When it comes to wellness, then the amethyst has a long history in many cultures. As well as it is a stunning gemstone, many cultures have used it throughout time for its purification and energy properties. Even to this day, it is still used for this purpose.
During the times of the ancient Egyptians, when the empire was at its most powerful, the army would wear this amazing stone to give them protection while fighting.
Chinese medicine is well known for using many natural products, and amethyst was ground down so that people could consume it to help with mental issues and pain.
The Romans and Greeks would use drinking goblets made from amethyst, as it was reported to prevent intoxication. The word amethyst goes back to the ancient Greeks, meaning "not intoxicated" or "sober". Eventually, this wonderful stone spread all over Europe, and during the Middle Ages, it was used to lower anxiety and to soothe anger in people.
Leonardo da Vinci was well known for making use of this stone. During the Renaissance years, he thought that it helped him keep a balanced mind, remove poisons from the body, and eliminate evil thoughts. Although eating amethyst is no longer recommended, it is not toxic.
Alternative medical practitioners use this gem today to help with immune deficiencies, addiction, and toxicity. Modern science likes to look closely at everything to understand what is going on, and this gemstone has come under much scrutiny.
Research has shown that amethyst has conductive properties, which are thought to help the body channel energy. The designers of the HealthyLine InfraMat Pro™ use amethyst to cover the parallel channels on the surface. The InfraMat Pro™ helps to amplify, up to seven inches into the body, the negative ions and far infrared rays that it produces.
Some of this stone's myths are true thanks to modern scientific research. We know that hangovers will not be prevented just by drinking from a goblet made from amethyst, but the InfraMat Pro™ will aid with the detoxification of the body.
