Our Beneficial Stones
Lithotherapy refers to an unconventional medicine that uses stones to heal. The term comes from the Greek lithos, meaning stone, and therapeia, meaning cure.
It is based on the idea that stones and minerals have therapeutic virtues. According to the principle of lithotherapy, they would emit vibrations, they would have a resonance capable of acting on the body to improve the well-being of the person in contact with it.
Arranged on the body, the stones would make it possible to regenerate and rebalance the being in its entirety: that is to say as much on the physical as on the psychic level.

MAINTENANCE TIPS
After a while the stone has given all the energy it could, it needs to regain its energies to bring you its benefits again. Here is a short guide to energetically recharging each stone:
- Amazonite: we can immerse for several hours in demineralized water, possibly slightly salted. For more efficiency, you can then charge in the sun or in natural light or even place the amazonite on a large rock crystal.
- angelite: we can dive it several hours in demineralized water, possibly slightly salted. It can thus be placed on coarse salt to purify it; increase its capacities by charging it more by placing it in the sun or on a pile of rock crystal.
- Chrysoprase: it can be purified energetically by placing it on a bed of coarse salt for several hours, it can also be purified by leaving it immersed in distilled water or lime-free water for several hours. For more efficiency, you can then charge in the sun or in natural light.
- Labradorite: we can immerse several hours in demineralized water, no salt for this mineral. For more efficiency, you can then charge it in the sun or in natural light or even place the labradorite on a large rock crystal.
