Lithotherapy, or the art of healing with natural stones
Lithotherapy is a discipline that consists of using the virtues of natural or semi-precious stones to heal. It also aims to improve the overall quality of life of its adepts. There are many ways to benefit from the virtues of these stones, but one of the favourites is lithotherapy.
The stones emit a particular vibration that can improve the well-being of the person in contact with this energy, or being in close proximity to it. The vibratory frequency of the minerals is therefore one of the bases of lithotherapy.
In this way, one can enjoy the elegance of a natural stone jewel while keeping it on one’s person at all times. By keeping the stone close by, the lithotherapy adept benefits from its virtues constantly. Let’s see now some stones that you can advise or use according to their virtues.
