According to etymology, lithotherapy comes to us from the Greek words lithos and therapeia which, respectively, mean “stone” and “therapy”, therefore, stone therapy. It is up to you to attach importance to it or not, but it seems, according to lithotherapists, that certain stones and crystals have particularities that can help you on a daily basis in terms of physical, psychological and spiritual health. This practice is also associated with the chakras, a popular Indian tradition which represents the seven points of vital energy, but also with the principle of meridians which are applied in acupuncture.
It is a holistic approach, therefore centered on the individual, and which, depending on the stones and crystals worn on oneself, would have certain beneficial effects.
Fine stones and their benefits
Amethyst
An interesting stone (although they all are) is amethyst. It has related effects to emerald jade since it will help the mind achieve a state of calm, and would therefore be beneficial for people suffering from anxiety. It will also influence the physical appearance by having a “muscle relaxer” effect for the upper body.
Howlite
On the other hand, if you suffer from insomnia, lithotherapy practitioners will refer you to howlite which is a beautiful white stone with gray features, which is soothing and would thus promote good sleep, allowing you to get up in good shape at the start of the day. Morning. Regarding physical virtues, this stone would help at the skeletal level in order to have strong bones, and also for digestion.
Lapis lazuli
And if you are ever an artist lacking inspiration, lapis lazuli will be your reference! This iconic stone which has spanned the ages (notably for the queens of Egypt where it was very popular for ornamental objects), is renowned for promoting creativity. On a physical level, it would have effects on several things, including problems related to the epidermis and also blood pressure problems. It goes without saying that despite all the properties attributed to crystals and fine stones, they do not replace medication for the health problems encountered, and would rather serve as “support”, in addition to being a superb piece of jewelry!
What does this have to do with the jewelry I make?
These are just a few examples, and there are many more! In fact, there are almost as many fine stones as there are colors. One thing is certain, whether you wear them as earrings, a necklace, or a wrist or ankle bracelet, fine stones are not only considered to have therapeutic power, but they also constitute a wonderful piece of jewelry, which it either as a pearl or as a pendant! We just have to find what we like, and for that, I invite you to visit my online store.
