Put the sparkle back in your life with gem therapy

For over 5,000 years, various precious stones have been valued not only for their beauty or rarity but also for their medicinal properties. Throughout Asia, medicines are, to this day, produced from finely powdered gemstones. The powders are microscopic crystals and, unlike chemical medications, do not dissolve in water, are not absorbed by the body and are eliminated by the digestive tract.

In energy theory, the blood circulating around the stomach and intestines, for example, is thought to be energized with the specific frequencies dictated by the color of the gem powder. The blood then conveys the energy to other parts of the body.

While the medicinal use of gemstones was once enjoyed only by the wealthy, it is now also available via electronic gem-lamp therapy. The process works by inserting relevant gems into lamps which are said to gently pulse the gemstones' curative energies onto those parts of the body in need of treatment.

AN AGE-OLD TREATMENT

Gem therapy is perhaps the first truly non-chemical energy medicine to be invented. To receive the benefits of gemstones, or dielectric energy, wearing gemstones close to the skin will have a gentle effect but may take longer to work than gem-lamp therapy.
