Stones-amulets. There are things in the world that affect the human spirit, causing certain likes and dislikes. It has long been believed that gemstones have beneficial qualities that manifest themselves when worn. They can produce a wide variety of effects. Gemstones attract people for various reasons - extraordinary beauty, beautiful color, mystery and rarity. Thousands of years ago, long before dinosaurs appeared on Earth, precious stones were hidden in rock crevices, in the cracks of mountains, and lay at the bottom of rivers. The first people on Earth turned their attention to these extraordinary stones and appreciated their beauty, ability to prevent evil and bring happiness. Through the centuries, precious stones have carried their power over people, over their feelings and imagination. People have always believed that these extraordinary creations of nature are endowed with supernatural powers that help protect against illness, adversity and failure. How to choose your stone correctly? Your sympathy plays the main role here. You must like the stone. This may well be enough, because it is not uncommon for a person to feel on a subconscious level which stone is right for him. Some people choose their stone depending on their zodiac sign. Many people make their choice based on certain knowledge about stones. Based on their quality, semi-precious stones are divided into 3 groups: ornamental, semi-precious and precious. Precious stones are rare and in fairly small quantities. Precious stones, in turn, are divided into 3 classes: Diamonds (in cut form they are called diamonds), various types of corundum - sapphires and rubies, emerald - alexandride, green beryl, euclase. Aquamarine (greenish-bluish), topaz, amethyst (purple quartz), phenacite, almandine (red garnet), hyacinth (cream zircon), uvvarovite (green garnet), noble spinel. Garnets, cordierite, kyanite, epidote, turquoise, diopside, green tourmaline, smoky quartz, rock crystal, agate, chalcedony, carnelian, heliotrope, plasma, chrysoprase, moonstone, sunstone. The group of precious stones also includes mineral formations of organic origin: corals, pearls, amber. And stones of the third class are also called semi-precious. They have the same properties as precious ones, but only less pronounced, and they are also much more common in nature. Ornamental stones are minerals and rocks that have a beautiful color and, most often, a complex abstract pattern, giving them quite high decorative properties. They polish very well. They are used to make various decorative items - boxes, vases, figurines, etc. And now I will tell you in more detail about some stones and their effect on humans. Diamond. Since ancient times, diamonds have been credited with amazing healing properties. For example, the ancient Hindus believed that diamonds had a positive effect on certain human organs, especially the brain and heart. In the old days, it was believed that diamonds were able to fight poisons. It was also believed that they drove away bad dreams from their owner, protected him from illness, and fought hypochondria. It is believed that a ring with a diamond (especially a green one, which is a symbol of motherhood) helps a woman during childbirth. It is not advisable to wear other people's diamonds, as well as jewelry made from low-quality or artificial diamonds. This may have a negative impact on your well-being. People who are impulsive or prone to high blood pressure are not recommended to wear diamond jewelry all the time. Diamonds in Indian magic are considered the main stones of the 7th chakra, which connects a person with great cosmic forces. Yogis believe that the energy of a diamond, with its vibrations, feeds the brain, heart and subtle “etheric” body of its owner. The diamond makes its owners invincible in battle. This stone also protects from evil spells. It is believed that only diamonds acquired in an honest way “work.” Otherwise, they can serve their owner very badly. The greatest power is possessed by stones passed down by inheritance or received as a gift. Diamond is a wonderful talisman and amulet. In ancient times, diamonds were considered symbols of innocence and purity. They also symbolized invincibility, perfection, power and strength. Diamond has always been considered the stone of winners. It served as a talisman for Julius Caesar, Louis IV and Napoleon. Diamonds are able to drive away fears, protect their owner from various negative influences and bring him good luck. But if the diamond is considered a symbol of wealth, power, youth and timeless beauty, then the diamond has become a symbol of constancy and love.

