The benefits of garnet in lithotherapy

On a mental and emotional level

Garnet is a stone that helps to accentuate passion and devotion, while having the ability to calm emotions.

It promotes the ability to analyze when faced with a situation that requires making choices. Garnet then provides solutions to enable the right decisions to be made.  

Associated with the solar plexus chakra and the root chakra, garnet will give the strength, perseverance and courage to follow through on one's ambitions and projects by dispelling distractions and refocusing the mind.

Garnet is a stone that absorbs negative emotions and eliminates taboos.

In love, this stone of commitment provides fidelity, passion, and helps to eliminate inhibitions, particularly on a sexual level, while having the capacity to calm emotions. 

On a personal level, it dispels thoughts that block fulfillment.
It will thus be able to encourage commitment to a cause, and will allow a project to be built by eliminating the psychological barriers which could be obstacles to its realization.  

Almandine garnet is an energizing and stimulating stone. It is not recommended for people with high blood pressure, anger, jealousy, or who already have an ambitious character, because it can accentuate these character traits.
It will be perfect for calm and composed people.

On the physical level

Garnet has healing properties for heart disorders.  

Applied to the heart chakra, it regulates blood pressure and blood circulation.
It can remedy the sensations of heavy legs, tingling, and cold hands and feet which result from venous insufficiency.  

This mineral provides a boost of dynamism, as well as the strength and courage to overcome nervous breakdowns, and to face renunciation following an illness.  

Thanks to its stimulating action on certain organs, garnet is a good sexual stimulant for men.

On the spiritual level

By combining almandine garnet with a blue or violet spiritual stone, it allows one to detach oneself from material things in order to open up to spiritual elevation.
