Did you know that Gemstones can positively affect your health and well-being? Lithotherapy, or treatment with stones, is based on the presence in minerals of exactly the same elements found in the human body. This definition cannot be read too literally, as the declaration of coping with any disease with the help of a specific mineral. Lithotherapy can be a great addition to a comprehensive approach to one's health or mental condition. This is an important and respected branch of alternative medicine for thousands of years, popular especially in China and India, where it is one of the cornerstones of Ayurveda. This therapy is based on a simple premise: the stones contain the same bio-elements as in the human body, so in a sense we interact with them.
