A return to the mineral, a return to oneself

Lithotherapy is a discipline that invites us to reconnect with nature and minerals to refocus on ourselves . Seeing, touching, feeling the stones is an invitation to meditate, to reconnect with ourselves through nature.

Stones are born deep within the earth and take thousands of years to form. During this process, they store what is called telluric energy (powerful energy currents flowing underground). This energy, or “vibration,” emanates from the stone and connects with our bodily energy.

Thus, the stones deploy energetic frequencies which come to unblock or strengthen those of the body which are the weakest . Stones rich in magnesium are known to soothe, stones rich in iron used to boost a tired organism, etc.

The benefits of stones on the skin

Therapeutic, stones have also long been prized for their beneficial effects on the skin. Stones are present in the beauty rituals of several ancient civilizations, including Egyptian, Greek, and Native American.

Using stones can improve microcirculation and boost biological functions . For example, howlite is ideal for its decongestant properties, rose quartz helps soothe the skin, and rock crystal stimulates blood circulation.

The eye area is one of the most suitable parts of the body for using stones . It is a very fine area that allows for a gentle massage and offers visible results depending on the stones used.
