CRYSTAL

As the holistic approach to health continues to gain in popularity, we are seeing more and more people opting for alternative medicine approaches in a bid to resolve their various health woes. One of those alternative health approaches, one that is just gaining recognition in the west (although it has been used in other parts of the world for centuries) is quartz crystal therapy.

Quartz crystals have proved to be of help in the treatment of a number of health problems. This is especially the case with the conditions that are characterized by physical pain. Through the use of quartz crystals, people have obtained relief from all manner of pain, from that which is associated with 'simple' conditions such as the occasional headaches (from which everyone suffers at some point), to the truly excruciating pain that is experienced by cancer sufferers.

Quartz crystals have gone on to be an integral part in the alternative medicine approach known as 'reiki treatment' which has been used in the treatment of all manner of physical and mental ailments. In the physical sphere, reiki shows particularly good efficacy in the treatment of conditions characterized by physical pain, as previously alluded. In the mental sphere, reiki shows particularly good efficacy in the treatment of conditions such as anxiety; which have been known to afflict huge numbers of people, and to greatly compromise the quality of their lives.

So, how do quartz crystals bring about all these physical and mental health benefits?

Well, in order to understand how quartz crystals work in bringing about the various health benefits associated with them, it will be important for you to get insight into an alternative 'theory of illness' (besides the conventional one which states that illness is only caused by infections by pathogens or physiological malfunction). This is where you bring in a third possible cause of illness: namely the falling out of balance of bodily energy. In actual fact, this third possible cause of illness encompasses the other two, because even where illness is being caused by pathogen infections or physiological malfunction, we would tend to see a situation where it is the falling out of balance of this body energy that causes one to be prone to such pathogen infections or physiological malfunctions.

Now it is this theory of illness (to the effect that illness is caused by the falling out of balance of bodily energy) that is applied in other popular alternative medicine approaches, such as acupuncture and acupressure.

What quartz crystals do in bringing about the various health benefits associated with them is to restore the proper balance of energy, and therefore do away with the illness right from its roots. This is something that quartz crystals are able to do because they vibrate at the same frequency as the human energy, so that using them, it is possible to restore the balance of energy to a person who may have lost it.
