Ayurvedic medicine practitioners, crystal healers, reiki healers, and other alternative and complementary medicine practitioners may use amethysts for the following purposes.
Physical health claims
According to online claims, amethysts are said to have several physical healing properties , including:
- enhancing the immune system
- improving endocrine function
- improving the skin’s appearance
- promoting digestive health
- reducing headaches
- regulating hormones
These are all scientifically unproven claims, however. While some of these benefits may be real, the scientific community views research as proof of effectiveness — and in this case, there hasn’t been much of it.
Emotional and mental health claims
Amethysts have been the subject of legend and myth, including one about mental health.
In Greek mythology, a titan named Rhea gave the god of wine, Dionysus, an amethyst to help preserve his sanity. In fact, this myth led the ancient Romans to believe that amethysts could keep them from getting drunk.
Today natural health practitioners don’t use amethysts for the same purpose as the Romans, though some do use them in helping with addictions.
Instead, amethysts are said to promote serenity and calm. Those who work with crystals may use the gemstones as a way to help reduce your anxiety and perceptions of pain.
Yet, scientists haven’t proven any of these claims regarding amethyst’s ability to enhance mental health.
Metaphysical properties claims
Amethysts are reported to open a person’s third eye. The third eye is considered to be a source of power and wisdom.
Crystal practitioners believe a person can use amethysts to enhance or sharpen spiritual visions and enlightenment. Again, these are scientifically unproven claims.
Metaphysical crystal practitioners may also believe that amethyst geodes or crystals placed in your home will absorb negative energy and create an air of tranquility in the space.
Plus, they claim that amethysts help block electromagnetic frequencies and “geopathic stress” that can foster negativity. This is said to occur when human-made objects disrupt the earth’s natural energy.
If you’d like to try out the reported healing benefits of amethysts for yourself, here are a few ways you can incorporate them into your life:
- Carry a small amethyst crystal in your pocket or purse.
- Wear jewelry made from amethysts, such as a necklace, bracelet, or ring.
- Place amethyst crystals or geodes in your home.
Alternative medicine practitioners may use amethysts and other crystals in healing by placing them around the body. Or, they might place them on the parts of the body associated with different chakras or energy paths.
Other ways to use crystals include:
- carrying them with you
- drinking from crystal-infused water bottles (best to purchase from a trusted manufacturer)
- manifesting, such as holding the crystal and speaking a wish or hope
- meditating
- placing them in a bath (just make sure the crystal can be in water)
Because crystals are said to absorb energy, it’s recommended that you cleanse themafter use.
As always, please seek medical attention for serious illnesses. And it certainly cannot hurt to surround ourselves with peaceful amethyst❣️
