Healing stones are minerals that are mined from the earth. They possess frequencies that work with your bodies energy frequencies to heal.  They can help with emotional, physical, mental and spiritual imbalances in the body.

In the Bible, Healing Stones are mentioned 1,704 times and in 124 Greek and Hebrew names.

The verses listed below are about the Breastplate that the High Priest wore in the Synagogue and the New Jerusalem’s foundation.

“Then mount four rows of precious stones on it. (Breastplate) In the first row there shall be a ruby, a topaz and a beryl; In the second row a turquoise, a sapphire and an emerald; In the third row a jacinth, an agate and an amethyst; In the fourth row a chrysolite, an onyx and a jasper. “
Exodus 28:17-20
The foundations of the city walls (New Jerusalem) were decorated with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.
Revelation 21:19-21
Precious Stones/Healing Stones can be used for Physical, Mental, Spiritual and Emotional imbalances.

Many people carry them in their pockets in small pouches or loose. Also, they can be worn as rings, necklaces, earrings, bracelets and anklets. I carry many healing stones in my Hermitage, Tn office (Nashville area).

The Native American Indians manufactured Turquoise for their healing and spiritual purposes. They understand that God gave the earth minerals for them to use to heal their body and spirit.

My grandparents, also used copper, a mineral, to help with their arthritis and inflammation.  The Dr had prescribed the precious mineral for their healing.

Remember : In The Beginning God Created the Heavens and the EARTH. Genesis 1:1     Our God doesn’t create things that aren’t for a purpose to help his people. (US)

Therapeutic Essential Oils and Aromatherapy Essential Oils?

Therapeutic Essential Oils are determined by the purity of the oil and its chemical constituents.
These constituents can be affected by a vast number of variables, they include, parts of the plant, soil conditions, fertilizers (organic), region of growth, climate, altitude, harvesting methods and how they are distilled.  Healing aromatic oils can easily be destroyed by high temperature and pressure, as well as chemical reactive metals such as copper.

Aromatherapy Essential Oils are successfully recreated.  Chemists change  the main constituents and fragrances of some essential oils in the laboratory.  So these synthetic oils lack the therapeutic benefits and may carry risks. Inferior quality or adulterated oils most likely will not produce therapeutic results and could possibly be toxic. The most adultrated oils are:  Lavender, Frankinscense, Peppermint.

So you need to decide for yourself if you want the Therapeutic Essential Oils that God made or the Aromatherapy Essential Oils that are Man made. Whatever your needs (therapeutic or smell good oils) make an educated decision about which oil will meet your needs or your loved one’s needs.  Just be aware that there is a great difference.

AFNOR (Association French Normalization Organization Regulation) &  ISO (International Standards Organization) standards, are guidelines to help us determine if we are using therapeutic grade or aromatherapy essential oils.

How important are toxins in our body?

In 1904, Nobel Prize-winning microbiologist, Dr Eli Metchnikoff discovered that if the body can’t get rid of a toxin, it recycles the substance back into its physiological processes. That can cause serious difficulties when the toxin interferes with normal bodily functions or is a carcinogen (a cancer-causing substance), both of which are good reasons to minimize toxic exposure and cleanse frequently.  There are seven distinct organs and organ systems are designed to filter and remove toxins from the body.  Together they are called the seven channels of elimination: the liver, lungs, lymphatic system, kidneys, skin, blood and bowel (or colon).

The Liver: is the body’s primary elimination organ. It weighs about 4 pounds and produces 13,000 different chemicals, maintains, 2,000 enzyme systems and filters about 100 gallons of blood daily.  Cleaner lifestyle choices such as choosing organic foods (grown without pesticides), limiting your alcohol intake and avoiding cigarettes are better for promoting healthy liver function.

The Lungs: expel carbon dioxide, a toxic waste product that would threaten your life without constant disposal.  You need air to live (you inhale and exhale about 10,000 liters of air every day), and your lungs provide the blood with life-giving oxygen while simultaneously disposing of toxic material.  Aerobic exercise helps your lungs function more efficiently.

The Skin: is the largest organ of the body; about 15% of your total body weight is skin.  It covers and protects the body while employing mucus and perspiration to shuffle toxins out.  When large numbers of toxins circulate in the blood and are dispersed into the dermal layers, your skin breaks out.  So cleansing and eliminating toxins a, cleanses your skin and helps maintain its healthy structure, reducing the chances of wrinkling and other imperfections.

The Kidneys: clean the blood and help maintain the health of the circulatory system.  Research shows that when your kidneys are not functioning at the peak, you are at greater risk for heart disease, heart failure, stroke and death.  Cranberries and cranberry juice are key dietary elements that help maintain kidney health.

The Lymphatic System : may be the MOST underappreciated system in the body.  However, the flow of lymph (a bodily fluid made up mainly of white blood cells) through organs, tissues, ducts and tubes helps transport harmful toxins to where they can be excreted, and it also assures the delivery of immune cells to the site of infection so that invading pathogens may be destroyed. Regular exercise and Lymphatic Massage with Decongestive Therapy assures the reliable flow of lymph through the body.

Blood: distributes nutrients, gases and hormones throughout the body and carries waste products to the organs in charge of their disposal.  A heart-healthy lifestyle that includes exercise and plenty of high-fiber fruits and vegetables can help keep your circulatory system functioning smoothly.

Bowel (Colon): and liver are often viewed as the TWO MOST important channels of elimination.  The colon function falters, the toxins in these waste products many be reabsorbed through the colon’s walls during a harmful process known as “autointoxication”. Getting plenty of fiber in your diet, as well as daily supplementation with healthy gut bacteria (probiotics), are crucial for optimum colon function.

Regular internal and external cleansing is essential for healthy detoxification.
