The quick explanation is this. Your body needs vitamins and minerals to operate properly and gemstones are the mineral kingdom. Millions of dollars are spent on mineral water or mineral baths. You can use gemstones as tools to boost or improve your health for very little money. Many of today's medicines are made from minerals. Simply holding them for a few minutes, wearing gemstone jewelry or meditating with them will give your body some of the health tools it needs to function properly. You can carry them in your pockets, put them under your pillow or mattress. beside your bed, around your room or make your own mineral water.
Have a headache, neck ache or fingers/wrist sore? Are you wearing jewelry? Perhaps you jewelry is causing the pain. When gemstones are used for too long or left in a concentrated location, a mineral buildup will happen. Heavy metals will also cause problems when worn next to the skin for an extended period of time. Take off your jewelry and see how your body responds.
Learning to use gemstones is easy but you need to know a few things about them. Some stones should not be used directly in your water as they can be more harmful because they contain heavy metals or mercury. These stones should be handled carefully and used mostly in your environment. Others may break down in water or dissolve completely. Always check out the properties of a new gemstones to know the best way to use them.