Sapphire

This stone shows its healing properties only when its owner is kind and chaste. Sapphires exert their influence on the Ajna chakra. These stones help with insomnia, colds, back pain, and lower blood pressure. A bracelet or ring worn on the left hand will help with heart disease, neuralgia and asthma. According to popular belief, sapphires can cure leprosy and various “evil growths.” Water in which sapphire has been kept for some time helps with eye diseases. Sapphires are considered an antidote to poisonous snake bites. They treat malaria, fever, stomach ulcers, skin diseases, and plague. Deep blue sapphires are considered symbols of wisdom, victory, justice and power. Sapphire makes a person calmer, tames passions, and can also influence the passage of time. A sapphire ring helps you sense lies. This stone can help a person find his purpose in life, overcome laziness, fear and inactivity, and awaken the desire for knowledge. In India, sapphires are considered stones closely associated with the Cosmos. The stone seemed to have absorbed his astral color.

Treatment

Surgical treatment is prescribed in the following cases:

• if conservative therapy is ineffective;
• in the presence of complications.

Before surgery, the patient is prescribed antibiotics, antioxidants and drugs that improve blood microcirculation.

Surgical intervention can be:

• minimally invasive (low-traumatic, the operation is performed through small punctures or natural holes);
• traditional (open surgery is performed through incisions).

Minimally invasive methods include:

• Laparoscopic operations. A small incision (1-2 cm) is made in the lumbar region, through which a special instrument, a trocar (a tube) and a probe, are inserted into the kidney. If the stone is small, it is removed immediately; if it is large, it is first crushed.
• Endoscopic operations. Such surgical treatment is carried out through natural routes or through small punctures using an endoscope.

Traditional surgical methods include:

• Nephrolitomy is an operation in which a stone is removed from the pelvis or calyces of the kidney;
• Ureterolithotomy – surgical removal of a stone from the ureter;
• Pyelolithotomy – removal of a mass from the renal pelvis.

Traditional surgical methods are resorted to if the stone is large or the patient has kidney failure.

Ruby

It is believed that rubies can provide the human body with energy, protect it from serious diseases, heal the heart, brain, improve memory and strength, and save it from various poisons. Rubies are also believed to cure diseases of the blood, spine and joints. The unique ability of these stones to prevent epileptic attacks and have a beneficial effect on the nervous system is noted. Rubies can relieve depression, help with schizophrenia and insomnia. You should not wear rubies if you have high blood pressure or nervous breakdowns. These stones are believed to have the ability to inspire people to do great things. In magic, rubies are considered clots of the Dragon's blood, capable of giving their owner unlimited power and also influencing people. It is no coincidence that rubies were the favorite stones of the bloodsucker Ivan the Terrible. Many believe that this stone gives its owner courage and mental strength, and also strengthens his heart. Rubies counteract poisons and sadness, curb lust, drive away terrible dreams, enlighten the mind, protect the human body from danger, warn about it in advance, becoming darker. In India, rubies have always been the most revered magical stones. They were considered the best exponents of the fire element.

Diagnostics

Diagnosis of the disease is carried out by a urologist, who, if necessary, refers the patient to a surgeon. First, a history is taken and the patient is examined. Then the following mandatory studies are prescribed:

• general and biochemical urine and blood tests;
• urography (x-ray examination of the urinary tract);
• Ultrasound of the urinary system.

Additionally, the following may be assigned:

• computed tomography of the kidneys (to assess the size and density of the stone and the condition of the surrounding tissues);
• radionuclide kidney scan (to assess kidney function);
• urine culture for microflora (to detect infection in the urinary system).

Emerald

Since ancient times, emeralds have been credited with certain healing properties. These stones help with insomnia, drive away bad dreams, treat various inflammations, burns, diabetes, heart pain, reduce fever, fight infections, help with bladder diseases, help in the treatment of psoriasis, and lower blood pressure. They also serve as a recognized “cure” for eye diseases and help get rid of melancholy and madness. In ancient times, these stones served as a good remedy for scorpion and snake bites. Emerald is considered a stone of wisdom, hope and composure. People believe that these stones attract wealth, give peace and pacify voluptuousness. It is believed that the emerald can even split if one of the spouses breaks fidelity. Since ancient times, emeralds have been very powerful talismans. They helped in philosophy and scientific research. They protected their owners from all evil spirits and the influence of evil spells, and protected them on long trips. These stones also helped pregnant women bear and safely give birth to a child.

