Alternative medicines have fast become the preferred method of treatment in a society where the effects of various sicknesses being treated by medicine fast outweigh the benefits. One such alternative method that is currently in use is known as crystal healing or crystal therapy, a method which involves the use of crystals either placed around the body or held in either hand in order to heal the body and restore its circulatory and spiritual balance.
Electromagnetic Healing
The word crystal was taken from the Greek word 'krustallos', meaning ice. It was once believed that the crystal quartz had been water that was frozen so thoroughly that it would remain in a solid state forever, and hence the name crystal was born. Crystal healing is said to make use of vibration electromagnetic energies, and heals the body by clearing away any negative energies or blockages that have prevented the normal flow of these positive energies.
According to Mrs Uma, in an article in Med India 2009 entitled, ‘Crystal Healing,’ she reiterates that, ‘The human body has a complex electromagnetic system...a vibrational energy system. Nature has created crystals to be perfect electromagnetic conductors, capable of interacting with our electromagnetic system. Crystals...carry vibration that activates certain energy centers within our electromagnetic system, thus having a positive effect on our entire body systems.’
