Crystal healing is an alternative healing method that uses crystals and other gemstones. It is believed that they have the ability to amplify your life force, also known as prana or chi. It is believed that different crystals and gemstones have different healing properties.

In some cultures, crystal healing is believed to be provided by a healer, who tells you which crystals to use and where to place them around the body for the ailment you have. In these cultures, it is also believed that if you keep the crystal with you after the healing, it will enhance the healing. It is all about balancing your aura and your body. Some crystal healers and users believe that crystals have their own souls dedicated to healing and service.

Quartz crystal is considered one of the strongest crystals for healing. Quartz is also used in a lot of science applications, too, such as watches, computers, and lasers. Quartz can amplify energy within itself and then send it back out. It is also believed that quartz has a memory and can record new knowledge, and people use it as transferable energy. Clear quartz, amethyst and rose quartz are related in this category.

Rose quartz is believed to deal with emotional and spiritual consciousness, while amethyst is believed to handle the mind on the spiritual level and help open a person's mind to their beliefs.

Indications of the use of crystal healing have been uncovered in many different areas, including in the Miwok and Pomo tribes of California, some places in Australia, Hindu areas, some Native American tribes, and in the bed of Tolay Lake in Sonoma. Scientists reject the theory of crystal healing because they can find no scientific proof that it works.
