Gem Water For Healing
By Michael Gienger and
Joachim Goebel
The
following is an excerpt
from their book Gem
Water
Creating gem water as an
aid to healing is
something quite
different from the
process of treating
drinking water. In
the case of the former
the crucial aim is to
improve our health (or
someone else's) rather
than to improve the
quality of the water.
Gem water created for
healing is essentially a
remedy and should
therefore not be drunk
on a regular basis, but
rather be taken in
specific doses or
applied externally.
Applying gem water externally:
When used externally, gem water may have several advantages over using the crystals themselves. Very often a crystal simply cannot physically be applied where it is needed, or it may simply be too small to cover the area required. Gem water, on the other hand, can be generously applied with cotton wool, or as a compress, or you can even bathe in it! According to the medieval naturalist Hildegard von Bingen, traditional applications include, for example, using Amethyst gem water as a facial and skin tonic. Gem water prepared with Aventurine and Prase can be applied topically for sunburn and minor burns. Excellent gem water combinations prepared with Rhondonite or Mookaite can, for example, be sprayed with care onto open wounds from a small, sterile spray bottle. This method of applying gem water is particularly suitable for grazes, where the crystals themselves cannot be applied directly. Gem water can also be added to bath water. In this case it should be prepared over a longer period to obtain a particularly concentrated preparation, which you can then add to the water, ideally just before you climb into the bath. When you use gem water and other bath additives you can create a really wonderful feeling of well being.
Using gem water internally:
You can take gem water internally as a naturopathic or therapeutic remedy for physical or emotional problems, following the same rules as for any similar healing treatment.
1.) It is extremely important to use the correct crystals. When crystals are worn externally, they can obviously be removed easily if any adverse reactions are experienced; however, when gem water is taken internally, you are inevitably subjected to its effects, as with any other healing remedy taken internally. This is why externally applied crystals are much more suitable for use if you are in any doubt as to how you will react to them. It is even more important when using gem water internally to be cautions if there is any uncertainty as to the outcome, and to seek expert advice.
2.) It is important to use the right dose, as some gem waters have such a strong effect that they should be taken only in shot glass measures (2 tablespoons/20-30 ml). Chrysoprase gem water is a good example of one that must only be taken in specific small quantities for detoxification, while other types of gm water can be taken in larger quantities, such as Diamond gem water taken after a stroke.
3.) The use of gem water should also be restricted in the case of serious physical ailments, severe mental problems, during pregnancy or during homeopathic treatments. Always discuss using gem water in such cases with the appropriate doctors or therapists.
Providing you follow these rules, gem water makes a very successful healing treatment, as both traditional and modern usage has proved.
