by Michael Gienger and Wolfgang Maier
In this book, the authors have created a simple, yet highly effective self-care treatment system for addressing common health ailments using gemstones and the organ clock circadian rhythm of each organ system.
In addition to facilitating early and accurate diagnosis, this organ clock lets the practitioner apply therapies to the organ’s meridians when they are at their peak functioning point, thereby eliciting the greatest benefit.
They detail the healing benefits of 83 crystals, indicating the physical as well as emotional, psychic and spiritual aspects supported in each of 12 major organ systems. For example, the stomach not only receives nourishment for the body, but it also fosters the ability to engage in new things in life.
Agate and calcite assist this function by giving confidence for new experiences, while aiding in digestion and processing hard-to-digest thoughts. Treatments for the stomach should be done between 7 and 9 a.m., the time we typically take in nourishment after a night of sleep, to receive maximal results.
With each body system in turn, the authors explain how to select the stones best suited to address your current health concerns, the times of day they should be used and how long each treatment should last in order to restore optimal health and prevent the onset of future illness.