How to choose a talisman

Natural stones will become reliable helpers in any life endeavors. For a long time, these “children of nature” were turned to in case of troubles, illnesses, to restore strength and provide protection from enemies and ill-wishers. If a mineral is needed as a talisman or amulet, you need to be able to choose it correctly.

Many stones influence a person from several sides at once: they bring good luck and success, improve health, help in love, and protect against magical negative influences. However, not all minerals can have a positive effect on fate, but rather, on the contrary, bring misfortune and misfortune. Therefore, it is very important to find exactly “your” talisman.

The choice of stones according to the zodiac sign is becoming increasingly popular. There are situations when the gem itself finds its owner in some random way: while relaxing in nature, at sea, in a store, etc.

It is important that you like the stone in color and feel. The right talisman emits a special warm energy that you immediately feel when you pick it up.

In order for the crystal to work in a positive direction, you carry it with you or come into contact with it daily. You cannot give the talisman to strangers, because... foreign energy will leave an imprint, and the stone will lose some of its properties.

The best solution would be to study the characteristics of the stones you like before purchasing, and most importantly, decide for what purpose they are needed. Guided by this knowledge and your own intuition, you need to choose an assistant.

Aquamarine

Indian yogis consider aquamarine to be a stimulant of the throat chakra, which governs emotions and is associated with the thyroid gland. This stone can strengthen the body's defenses. It helps with various diseases of the skin and lungs, relieves toothache, has a beneficial effect on the stomach and liver, and softens allergic reactions. It is believed that aquamarines help their owners cope with seasickness. In Tibetan and Mongolian medicine, aquamarines are considered good biostimulants and stabilizers of mental balance. They help relieve nervous tension and find peace of mind. Aquamarines protect their owners from deception and dangers, strengthen spirituality and impart prudence. These stones cool violent emotions, extinguish irritation and anger, and help relieve fears and stress. It is not recommended for dishonest people to wear aquamarines, as they can be quickly exposed. In the East, it has long been believed that aquamarines change color depending on the mood of the owner and the state of the atmosphere. Only in clear weather and when the owner has peace and tranquility in his soul, does the stone turn pure blue. During bad weather, it turns green and becomes cloudy. It also changes its color when its owner is worried about something or is sad. Aquamarine is a talisman for naval commanders and an amulet for sailors. It is also considered the stone of friendship, courage and justice.

Prevention

After surgery, it is important to take preventive measures. Otherwise, stones may recur. Prevention includes:

• Drinking enough water (1.5-2 liters per day). And in hot weather or during active physical activity, it is recommended to drink once or twice an hour (100-150 ml of water).
• Dieting. The development of the diet should be carried out by a doctor, taking into account the composition of the stones, as well as the characteristics of the body and the patient’s medical history.
• Daily physical activity to improve blood flow. Walking will be enough. However, they must be regular and include at least 10,000 steps per day (it is not necessary to take that many steps at a time).
• Limit the amount of alcohol consumed (or better yet, give it up altogether).
• Reducing the amount of salt consumed - to reduce the load on the kidneys.
• Avoiding hypothermia.
• Refusal to drink drinks that are too cold (especially those containing yeast: kvass, beer).
• Timely treatment of diseases, especially infectious ones.
• Annual general urine test.
• Spa treatment. A patient who has undergone surgery to remove kidney stones is recommended, if possible, to visit mineral water resorts annually (1-2 times).

The doctor may also prescribe drug therapy aimed at preventing the recurrence of stones.

