The virtues of precious stones
Etymologically speaking, lithotherapy means ‘healing method with the use of precious stones’. It is the therapeutic application of the energy emitted from these crystals. These minerals, a source of natural energy, act in specific spiritual and physical fields. Lithotherapy is based on the resonance or vibration that these precious stones emanate in order to improve our wellbeing.
It is therefore on the psychic, emotional or spiritual planes where energy travels through these precious stones, and that prove themselves to be effective, which gives lithotherapy a holistic aspect, that is to say, a consideration of the human as an inseparable symbiosis of body and mind.
