From acne and cataracts to sprains and vomiting, this reference lists more than 100 medical conditions and describes the physical symptoms, psychological ramifications, and correct healing gemstones for each. The most effective form of the gem is specified--a polished pocket stone rather than a necklace, for example--and in some cases more than one kind of crystal is described to be effective. A comprehensive appendix with color photos of all prescribed gemstones, a guide to assembling basic home crystal kits, and a bibliography are included.
Even though I have a great many crystals, I was never really open to using them for physical healing. I was skeptical, even though I use crystals daily for energetic healing. Until I read about Gienger's book, he even has a section on acidification of the body in it! Wow, that's not something you easily find, I suffer from that, and I was intrigued, big time! Got the book and yes, it's absolutely good. I've followed his advice regularly, put my ruby on my lower back for back pains, amethyst for headaches, black tourmaline for constipation etc etc and .. it works like a charm!! I couldn't believe it! The painkillers I didn't have to take, just because the crystals did their work, unbelievable! If you have physical issues that the medical world can't help you with, or just mild conditions and things you wouldn't go nor need to see a doctor for (i.e. a common cold), try this book!
I don't recommend this book for a beginer. It's a fantastic book for some one who understands and is practicing crystal healing at an intermediate level (at least). It is essentially an encyclopedia of first aid treatments and administration of the recommended treatment. Personally, I really like this book and have found it super helpful!
