Lithotherapy in detail

Lithotherapy takes its name from the Greek "lithos" which means stone and "thérapeia" which means cure. We are therefore talking about an alternative (unconventional) medicine in which stones and crystals are the main drugs. In practice, it is a question of using stones not for their aesthetic advantages but for the vibrations and resonance they emit. Lithotherapy can be practiced because it comes in different forms. It is possible to wear the stones in particular as jewellery, in the form of pendants, Tibetan bracelets, necklaces, or to place them in a room for decoration but also as an attachment, the stone is placed on the area of the body to be treated. Some lithotherapists still use a method that is less common today, elixirs. The stone is immersed for a certain period of time in distilled water to make an elixir.