Topaz

In ancient India, topazes were considered one of the twelve most important gems with strong healing properties. This stone is mentioned more than once in the texts of Ayurveda. Topazes protect against colds, treat the digestive organs, gall bladder, spleen, and liver. They help with severe nervous exhaustion and insomnia, relieve stress, strengthen the immune system, protect against various mental illnesses, and sharpen the sense of taste. In the Middle Ages, topazes were considered the best remedy for poisoning, since their color change indicated the presence of poison in food or drink. Therefore, it is not at all surprising that cups were decorated with topaz. It is also believed that people wearing topaz are always optimistic and able to enjoy life. Topazes are called stones of inner enlightenment. They bring wisdom to men, and beauty to women. These stones drive away hatred and anger. Topazes are able to dispel vague fears and attract material wealth. They also help to concentrate, successfully fight depression, eliminate doubts and anger. Indian yogis considered topazes to be stimulants of the highest chakra - Sahasrara. They used them in meditation. In magic, topaz is considered a precious talisman stone that can protect against the evil eye and any witchcraft, as well as an amulet against all kinds of negative information influences.

Human energy centers (Chakras)

There are 7 centers or chakras in the human energy structure. Psychics perceive chakras as rotating energy vortexes with a certain color.

1. Sacral area – Muladhara chakra. The color is raspberry. Regulates the condition of the physical body (bones, tissues, lymph, blood) and sexual activity.

2. Pubic area – Svadhisthana chakra. Orange color. Regulates the functions of childbirth, the genitourinary system, and human immunity.

3. Solar plexus area - Manipura chakra. Yellow color. Regulates the digestive system, as well as strong-willed and leadership qualities.

4. Heart region – Anahata chakra. Light green color. Regulates cardiac and respiratory activity, as well as love relationships.

5. The area at the base of the neck is the Vishuddha chakra. Blue color. Regulates the organs of the neck area, metabolism, hormonal system, and human thinking.

6. The area between the eyebrows is the Ajna chakra. Color blue. Regulates the functions of consciousness and the work of brain centers, and is responsible for the development of extrasensory abilities.

7. Crown of the head – Sahasrara chakra. Color purple. Regulates a person’s behavior, worldview and life interests.

Amethyst

This stone is capable of influencing the Ajahn chakra. Contemplation of amethysts brings calm and relieves severe nervous tension. And the water in which the amethyst lay can restore cerebral circulation. This stone protects against intoxication, smooths out wrinkles, reduces freckles, and treats nervous disorders and burns. It is believed that an amethyst worn on the ring finger of the right hand will strengthen the immune system, and worn in earrings will help improve vision. Amethyst is a stone of purity and purity. In India, amethysts were one of the most powerful magical stones. They are believed to initiate the opening of the “third eye.” With their healing violet light, amethysts extinguish anxiety and mental pain, purify and calm thoughts, fill the aura of their owner with good intentions and positive energy, and help control emotions. Amethyst is a stone of love, it is customary to give it to your loved ones. Since ancient times, a heart-shaped amethyst set in silver has been considered the best gift to the groom from his bride. Such a talisman brings peace and happiness to the newlyweds for many years. According to popular belief, amethysts give people insight and help control evil thoughts. It is believed that an amethyst ring can bring good luck in various sports. However, amethyst shows its power if it is worn not constantly, but from time to time. This stone is very suitable for lovers of travel, since a change in its color during the day portends very strong winds and storms. As talismans, amethysts serve as protection against the discontent and anger of high-ranking officials. They are also amulets against drunkenness. If you place jewelry with an amethyst under your pillow, it will help you see only good dreams.

How to charge a stone

In order for the stone to work in the desired direction, it needs to be charged. If this is neglected, the talisman will not give out its energy in full force. Of course, natural crystals are already imbued with healing properties, but over time they are depleted, and the stones need to be recharged.

