Remember the stories of grandmothers about how our ancestors lived until they were one hundred and did not complain about their health all their lives, until their very old age? The current mature generation is forced to struggle with dozens of ailments, from serious pathologies to a banal loss of strength. Scientists agree that man-made disasters of the 20th century, an unfavorable ecological environment and an accelerated pace of life have led to the fact that our body has become more vulnerable.
The risks of disease can be accepted. And you can, without waiting for the first “bells,” take a stand to protect your health.
Tourmaline products have long been an element of modern therapy. Several decades ago, progressive scientists and doctors turned to the ancient method of treatment using tourmaline. It turned out that Chinese healers used this mineral long before the beginning of our era, and in the Middle Ages they made amulets and healing jewelry from it.
Today, tourmaline products have received worldwide recognition. And the merit of this is not advertising, but the miraculous capabilities of the “sun stone”. It’s not for nothing that he got this big name. Tourmaline is one of those minerals that are called natural healers.
Unlike the so-called “ornamental stones” - garnet, turquoise, rock crystal, pearls, it has pronounced healing properties, confirmed by researchers.
So, let's figure out what tourmaline products are.
Colors
No gemstone has such a variety of colors as tourmaline.
And although it has been known in the Mediterranean since ancient times, tourmaline was brought to Europe from Ceylon by the Dutch in 1703. They called it the Sinhalese word “tourmali”. Along with plain ones, polychrome tourmalines are often found. In one crystal of such tourmaline, areas of different colors or shades can be distinguished. Among collectors, light-colored tourmaline crystals with a black head are called the Moor's head, and those with a red head are called the Turk's head.
Often the color distribution is zonal. In Brazil, for example, there are tourmalines with a red core, bordered first by light green, and then by dark green and green zones. South African tourmalines have a green core surrounded by a red outer zone. Collectors call tourmalines with a red core and a green “rind” watermelon.
There is probably no other such colorful stone in nature. There are many color options for tourmaline: in addition to all the colors of the rainbow, it can be black, colorless, plain and polychrome (multicolor). Polychrome crystal has different colors at the poles and can be colored in circles.
Rules for using tourmaline products
When using tourmaline products, you must follow the following rules and be aware that:
- 1. Tourmaline products are not used at high body temperatures, with a tendency to bleeding, with disturbances in temperature sensitivity, as well as in areas of the body where there are skin lesions.
- 2. For acute soft tissue injuries, it can be used no earlier than 24 hours after injury.
- H. Do not use the product during or after hemorrhagic strokes.
- 4. Do not use the product if you have hyperthyroidism.

- 6. Use products with caution if your body is individually prone to allergies, as well as if you are intolerant.
- 7. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should avoid using products containing tourmaline.
- 8. Young children should refrain from using tourmaline products.
The procedure for using the products must be correct, that is, the time of the first sessions should not exceed 10-15 minutes 2 times a day. After a week, the time of one session can be increased to 15-20 minutes 2 times a day, increasing by 1 minute daily. Then after a week, increase to 20 minutes 3 times a day and maintain this regimen for three months.
Take a break for a month, then the course can and should be repeated. If well tolerated, tourmaline products can be used for 8 hours during sleep, but this duration must be achieved gradually. You shouldn't overdo anything.
You should also be aware that when using the product, slight redness may occur in the area where it is applied, accompanied by a burning sensation. No need to worry about this! These phenomena are normal and disappear after removing the product.
Varieties
The main varieties have their own names:
- rubellite - red, ruby red is especially valued;
- verdelite - green, emerald green is especially valued;
- dravite - brown: from yellowish-brown to dark brown;
- indigolite - blue and light blue;
- achroite - colorless, rare;
- sibirite - crimson, lilac-red, red-violet;
- sherl - black;
- watermelon tourmaline - with a red core and a green border.
Tourmaline cat's eye comes in different colors, but only the green and pink varieties have a clearly visible streak of light. Its appearance is due to inclusions of fibrous minerals. Some tourmalines slightly change color when exposed to artificial light.
Color range of stones
The shade of the crystal can be almost any, the total number of shades reaches 50. All samples of primary colors have acquired their own names over the centuries. Thus, green tourmaline is called Brazilian emerald. And although these minerals have nothing in common, the similarity of names can be misleading. The green mineral is the most common. In different deposits, the gem has different shades.
Pink tourmaline is found throughout the planet. The most extensive deposits were discovered in Brazil and Russia. The gem also has several shades, the most expensive being ruby and red. This type of mineral is called rubellite.
Gold ring with tourmaline (go to the SUNLIGHT catalog)
The most unusual color is the simultaneous combination of red, green and white. The gem is called watermelon tourmaline for its resemblance to berry slices.
Perhaps the only opaque variety of the mineral is black. Black samples contain large amounts of iron. The name of the gem is sherl.
Paraiba tourmaline is the most expensive crystal of the entire variety of this mineral. The gem deposit is located in Brazil (state of Paraiba). The stone can be blue, indigo or emerald; its brightness and brilliance make this mineral stand out among its relatives.
Properties
When a crystal is heated or squeezed or rubbed, it creates an electrical charge.
In this case, one end of the crystal is charged positively, and the other - negatively. Such an electrified crystal attracts dust particles and small pieces of paper (pyro- and piezoelectricity). The Dutch sailors and merchants who first brought this mineral to Europe knew and used this effect. They cleaned their meerschaum pipes with heated tourmaline crystals, and therefore called this stone “aschenzier” - drawing out ash.
