people. The chemical compounds of the stones and the human body contain the same bioelements. This is why man has so much in common with minerals and can use their energies. Depending on the vibration of the accumulated energy, the right stone can heal the human body, mind or emotions. If there is a lack of energy in the body, gemstones release it and thus make up the deficit. However, if it is too much, they do the opposite - they consume too much energy. And all this is done in order to restore the body's energy balance, to fight disease and to restore the free flow of energy in a healthy body.

How to use the power of stones?

Each stone purchased or found should be stored in separate sealed bags, away from any object that might interfere with its energy, such as a radio, television or other electrical device. Before each use, the stone should be thoroughly cleaned, preferably under running water. Precious stones that do not react to salt can also be placed in a salt container for several hours. A good method of cleaning stones is also to bury them in the ground for several hours. Sunlight or moonlight and stars can be used to enhance the positive energy from the stones.
