Healing stones - The power of adornment, healing and protection
As far as the Stone Age, men and women wore crystal jewelry and talismans. They had a protective as well as a decorative function, guarding their wearer against harm.
Crystals have been used for millenia to heal and bring balance.There are numerous myths and legends associated with gems. Some tell of cursed stones; other of stones with special powers of healing, or that protect or give good luck to the wearer.
Crystals today carry the same power and jewellery can be selected not just on the basis of its outward attraction.
Belief in the healing properties of gems has a very long history, as the rituals of medicine men in ancient tribes attest. Crystal healers today believe that each gem has the power to influence the health and well-being of a specific part of the body. The light reflected off stones placed on vital nerve points is though to be absorbed by the body, supplying it with healing energy. Crystals heal holistically. They work through resonance and vibration.
Crystlas are used in modern medical practicies. They are piezoelectric, which means that electricity, and sometimes light, is produced by compression.This property is harnessed in ultrasound machines, which use a crystals to produce a sound wave. Sound is now being applied at the leading edge of surgery.
