I Was Surprised How Effective Healing Stones Were When it Came to Menopause
I've reached an important milestone in a woman’s life: menopause. I'm what my brother calls “granola.” I love camping, yoga and meditation. When I began menopause I struggled with things I love.
But when my friend suggested I try healing crystals to help mitigate my symptoms (which were unusually extreme, my doctor confirmed) I thought she was nutso. I tried many homeopathic remedies until I ultimately gave in. She walked me through the process and we went to collect my ideal stones from crystal shop together.
As we walked into the shop I was still hesitant, but my feelings quickly changed. We were greeted by this lovely woman who was a little older than myself.
She informed me she knew exactly what I was going through. She shared her personal experiences with me before giving me some advice on which stones would work well with me.
Much to my surprise, it worked! For other women like me, I want to share my crystal regime. Starting with Amethyst to help with stress relief, Carnelian helps with energy, Citrine for digestion and hot flashes. Both clear and smoky Quartz also help with the hot flashes and Moonstone to balance my hormones.
I was also told to put Citrine under my pillow while I slept. Don’t knock it till you try it! Just like myself, you may be pleasantly surprised.
Part of my ever-growing stone collection.
The woman at the shop taught me all about the various stones they had.
“Much to my surprise, it worked!”
One of my all time favorite stones is the Amethyst stone.

Autochthonous Rocks, Peoples, Places, And Things.
Autochthonous is derived from the Greek "autos" meaning self, and "chthon" meaning earth. Something that is autochthonous is something that is native. It is something that remains where it was created.

I've Always Enjoyed Simple Designs That Accentuate The Beauty of the Stone
As a kid I was very shy and didn’t have a lot of friends. I received a rock tumbler for my 10th birthday and became obsessed. I live in Arizona so the rocks are plentiful around here.

Is it true about regular salt and pepper...
I have a friend who replenishes her electrolytes with a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper in her water. Is this a factual thing?

Don't Make Gemstone Water With Malachite. There Are Serious Health Risks
Gemstone water (or gem-water as some people call it. Both work just fine!) is a great way to imbue yourself with energy. It's like an additional boost along with the hydration.
