Crystal therapy has been used for centuries to help treat the body holistically for various ailments and the use of these beautiful minerals dates back to Egyptian times when they were said to be used to purge ‘evil spirits.’
These days, thanks to celebrities such as Victoria Beckham, Ella Woodward, Madonna and Katy Perry promoting the benefits, crystal therapy has shrugged off its ‘hippy’ image and has gained a much bigger following from those looking to heal their body naturally and ensure all round wellbeing.
The belief behind crystal therapy is that individual stones such as amethyst, rose quartz and jade have the ability to communicate with the energy flow of the human body and help to realign the energy channels that are interrupting the natural flow of the body and help it heal itself. Crystals with specific stones are said to help to relieve specific ailments such as anxiety, depression and insomnia, or more physical ailments such as digestive problems.
