The Healing Power of Gemstones
For centuries, people have believed in the power of certain gemstones to heal ailments, strengthen hopes and ward off evil. Even if you’re not sold on the powers of crystals, it’s an intriguing concept.
While there’s no scientific evidence that crystals can heal, they’ve been a part of what we now call “alternative medicine” for centuries. It’s an interesting idea, and certainly won’t hurt—but of course, don’t rely on them—see your medical professional first.
How do crystals heal?
Crystal healers believe that both bodies and crystals have vibrations. By aligning our vibrations with the crystal’s, the energy surges to us and frees it to flow throughout the body. This process is even more powerful when we link it with a specific intention for what we want to bring or change in ourselves.
