Most of us, women, love jewelry. We are addicted to them. We cannot exist without them. Our eyes lit up when we see an exquisite piece of jewelry, which ever it might be: a ring, necklace, bracelet, or a pair of earrings. Those things complete us in more ways than one.
Besides of the obvious role that jewelry plays in our lives, such as a fashion statement, the benefits of the jewelry go far beyond fashion. Some of the stones and metals can heal us, and some of them can harm us. I am not talking about the witchcraft or the voodoo science here. There is some evidence, including my personal experience that proves this theory.
For example, I cannot wear the amber necklaces, because they give me the choking feeling. There is nothing wrong with the stone itself. It is beautiful; it comes in different colors, shapes, and forms, but my body reacts negatively to it. Historically, amber has been known as an excellent pain reliever for the upper body including the head, neck and throat areas, especially for congestion. Amber healing necklaces and bracelets can control other aches and pains associated with rheumatism, arthritis, and aching muscles and joints. It has the amazing ability to function as a remedy for anxiety and eliminates fatigue and weariness. Amber is very popular with Russians and other Eastern European people.
Pearls are famous for their exquisite beauty, and play a very important healing role, as well. They treat depression, remove abdominal diseases, increase intelligence and learning capacity, cure diseases pertaining to eyes, throat, heart, urine, cough, and female sex problems, to name a few.
Garnet is another gem, which has mysterious healing powers. There are countless beliefs regarding the various benefits of wearing a garnet to promote good health. In ancient and medieval times, the symbolism of color played a very important part in recommending the use of particular stones for special diseases. In the case of red stones, they were thought to be remedies for hemorrhages of all kinds, as well as for inflammatory diseases. Garnets were worn to enhance bodily strength, endurance and vigor. It was widely believed to be extremely beneficial to wear a garnet when one had to exert oneself. Garnet was also thought to relieve skin conditions and regulate the heart and blood. It was thought to be healing for either gender. For men, it keeps the reproductive system healthy. For women, it promotes hormonal balance and is said to reduce swelling. Garnet has long believed to cure heart palpitations, lung diseases, and various diseases of the blood. Traditional folklore creates a strong link between the red garnet and blood. It is believed that a garnet tones the spleen, promotes health throughout the circulatory system and enhances the body’s production of healthy hemoglobin. It stimulates metabolism, treats spinal and cellular disorders, purifies and re-energizes the blood, heart and lungs, and regenerates DNA. It also assists the assimilation of minerals and vitamins.
Gold as a metal, besides being delightful and pleasant to look at, has health benefits as well. I can testify that. I can tolerate wearing only the gold earrings and nothing else; any other metal causes a very severe irritation in my ear lobes. Gold is considered the safest metal and is tolerated by most people. It is widely used in dentistry and other surgical procedures.
