Healing Crystals Explained

Each crystal has a different healing property.








Healing crystals are used in different ways. It is the energies from these crystals that give them their healing powers. Crystals can be used in conjunction with reflexology, chakra cleansing and even alone for their healing properties. Knowing the basics of crystal healing can help anyone benefit from the use of this form of alternative therapy.








How Crystals Work


There is no scientific proof of the healing abilities of crystals, but according to "The Crystal Healer" it has been shown that crystals do have vibrational properties which both generate an electrical response to temperature change and generate a voltage in response to mechanical stress. Whether these are the reasons crystals help with healing both mentally and physically it is not certain, but many people do believe they help.


Benefits of Crystals


It is said that crystals help to improve a person's general state of well-being and they can also help to reduce and remove the symptoms of many different diseases. This theory is agreed upon in both "The Crystal Healer" and "The Crystal Bible." Crystals are not only used for internal and external physical issues, but they are also used to help with mental issues, including stress, anxiety, depression and related illnesses like insomnia.


Uses of Crystals Part 1


One of the main uses of crystals for healing, according to "The Complete Guide To Crystal Chakra Healing," is for the healing and balancing of chakras. There are seven main chakras at different points along a straight path down the body. When these chakras are not balanced it is believed to cause illness. Each chakra is ruled by a different color and placing a stone of the correct color on the right area and meditating on it is believed to align the chakras.


Uses of Crystals Part 2


Other uses of crystals include reflexology and general healing. Using a crystal in the form of a wand for reflexology can have better benefits than just using the fingers for this touch therapy. According to "The Art of Reflexology," this form of alternative therapy uses pressure points on the feet, hands and inner ears to heal different organs and/or areas of the body. Some crystals can even be placed on a specific area of the body to help heal that area. An example of this would be using the moonstone, placed on the abdomen, to help relieve menstrual pain and cramping.
