In ancient Vedic texts, like the Brihat Samhita, the origin and healing powers of various gems are discussed. Persons may use substitute stones instead of the more expensive gems. Red garnet can replace ruby; moonstone can replace pearl; jade, peridot, or green tourmaline can replace emerald; and yellow topaz or citrine can replace yellow sapphire.
For thousands of years, Ayurvedic healers and Astrologers throughout India and Tibet have prescribed specific gemstones, worn close to the skin, to treat maladies from chronic conditions to infection, as well as enhancing specific cosmic vibrations. Sunlight passing through the stone would transmit a certain frequency that would be absorbed by the cellular structure of the wearer. Over time the patient’s system resonates in sympathy with this new influence and healing begins to take place.
Gems have specific vibratory qualities that may be used to change and influence the brainwaves, but they can also affect the cellular vibrations in the body, necessary for healthy functioning of all major organs and glands. They are used to treat depression, anxiety, obesity, pain and neurological imbalances associated with hormonal problems.
