Lithotherapy
is a non-traditional old healing technique using stones and minerals. It has
been used for a long time throughout the history. It is not based on scientific
researches though it got popular among those who respect and apply folk
medicine.
Lithotherapy
is a form of homeopathic therapy in which various semi-precious and precious
gemstones or minerals are potentized and used to treat various diseases.
Crystals
are one of the ancient matters of the Earth. Their structure and inner fabric
is one of the most well organized and harmonious constitutions of nature. They
carry the wisdom of millions years inside. Rocks have been used for medical
purposes since time immemorial.
Lithotherapy,
from Greek root lithos (stone) and «therapeia» as therapy. This movement in
medicine originated in 70s in the time of New Age. Though the belief in healing
effect of stones was widely known back in the past. The stones belong to one of
the ancient cures in use of therapy for physical and spiritual illnesses.
The purpose
of lithotherapy is to strengthen the health status. Every stone impacts its own
effect on a particular zone, our physical and mental condition. Gems may be worn
regularly built in necklaces, bracelets or any other jewelry. During the healing
procedure stones may be just applied to particular zones for some time. However,
minerals and gems cannot be used as they exist in nature. They need to be processed
and purified. They may be cleaned in the sun, with the distilled water or in
any other way. Then the minerals should be ‘charged' to be able to give their
energy during the healing procedure.
During lithotherapy
procedures the body receives the vibrations that the stones emit due to their
internal structure and the memory of their atoms.
Lithotherapy
is based on pseudo-medical and mystical features of minerals.
- Effect by
the stone color. It is known that colors emit vibrations (light). These
vibrations are also capable to give energies to the body. This technique is
known as chromotherapy. Vibrations regenerate the balance of the assumed
energetic dissonance.
- Effect by
the magnetic field of the stone.
- Oligotherapy
effect. When you touch your skin with the stone or drink the water where the stone
is in, you consume oligo-elements (vitamins and metals). Oligotherapy uses
small doses of individual trace minerals for therapeutic support, supplementing
the necessary minerals for enzymatic functions. Oligotherapy remedies are
considered to be catalysts that speed up metabolism at the cellular level.
- Effect by
application of stones to particular zones on the body.
