Types of Healing Crystals

The first reference of using crystals for healing was found on an Egyptian papyrus written about 1600 BC. Over the centuries, the practice of healing with crystals has continued. Healing crystals can be worn, carried in a pocket, or ground into powder that is mixed with liquid to drink. To get the maximum healing benefit from crystals, it's important to choose and dedicate the right type of healing crystal, or consult an alternative health care practitioner who works with crystals.
