Healing Power of Stones and Crystals

Healing Power of Stones and Crystals
The healing power of stones have been used and documented since the ancient times. Read on to find out about one of the most profound energy tools and the amazing benefits of crystal healing stones.


A form of alternative medicine technique, crystal healing has been used since time immemorial for spiritual, emotional, and physical healing. From the stereotypical fortune teller with her crystal ball, to ancient writings and religious texts, crystal healing stones and precious, non-precious gemstones, have seemingly formed an integral part of human history. This mysterious science uses healing crystals and gemstones for strengthening the body and resolving issues and patterns. For all those who are wondering as to how crystals can affect the body with raised eyebrows, here is a rundown on the healing power of stones.

How Does Crystal Healing Work?
The basis of using crystal healing stones in alternative therapy, lies in the belief that crystals have energies and frequencies that work via these vibrations to re-tune the energy systems. This improves the overall health of the patient. Mined from the surface of the earth, these crystals come from an abundance of minerals, which have forged these stones from the chemical impurities, earth and solar emissions, and radiation. There are different crystal healing stones available in a wide variety of colors, shapes, and energies. Since each stone emits different vibrations, the choice of the stone corresponds to its healing vibrations and its physical affliction of the individual. So how do you know which stone to choose, from the hundreds available in the market? Here is a list of some popular crystal healing stones and their effects.
