Lithotherapy: The Power of Natural Gemstones

Lithotherapy is an ancient practice that uses the energetic properties of natural stones to promote physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. Natural stones are renowned for their unique vibrations and mineral characteristics, which can positively influence our energy and state of mind. In this article, discover the fascinating world of lithotherapy, exploring its origin, history and the meanings associated with each one on the market.

Origin and history of lithotherapy

Lithotherapy has its origins in the ancient civilizations that recognized the powers of stones and used them for therapeutic purposes. Between 15,000 and 5,000 BC, our ancestors integrated stones into various aspects of their daily lives. These stones were worn as amulets, carved into statuettes, or erected in temples, testifying to the emergence of the art of lithotherapy. Traces of this practice date back to ancient Egypt, where crystals were used to heal, protect and accompany the deceased into the afterlife. The ancient Greeks and Romans also exploited stones for their healing and spiritual properties. Over time, lithotherapy has evolved in different cultures around the world, integrating the knowledge and traditions specific to each region. The Chinese value the medicinal virtues of jade, while Indians study the characteristics of gems. In nomadic tribes around the world, stones serve as a sacred link between man and the divine. Etymologically, the term lithotherapy means "a method of healing through the use of stones".

Characteristics of Gemstones

The natural stones used in lithotherapy are formed in nature over long periods of time, as a result of complex geological processes. Each stone has its own chemical and crystalline composition, giving it unique properties. Some stones are harder than others, while others feature a range of impressive colors and patterns. Each mineral characteristic contributes to the uniqueness and energetic power of each natural stone.

Meanings of natural Gemstones

Natural stones possess symbolic meanings handed down through the traditions and experiences of lithotherapy practitioners. Each stone is associated with specific properties that can influence different aspects of life. The meanings of natural stones can vary according to culture, tradition and individual interpretation.
