Gemstones

Ancient Indian texts have demonstrated the power and efficacy of gem stones in astrological and medicinal applications. Popularly know as RATNA CHIKITSA, gem therapy has been in use since several hundred years in India. In ancient times, astrologers used to advise Kings and royal families to wear gems. This would help the royalty to increase wealth, power, status and popularity and for averting diseases and disasters. Charak Chikitsa, an ancient Indian medicinal text, often termed as the bible of natural medicine (Ayurveda) quotes several examples where gems have been effectively used to cure illnesses. Astrologers have studied the various aspects and the effects of different gem stones and concluded that different gemstones created distinct reactions in the human body. Different gem stones have different refractive indices and thereby absorb the different colors of the sun rays and allow only certain colors to pass through. This ability to filter light of certain wavelengths helps in producing the desired results. Depending upon the positions of the planets and their cause-effects, different gems are recommended to augment or neutralize the effects. As in medicine, the doctor prescribes antibiotics along with the vitamins. Gem therapy similarly uses a combination of gems for the best results. The difference between an astrologer and a Doctor is that the Doctor can prescribe medicine AFTER the symptoms appear -- the astrologer can predict the effects so that one can take preventive steps. The accuracy of diagnosis as well as the quality / purity of the medicines play an important part in the efficacy of any healing – likewise, in gem therapy the accuracy of interpretation as well as quality / source of gem stones are important.

Vedic astrology states that there are nine gems which are assigned to nine planets i.e. Ruby, Pearl, Coral, Emerald, Yellow Sapphire, Diamond, Blue Sapphire, Hessonite and Cat's eyes are assigned for Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, The Dragon's Head and The Dragon's tail respectively. Indian ancient texts give ample details of their efficacy along with details of 84 other gems stones. In my experience of last 34 years, I have experienced that these Gems, when used properly, have produced desired result. To get the desired results, the gemstone should be purchased on a particular day and time (Nakshatra) and should be worn with proper procedures, only after completing appropriate rituals to energize the gems.
