You can use gemstones and minerals for different things. For example, to get rid of your headache or feeling of stress, but also things like pregnancy nausea and even more aches and pains. But before you start, you will need to know which stone to place where to solve a certain problem. So before we start with the gemstones and minerals, you will first have to learn to find the chakras of your body and know what the associated stones are.
Minerals work best when used on the seventh chakra. That is one of the central energy points of your body. You can place the stones on for a short time, but also for a long time, such as a whole night or day, with a plaster, for example, to keep them in place. You place some stones in water overnight and then drink the water in the morning. Depending on what your problem is, there are many solutions to be found in gemstones and minerals. When your stone starts to crack and lose pieces you will notice that it is starting to work. Eventually you will have to get a new one. Gemstones are minerals that have been assigned special values based on their special properties such as clarity, hardness or rarity. If they are later processed further into, for example, earrings or a ring, they will have even more value than when they were first found in the ground.

Possibilities of use of stones
You can use the stones in various ways. A few are listed below:
- You use some stones as a talisman
- If you have a mineral in its original raw state, you can use it in an energy field by placing it in the room that you use a lot so that it spreads energy in that room itself instead of on one specific person.
- A handstone is a stone from which the roughness has been ground so that you can always carry it with you in your pocket or a small velvet bag around your neck. This works through constant contact with the person who carries it.
- Whether you have a rough or processed stone, these also work by being placed in a specific place or chakra for a short or longer period of time. For example, by sticking two plasters over it so that it stays in place.
- Some stones can be used to massage the skin to reduce certain pain.
- Some stones can be processed in such a way that you can put a leather or cotton strap on them so that you can wear the stone on your skin. This works the same as a hand stone, through direct contact with the skin of the person wearing the stone.
- Ball-shaped stones are used as a chain
- Some soft stones can be ground into powder, then mixed with a little water into a paste and applied to the problem area. You dissolve some powders in a glass of water and drink them
