You may have seen them becoming more fashionable by hippies in the last century, but there is a reason for that. Healers, shamans, priests and spiritual seekers have used crystals for the powerful minerals that the crystals contain.
Every crystal comes with healing power, whether it is to help with stress, anxiety or other common health problems, and are used today in alternative medicine.
Some people keep crystals in their home in order to receive the health benefits of a particular crystal or they wear the crystal around their neck as a piece of jewelry.
It is believed that the effects of the crystals can be stronger when they are placed on the body and that by choosing the relevant crystal you can alter and improve some areas of your life.
