The secret is in the balance
There's a big market in Asia that is keen on
treatments linked to the therapeutic use of stones. Gemstones are
healing.
Although healing using gemstones - also known
as crystal therapy - is still viewed with the scepticism accorded most
alternative therapies, Urban Beauty says they can help in the acceleration of
the oxygenation of cells. Different gemstones are also said to yield different
therapeutic properties depending on their size, shape and exact composition.
For instance, jade is supposed to strengthen
the body's filtration and cleansing systems; jasper improves circulation, energy
flow and detoxification; aventurine aids in physical healing, clears congestion,
enhances relaxation, promotes calmness and improves skin conditions; obsidian
rids the body of pain and speeds up the healing of wounds; and unakite helps
balance emotions.
Yin and yang principle of balance, with the
yin portion involving the stimulation of pressure points, while the yang part
comprises deep kneading and rubbing.
