The benefits of amethyst in lithotherapy

On a mental and emotional level

Amethyst is a stone with powerful spiritual vibrations. It acts particularly on the mind, whether to soothe or stimulate it.  

Wearing an amethyst helps calm the mind, reduce stress and promote concentration.
Its action on thoughts helps improve sleep and calms insomnia. Placing an amethyst geode in the bedroom or a few amethysts under the pillow promotes dreams and provides relaxation and peace.  

The healing and purifying benefits of amethyst help people suffering from addictions, dependencies, as well as combating obsessive thoughts or obsessive compulsive disorders.  

It is a stone that helps to find emotional balance, which gives strength and courage to people who feel sadness, anger or who are facing a painful event. Placed on the chakra of the third eye and the solar plexus, it thus lightens negative thoughts and energies and allows to accept the loss.  

 

On the physical level

Thanks to its soothing properties, amethyst helps relieve tension in the upper back and relax the muscles of the neck and shoulders.
This stone acts on several chakras.
Applied to the third eye chakra and the crown chakra, amethyst soothes headaches.
It can lower fever by acting on the root chakra.
Placed on the solar plexus chakra, it calms gastric pain caused by stress and nervousness, and contributes to the proper functioning of the liver thanks to its filtering and purifying properties.
It can also help with resorption and healing, especially in the case of burns, by placing the stone near the wound.  

Amethyst is also effective in combating poisoning and addictions, such as alcohol, tobacco, or even coffee for example.

On the spiritual level

Amethyst is known for its spiritual powers, and for being a stone that promotes meditation. Its positive vibrations allow for a better open-mindedness. Amethyst promotes spiritual elevation, the sense of intuition and strengthens psychic gifts.  

It also stimulates the imagination, facilitates decision-making, brings serenity, and helps develop creativity.

How to Use, Purify, and Recharge Amethyst Stones

Amethyst in the form of a geode will be particularly effective for purifying places and protecting against external pollutants.
You can place them as needed, in the bedroom on a bedside table for example, in the house or even at your workplace. 

Placed in the bedroom, its soothing action will promote deep and restful sleep, and provide calm and relaxation.  

Worn as jewelry, or holding a stone in the hand, amethyst can act on the different chakras and will have a beneficial effect on the entire body.  

The gentle, comforting vibrations of amethyst can be suitable for adults, children, and even animals.

 

To purify amethyst, place your stone in salty distilled water. Then rinse the stone and wipe it with a soft cloth.  

You can also purify your stone by fumigation, by burning a bundle of white sage, incense or a stick of Palo Santo, or with the sound technique by placing the stone in a singing bowl.  

Amethyst recharges in moonlight. Place your amethyst geodes or jewelry under the moonlight overnight.
This stone being photosensitive, it can tarnish and lose its color if it remains exposed to sunlight for too long.
