Types of Crystals with Healing Properties
Minerals, including crystals, make up planet Earth. As a human, your biological connection to Earth requires minerals, air and water for survival. Crystals transmit and receive energy and vibrate at a constant rate, making them useful for devices such as computers and watches. Because each crystal transmits energy and oscillates at a single frequency, each type of crystal has certain properties assigned to it, based on healing uses throughout history. Crystals can assist you with physical, mental, emotional and spiritual healing, although scientists report these as placebo effects.
Amethyst
The purple amethyst crystal helps you sleep if you have insomnia and calms and relaxes you from emotional stress. Use amethyst to assist you in meditation. Amethyst also increases memory, decreases diabetes and strengthens your immune and cardiovascular systems-namely, your heart, blood and blood vessels. The amethyst draws in negative energies from any place, making this crystal useful at the workplace and in areas of healing, such as hospitals and therapist offices.
Aquamarine
Use aquamarine when you need to feel calm and if you suffer from anxiety. This blue-green crystal helps to improve your eyesight, helps relieve motion sickness and improves your immune system and cardiovascular system.
Bloodstone
Use bloodstone for all blood-related issues in your body. For example, bloodstone helps to detox your blood as well as your kidneys, spleen and liver. This dark-green stone dotted with red also keeps your circulation strong.
Carnelian
Carnelian works in a similar way as the bloodstone, detoxing your blood and liver. Use the carnelian stone to help relieve the pain of cramps, arthritis and the lower back. If you have allergies, wear the carnelian to help diminish its effects. Strengthen your kidneys, gallbladder, reproductive organs and pancreas with carnelian. Wear this orange and red stone as a ring or pendant for its aphrodisiac and confidence-building effects.
Citrine
Use citrine to detox your kidneys and your heart. This bright yellow crystal also helps keep your mind clear for better problem-solving, making it especially valuable to writers and students. Use citrine if you suffer from allergies or gastrointestinal problems like constipation, irritable bowel syndrome and gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Diamond
A diamond helps draw positive energy to the person wearing it. Diamonds increase energy to areas in the body needing healing.
Emerald
Use the emerald to balance your emotions. Emeralds also help balance your blood sugar and strengthen your lymphatic system (the vessels and spaces between your body's organs and tissues) as well as your cardiorespiratory system (your heart, lungs, blood and blood vessels).
Garnet
The red stone called garnet increases circulation in your body; strengthens your cardiovascular system, which includes balancing your blood pressure; helps with depression and enhances creativity, sexuality and prosperity.
Quartz (Clear, Rose and Smoky)
The clear quartz crystal helps bring harmony to your entire body, restoring it to overall health. If you have problems hearing, you can benefit from the energy of this crystal. Wear rose quartz to bring feelings of peace and calm-a good crystal to use if you have emotional problems. Use smoky quartz to ground yourself and to protect yourself from negative energies.
Ruby
This red crystal increases energy in the body and strengthens the cardiovascular system. According to Anne Bode, M.D. and Patrick Godwin, M.D of the Creighton University School of Medicine, "The ruby decreases the effects of infections, harmful cholesterol and blood clots."
Sapphire
Apply the sapphire to help treat depression, tuberculosis-an infectious lung disease involving coughing up phlegm-nosebleeds and burns.
Tigers Eye
The tigers eye, a brown and gold stone, grounds you, helping you to focus and concentrate-very handy for students. Tigers eye also helps to enhance your psychic development. Carry tigers eye to attract blessings into your life.