The largest and most universal source of vital energy is the Sun. It is with this celestial body that the mineral can be charged. To do this, you just need to place it in an open space so that the sun's rays can freely fall on the stone. It is recommended to keep the talisman under the Sun full day, i.e. from dawn to dusk. But this is not a prerequisite; you can hold it longer. Despite the convenience and power of such a charge, not all stones tolerate sunlight equally well. It makes them fade and lose their natural color. For these instances, you need to look for other charging methods or adhere to certain time frames. These stones include:

• amethyst - up to 15 minutes;
• aquamarine - 10 minutes;
• citrine - 10 minutes;
• aventurine - 25 minutes;
• sodalite, lapis lazuli - 15 minutes;
• malachite - half an hour;
• mother-of-pearl and pearls - 20 minutes;
• rose quartz - 10 minutes.

Amethyst needs to be charged for up to 15 minutes.
How can you tell if the stone is fully charged? Heat and some vibrations should emanate from it. If you look closely at the mineral, you can see its shine.

If you need to charge a mineral for the distant future, you can use the energy of the stars. They are also able to impart vital properties to the gem. But the process is lengthy, and therefore it is used extremely rarely.

Rhinestone

This mineral can improve the activity of the gallbladder, have a calming effect, increase the amount of milk in nursing women, and help with chronic and acute liver diseases such as jaundice. In Mongolia, China and Ancient Tibet, crystal balls were applied to wounds so that the rays of the sun fell on the affected area through the stone. In this way wounds were healed. Modern scientists have discovered the secret of these miraculous healings. The fact is that when passing through this crystal, ultraviolet rays killed bacteria, which contributed to rapid healing. The charms of rock crystal also have an effect on animals, healing their diseases. It is believed that natural crystal is able to stabilize a person’s physical and spiritual strength, promotes the fruitful functioning of the brain and spinal cord, helps with respiratory diseases, varicose veins and coronary artery disease, relieves headaches, helps cope with stress and reduces high fever. A crystal ball is a frequent attribute of soothsayers and magicians who are able to see the future and past in it, receive answers to various questions, and summon spirits. It is believed that rock crystal perfectly concentrates attention, sharpens various thought processes and improves speech, and also gives its owners the gift of clairvoyance. In Tibetan, as well as in Indian medicine, natural rock crystal plays a special role. It is believed that its energy can easily tune in to the purity of human vibrations, regulate and stabilize them. Tibetan lamas used crystal balls to open the “third eye.” They call rock crystal crystals “living”, because their 6 faces symbolize the 6 chakras of a person, converging to their peak - the seventh chakra directed upward into the Cosmos. Rock crystals are also used as talismans. They attract to their owner the joy of life, love, luck, sympathy of others, well-being and spiritual comfort. Also, rock crystal has been a powerful hunting talisman since ancient times. It was considered a living creature and was fed by dipping it in the blood of various sacrificial animals. If you put this stone under your pillow, it can relieve insomnia, nightmares and unreasonable fears.

I recently learned about this, and for some reason I wanted to tell you this particular story, although there are many others that confirm the power of talisman stones. One young man was convinced by his own example of the effect of the Tiger's Eye, which was his amulet. This stone is considered a very good amulet, taking on negative energy. And Tiger's Eye just loves money. The stone begins to intensely attract them and does not like to part with them. One day this young man went to an ATM to withdraw money and repay a debt to his friend. When it was his turn, the ATM suddenly broke down. Then the guy went to the bank. I came, but the bank was not working. Stones have the ability to accumulate information. For many years they may not manifest themselves in any way and keep their strength within themselves. It is very important to be able to customize your stone specifically for yourself. Many stones exhibit their properties much more strongly if you inherited them.

Causes

If you have stones, the reason for their occurrence may be the following:

• lack of systematic oral hygiene;
• use of low-quality accessories for brushing teeth;
• the presence of a large amount of dental plaque;
• violation of salt metabolism;
• increased viscosity of saliva, as a result of which it loses its cleansing properties and does not wash away plaque;
• insufficient consumption of solid foods, which promote self-cleaning;
• unilateral chewing of food (only on the left or only on the right side of the jaw) as a result of the presence of diseased or missing teeth in the patient’s mouth;
• increased roughness of the enamel surface as a result of filling or orthodontic treatment;
• smoking.
