Crystal Clear

Lithotherapy is more science than an ancient lore. The world might be waking up to its mystical powers now, India has always been a hot seat for this alternative healing.

What is the common denominator between Miranda Kerr, Kim Kardashian, Cara Delevingne and Bella Hadid? Each of them believe, unconditionally, in the healing power of crystal. Scientifically referred to as lithotherapy, it is an alternative, energybased discipline placed at the intersection of science and spirituality.

This holistic therapy which does, at times, flirt with mysticism, explores the beneficial qualities held within semi-precious stones: just as good for our body as for our psychological equilibrium. These stones of infinite qualities realign chakras and put our internal energies in order. So, how does it work? Their effects can be measured when they are put in contact with our skin.

The process of healing begins by placing stones on solar plexus (located at the back of the stomach or the upper abdomen, where the celiac trunk, renal arteries, and the superior mesenteric artery subdivide from the abdominal aorta, the solar plexus is a complex collection of nerves) of the body that in turn fills the space with positive waves.