Doctors' opinions and reviews
Many doctors are skeptical about treatment with tourmaline products; tourmaline is not used in traditional medicine. If we analyze the reviews of orthopedic doctors, they can be divided into several categories regarding use:
- The use of crystals in physical therapy has been poorly studied, and it is completely unclear how the minerals affect diseased joints. However, the situation has improved significantly in patients using knee braces.
- Using knee pads you can warm up an injured knee; they are often compared to heating pads.
- The effectiveness of the use of tourmaline is evidenced by cured patients. The effect will not be only from those products that use fake tourmaline.
Many experts note that due to the growing popularity of products, cases of purchasing counterfeits have become more frequent.
Selling jewelry with tourmaline
Tourmaline produces such bright jewelry that it invariably lifts the mood of its owner, and in combination with other colored stones it is a real kaleidoscope of colors. In the MUZ collections you will find rings and earrings with tourmaline and colored enamel; you can also order a pendant with this stone in the online store miuz.ru.
How to distinguish natural tourmaline from a fake Tourmaline is usually imitated using glass of different colors and various types of synthetic garnets, as well as other materials that are similar in their external characteristics.
You can distinguish a natural stone from glass by holding a sample in your hands: the glass will quickly heat up, and real tourmaline will remain cold longer.
An easy way to spot a fake. All natural tourmalines have a pronounced property - the ability to become electrified. This is an excellent diagnostic method: rub the stone on natural woolen fabric, and then bring it, for example, to finely cut pieces of paper - they should be attracted.
Paraiba tourmaline has a neon blue glow; the stone sparkles even at dusk. And if you expose a cut stone to the sun’s rays, it begins to “burn” so that it does not provide shade. However, it is very rare and expensive, so it is unlikely that you will find jewelry with it.
The effect of using tourmaline products
The effect of using tourmaline products is multifaceted and varied. Here are just a few positive consequences of their use:
- 1. Balancing the biocurrent of the human body.
Due to the fact that, as already mentioned, a microcurrent of 0.06mA, corresponding to the biocurrent of the body, circulates on the surface of tourmaline all the time, it can at any time replenish and bring it back to normal, eliminating the pathological potential, thus playing a healing role for the body as a whole . - 2. Isolation of infrared rays.
The infrared rays released by tourmaline create a resonance effect in the molecules of tissues and body fluids, which dilates capillary vessels and increases the speed of blood flow. This leads to an increase in the content of oxygen, activated protein and other macromolecular matter in the body. This enhances the restoration and regenerative abilities of tissues and strengthens the immune system. - 3. Release of negative ions.
The negative ions released by tourmaline affect the atmosphere, improving air quality. They have the effect of sterilization, disinfection and air purification, while a person does not experience any unpleasant sensations; these processes take place externally unnoticed by those in the room. In addition, negatively charged ions stimulate cellular metabolism, increase cell vitality, calm the nerves, eliminate fatigue, increase appetite, and so on. - 4. Activation of cells using a natural energy field
Due to the fact that tourmaline crystals are essentially a natural solar battery, they can absorb and accumulate solar energy, convert it into electricity, that is, biocurrent, and thermal energy, that is, infrared rays . Then they are released and form a tourmaline energy field that energizes the body's cells. - 5. Effective protection from harmful radiation
An important property of tourmaline is that it can effectively protect the body from harmful radiation, such as electromagnetic waves, pulse waves, etc.; - 6. Contains a large number of trace elements and regulates the physiological functions of the body
Multi-colored tourmaline contains many different trace elements beneficial to the human body, which regulate metabolism and maintain normal nutritional balance and physiological functions of the body.
Thus , using tourmaline products, a person experiences a variety of beneficial effects on his body, which is expressed in such effects as:
- anesthesia,
- improvement of nervous trophism,
- improvement of blood supply, including microcirculation, destruction of atherosclerotic plaques and blood clots,
- cleansing the body of metabolic products, reducing blood glucose and cholesterol levels,
- normalization of the function of the endocrine system (pancreas, adrenal glands, ovaries, thyroid gland),
- anti-edematous and anti-inflammatory effect,
- normalization of metabolism, improvement of nutrition,
- tightening and rejuvenating effect,
- normalization of blood pressure,
- improvement of blood counts.
The effect of this material is literally miraculous. However, of course, precautions must be taken when using it. After all, all people have some individual characteristics that can cause an unexpected reaction of the body to seemingly completely harmless things. In addition, any material naturally requires some special conditions when used.

Tourmaline bracelet: true or false
The effectiveness of tourmaline bracelets is a topic around which controversy has not ceased for many years. And despite quite a lot of interest in this remedy, there is not much research on its study.
A few things can be said for sure:
- back in 1880, the Curie family identified and proved the high adsorbing properties of this mineral. It is still actively used in medicine to remove heavy metals from the body;
- the presence of infrared and ionic radiation from tourmaline has been scientifically proven, which is also used in classical medicine to treat various diseases;
- Today, tourmaline is widely used in microelectronics, medicine, and various equipment.
If we talk about the reviews of medical specialists on the effectiveness of tourmaline effects on the body, then there is no clear opinion. But most doctors agree that this mineral can act as a supplement to the main treatment, accelerating the patient’s recovery.
An analysis of reviews from those who have used tourmaline products for treatment and health maintenance suggests that most users are satisfied with the result and have experienced a positive effect on themselves.
