The word “lithotherapy” * comes from the Greek “lithos” (stone) and “therapeia” (healing) and means “stone healing”. It is an alternative and unconventional medicine that aims to use the energy contained in stones and minerals to improve our daily well-being.
Healing properties were attributed to crystals and minerals already thousands of years ago: in ancient Egypt, in Indian texts of ayurveda or in early treatises of traditional Chinese medicine. The Celts, Aztecs, Mayans, many Asian peoples, as well as Native Americans, studied the science of minerals, always with the same goal: to improve our physical, mental and spiritual existence.
Eastern mysticism recognizes that each stone has not only a soul but also a memory of its creation, extending far beyond human history.
Furthermore, minerals and stones have the ability to collect, store and emit energy. Studies have shown that when placed around the head, they were even able to alter the recording of the encephalogram. This shows the power of the energy field within them.
For Eastern medicine, the psyche and soul are an inseparable unity, and health is nothing but the free flow of energy in the human body. When there is a lack of energy in the body, its excess, or blockage – then the body becomes ill. For hundreds of years, alternative medicine has used stones to restore the right energy balance.
* Special attention should be paid to the fact that lithotherapy is an unconventional and alternative medicine, which in no way replaces conventional medicine and cannot be treated as such. It is not aimed at treating specific diseases, but only at revitalizing our body, within the limits specified by it.
What connects humans to gemstones?
The same bio-elements that make up chemical compounds are found in both gemstones and the human body. Science confirms that our cell salts, fatty tissue, lymph, blood, nervous system have a structure similar to a crystal. Both man and stone are physical forms of vibration and energy. When you hold a gem in your hand, you hold a certain frequency compacted into matter, which reacts with you. This action can ultimately help you harmonize and bring your body back into balance.
Lithotherapy specialists claim that gems should be chosen intuitively – the ones we like are the ones we need at a given moment.
