The Healing Power Of Gemstones

Gemstones have been thought to have recuperative powers since the dawn of time. While we all know that the best thing to do when having an ailment is to see your physician, it's fun to read about the healing powers traditionally assigned to gemstones!

Jade:

Jade has been long known as a gemstone that promotes love and wealth. It has also been believed that Jade can promote good health in the kidneys, heart, and stomach. Why has jade been thought of as such a remarkably lucky gemstone? Maybe it has to do with its placid green color.

Turquoise:

Turquoise is regarded as one of the most powerful protection and healing stones of all time. Among the ailments the stone has been known to treat include stomach upset, viral infections, rheumatism, and gout. It has also been believed that turquoise can purify body and soul.

Amber:

Technically, amber is not a gemstone, but more like an ancient fossil! However, its exquisite beauty has made it one of the most sought-after natural treasures. Amber is also traditionally believed to be a powerful natural healer, helping arthritis, headache, and ailments of the kidney, heart, and stomach.

Emerald:

The emerald has been regarded as a most powerful gemstone for all matters of the heart. The gemstone sacred to Venus, the goddess of love, it was believed that emeralds could not only fix one's love-life, but one's physical heart! It has also been thought of as central to the healing of the eye.

Red Coral:

The exotic and striking red coral has been used in jewelry and decorative objects for millennia, as well as regarded as a great protection against skin disease. Wear red coral against your skin, and bring yourself the freshness of the ocean from which it came!

Ruby:

The stunning ruby has been thought of as the gemstone of kings and nobility! Perhaps because of its deep red color, it has been traditionally linked to healing of the heart and regulation of blood flow. Rubies were also believed to increase fertility.

Sapphire:

Mental health is just as important as physical health -- and the calming sapphire is the perfect gemstone for peace of mind! It has been used to soothe nerves, prevent nightmares, and help get a good night's rest.
