Healing Properties of Gemstones

Crystal healing is a Complementary & Alternative Medicine in which crystals and other stones are used to promote healing, improve emotional distress and protect against disease. The crystals act as a conduit for Qi (Chinese Medicine) or Prana (Ayurveda) and allow positive healing energies to move into the body and/or negative energy to move out of the body. The use of crystals for healing is documented as far back as the ancient Egyptians and Sumerians some 6,000 years ago and different crystals affect the body-mind in different ways.
