Can gemstones heal?
People of every age and generation have loved and revered all things unique, beautiful and expensive. Gemstones are one of those things that are universally sought after by men and women, and the baby boomer generation is no exception. However, did you know that aside from being beautiful ornaments gemstones also have healing powers?
Yes, incredible as it may sound, many cultures believe this to be true. People living in all ages belonging to different religions, cultures and races have found certain inherent powers within these precious stones to cure and heal and prevent illnesses and even ward off misfortunes or the evil-eye.
the baby boomer generation may find it interesting to know which stones purportedly have what powers. Let us have a look at some:
1. Amethyst: Amethyst is believed to be a symbol of sobriety as it originates from the Greek word amethusos meaning “not drunk”. According to psychological articles and experts in the field, it helps with addictions such as alcohol, sex and food. It also brings out the spiritual and intuitive side of an individual. Its calming effects help in relaxing and overcoming stress and anxiety.
2. Aquamarine: Since olden times, sailors have considered Aquamarine to be a lucky stone; probably because of its color. It is believed that the person wearing it gains confidence and courage, as well as remains safe on travels.
3. Garnet: Garnets are considered as symbols of love and devotion; and are said to have the power to increase endurance and liveliness.
4. Jade: This is the stone of fidelity. Psychological articles have reported that the baby boomer generation is already believed to live a longer and healthier life than previous generations but in case we are looking for longevity, Jade might be a help. Jade is thought to bring a long and successful life to anyone who wears it. And it supposedly can increase the ability to lucid dream.
5. Lapis Lazuli: For those searching for emotional healing, having a Lapis Lazuli may be the answer. The ancient Egyptians used it as a doorway to access sacred knowledge.
6. Onyx: Onyx is worn by people looking for self-control and mastering their emotions. If you are looking to let go of the past, a failed relationship, or a lost loved, Onyx should be your gem of choice.
7. Pearls: Pearls are perfect for women as these symbolize feminine wisdom. They stand for faith as well as prosperity. They are also professed to help in problems related to digestion and immunity. And there is no doubt that they give light and flatter a woman’s face in a very special way.
8. Ruby: A person who is recovering from an illness or surgery is said to benefit from this gemstone. It is also used as a treatment for infertility. Another advantage of wearing a Ruby is its reported help in curing a fever.
9. Sapphire: Ailments such as inflammation, nosebleeds, fevers, TB and burns supposedly respond to sapphires. Not only this, but it is also believed to protect the wearer against any forces working against him.
10. Turquoise: Good news for the baby boomer generation! If you are suffering from frequent headaches, respiratory problems, gout, viral infections or muscle cramps turquoise is thought to take all of those away.
