What is lithotherapy?

​The term “lithotherapy” is etymologically born from the fusion of the following two words: “lithos” and “therapeia”. The first means "stone" and the second means "cure". By making a literal translation, we can therefore deduce the following meaning of the word "lithotherapy": "cure by stone".

The simplest definition that we can then give of lithotherapy is care through stones. It is a discipline that mainly uses precious stones as well as minerals to cure ailments of different types. These stones and minerals would be concentrated in what is called "fine energy", the very one that is supposed to bring healing. Its field of action is not just physical, lithotherapy would also be able to treat spiritual and mental disorders.

Before our era, it was in antiquity that this method of care had the most success. It was used by many peoples such as the Mayans, Egyptians, Chinese, Atlanteans and Native Americans.
