Rose Quartz promotes feelings of self-confidence, friendship and love.
Gemstones have been used for therapeutic physical and emotional healing in such diverse cultures as the Native American shamanism and practices such as Chinese medicine. The use of therapeutic gemstones has roots even within Indian Ayurvedic medicine, according to Gemstone Therapy Online. The basic theory behind the beneficial effects of gemstones is that each type of gemstone encompasses a different frequency and can express a different blockage within the body.
Amethysts
Amethyst is said to help with depression, anxiety and boosts immunity.
In ancient times, amethyst was known as the "stone of sobriety." It is said to help the user to recover from addictive tendencies, relationships and to relieve stress. Amethyst is also said to help develop intuition. Amethyst's violet-color is known to bring peace. It is said to help improve memory skills, strengthen the immune system and the body's metabolism while controlling temperament.
Pearls
Pearls, the "stone of sincerity," are believed to balance emotions.
Pearls, the calcified stone made from shellfish, are usually cream in color or white. However, blue, dark gray or black variations of pearls exist. Pearls are believed to reduce headaches, hypertension and exhaustion. Pearls may be able to aid in preventing strokes and help with the digestive system and reduce the chance of ulcers. Pearls also have water and lunar elements, which is why they are believed to balance emotions and reduce stress.
Rubies and Rose Quartz
The romantic stone, rubies, as well as rose quartz, can attract love.
Rubies are usually a deep shade of red. However, sometimes rubies are pink or lavender. Rubies can benefit the circulatory system and the heart. According to Libary.ThinkQuest Online, they are good for the eye health, the circulatory system and the detoxification of the body. Many believe that Rose Quartz can also be transposed with rubies. Rose Quarts helps to lower stress, clear out jealousy and it is also a romantic stone.
Crystals
Some practitioners believe that crystals can promote speed of healing.
Much like snowflakes, there are no two crystals that are identical. Library.Thinkquest Online states that if a crystal is squeezed, it will release internal energy. This energy is why many believe that crystals have the ability to focus life energy by transferring energy from the crystal to our body's silicon. Crystals are also believed to remove negative energy within a space. For example, if you place a bowl of crystals in the center of a table, they could remove negative energy within that space, such as the result of someone stating negative comments.
