The use of crystals is a form of holistic healing that encompasses the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels of a person to promote healing. Crystal healing in all forms, including for joint pain, has been used for over a millennia because of the crystals' properties to resonant and vibrate throughout the body.
Methods of Using Crystals
There are several ways to place the crystal on the body to help promote health and relieve joint pain. Such methods include laying the crystals around the person's body and having her lie quietly for 10 to 30 minutes; pressing the crystal against the foot in accordance with reflexology; using the crystal in wand form and gently rotating the wand over the inflicted area to draw out the pain; and even wearing the crystal will help elevate the pain over time.
Some crystal therapists use a topical elixir that has been created by soaking nonfriable (does not crumble or dissolve) stone in spring water for up to 12 hours before it is applied to the area of joint pain. It is believed that crystals' powerful vibrations transfer easily to water.
Types of Crystals to Help Relieve Joint Pain
There are wide varieties of crystals that can help relieve joint pain. These stones can be found at spiritual shops as well as online. Such crystals include:
Malachite: This green crystal is easily obtained at any spiritual shop and often used with other crystals to help relieve joint pain. Two notes of caution when using Malachite: first, it is toxic and should only be handled in its polished form and second, those who practice crystal therapy believe this stone is extremely powerful and works best under the supervision of a qualified crystal therapist.
Apatite: This crystal ranges in color from yellow to violet and crystal therapists believe it aids absorption of calcium and helps cartilage, which will help eleviate joint pain.
Azurite: This deep blue crystal is often combined with Malachite. It works to help align the spine, relieving joint pain. Further, Azurite works on a cellular level to destroy any blockage.
Kunzite: This crystal ranges from pink to clear and is said to help conditions affecting nerves and soothes joint pain.
Larimar: This crystal ranges from blue-green to red with white whorls shot through the stone. When placed on a painful spot, it will quietly draw out pain and is often use as a tool in reflexology.
Lepidolite: This crystal ranges from purple to pink with gray veins. This stone vibrates gently when placed over the area affected with joint pain to help numb and relieve the pain.
Obsidian: This black crystal has a sheen that ranges from brown to rainbow and was once originally lava that cooled so quickly that it did not have time to crystallize. When placed over the painful area, it helps reduce pain by pulling it out gently.
