What stone is placed under the pillow?
The secrets of preserving, maintaining and restoring health have interested people at all times. Humanity has tried literally everything possible, wanting to retain the slipping youth, regain good health, or even dreaming of achieving immortality. People did not ignore natural precious stones and minerals – and here, oddly enough, they were able to achieve serious success. Ancient cultures around the world, to one degree or another, used gems not only to accumulate wealth and satisfy cultural and aesthetic needs, but also to prolong active life. Many jewelry, both women’s and men’s, had several purposes in addition to the public demonstration of status. Semi-precious and precious stones were worn to protect against “plagues”, get rid of chronic pain syndromes, harmonize the emotional state, feel cheerfulness and self-confidence, and attract good luck. In the modern world, these practices have not disappeared anywhere. Gems are still successfully used in lithotherapy, various types of massage, feng shui, astrology and many other practices related to spiritual and mystical quests. And the first thing people ask gems for is, of course, health. After all, without it, all the other joys of life become less important. Some stones have a greater healing effect, others less. Which of the many minerals supports health better than others?
Garnet
It is no coincidence that this gem is associated with a huge supply of vital energy. The most common type of garnet (also known as pyrope) is distinguished by its rich shade of red. In fact, garnets come in green, yellow, brown and even black, but scarlet ones are the most popular. Garnets are credited with the ability to dispel melancholy, restore former self-confidence, nourish muscles with strength, and make a person incredibly attractive to the opposite sex. In a sense, this stone resembles a natural battery that recharges a person oppressed by a complex psychological state, exhausted by illness or stress. An incredible feature of pomegranate is its ability to cleanse the body of waste and toxins, promote sports and restore good physical shape. These gems are used to increase libido and relieve inflammation. Pomegranate has a positive effect on the functioning of the heart, stomach, thyroid gland, and respiratory system. Under the influence of this gem, the body, freed from slagging and negative emotional states, begins an active process of self-healing and wound healing. In modern society, which is under constant stress, does not have the opportunity to eat well and, in principle, fully deal with the issue of health, this gem is incredibly in demand.
Amethyst
Another “scourge” of our time is insomnia, problems with the nervous system, headaches, disruptions in the endocrine system and variable dysfunctions of the visual apparatus. Almost every adult has encountered something from this list. Amethyst will help with all this. It is used to restore the normal functioning of higher nervous activity, improve the functioning of the pituitary gland, pineal gland, and relieve stress. The stone returns good sleep to the owner, relieves headaches and anxiety. And when a person’s mental state is at the proper positive level, “physics” also begins to improve. A person becomes more active, positive, gets rid of many bad habits, his blood is cleansed, and the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and endocrine system is normalized. Amethyst is also recommended to be worn when you begin to notice that your thinking has become unclear, confused and extremely negative. This gem harmonizes the energies of mental processes, however, wearing it for too long is also not recommended due to hyperstimulation of the nervous system – you need to give rest to both yourself and the stone. Experts use amethyst when diagnosing the state of a patient’s energies: if a person’s “spiritual powers” are severely depleted or the aura is critically damaged, the stone will become noticeably darker – and vice versa, the lighter the gem, the better your condition becomes.
Onyx
Chronic disorders in the gastrointestinal tract, inflammatory difficulties in the intestines, the development of tumor processes, premature aging of the skin – all these problems are extremely common today throughout the world. Due to the poor quality of food, poor environment and high levels of stress, the gastrointestinal tract is, of course, one of the first to suffer, causing a person daily discomfort, which over time can develop into a much more serious problem. Constantly wearing onyx (naturally, together with traditional treatment methods and adjusting the usual diet) helps restore the normal digestive process and metabolism. In ancient times, when colic occurred in the abdomen, this stone was applied directly to the sore spot, and then washed in salt water to wash away the disease that it had taken over. By restoring the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, a person directly strengthens the immune system, begins to better resist stress and seasonal colds, has more strength for everyday activities and improves skin condition. We can say that by correcting one system of the body, it helps everyone else. A person is getting younger before our eyes.
Pearl
This stone is directly related to water. And it has an incredible effect on water and salt metabolism in the human body. It is also believed that pearls are useful for difficulties with hearing, vision, and diseases of the female genital organs. Experts in ancient healing practices suggest that pearls help painlessly remove sand and small stones from the kidneys. Since ancient times, this gem has been used to treat teeth, purify blood and restore its volume in case of great loss. Restored water and salt metabolism allows a person to safely lose weight, get rid of toxins, and improve the functioning of the immune system. Girls wearing pearls become even more feminine over time, their skin becomes clearer, their eyes become clear and pure. However, you need to wear pearls with positive thoughts. This stone does not like evil people; in their hands it quickly “dries up” and crumbles. Please note that if a pearl that constantly touches your skin suddenly becomes cloudy and becomes “oily,” it means that some negative change is occurring in your body, requiring additional diagnostics from a specialist.
Rhinestone
One of the most popular “harmonizers” of general human energy, stimulating the natural restoration of health. Since ancient times, it was believed that rock crystal was able to soothe pain, relieve depression, and relieve insomnia and nightmares. Crystal was even used to detect poisons in food. Depending on how exactly you wear this gem, you can influence the functioning of certain body systems. For example, rhinestone in a bracelet on your hand will prevent the formation of blood clots. To restore gallbladder function, place the stone on the right side of your abdomen. To normalize sleep, crystal is placed under the pillow. Nursing mothers are advised to wear a crystal necklace to ensure they always have enough milk. Modern scientists have proven that the rays of the sun passing through this gem are better at killing pathogenic bacteria and microbes. Rock crystal is worn by everyone who wants to restore liver function, improve vision, get rid of dropsy, and disorders in the genitourinary system. Experts in ancient healing practices believe that this gem can be worn by absolutely everyone, regardless of gender and age. Rhinestone is universal and helps everyone. 
Since ancient times, representatives of various peoples from various parts of our planet have endowed stones with various magical and healing properties. Even such ancient Greek scientists as Plato, Heradotus and Theophrastus were convinced that stones could cure many diseases. Amulets and amulets were made from minerals, which, according to beliefs, protected their owners from the evil eye, enemies and ailments, and also bestowed strength, courage and wisdom. Be that as it may, many people today believe in the miraculous spells of stones, including their ability to influence dreams. According to esotericists, stones placed under the pillow or simply near the bed before going to bed can become an excellent protection against nightmares, as well as a guarantee of pleasant and even prophetic dreams. Moonstone is a translucent mineral that, according to legend, is nothing more than solidified moonlight. According to experts, moonstone has a positive effect on a person’s emotional state, namely, it relieves stress and negative thoughts, relieves fatigue, gives confidence and even treats insomnia. Therefore, if you put this mineral under your pillow, your sleep will become deep and calm, and disturbing and dull dreams will be replaced by pleasant and bright ones. 
Purple stone called amethyst, according to lithotherapists, that is, specialists involved in treatment with the help of various minerals, has a number of useful properties. In particular, it strengthens the functioning of the glands and strengthens the nervous system. Amethyst is also used to treat headaches and sleep disorders. However, amethyst not only normalizes sleep, but is also capable of inducing prophetic dreams. All you have to do is talk about the problem that is tormenting you with the stone, and then place it under your pillow, and the next morning you will already know how to cope with difficulties.

According to experts, a mineral called jet or “black amber”. In ancient times, jet was used as an amulet to ward off evil spirits. It is one of the few minerals that is always warm to the touch.

Pearl not only helps to cure all kinds of diseases of internal organs, but also promotes relaxation and stress relief. Pearls can induce intuitive dreams. Moreover, sea pearls have a higher potential than river pearls. However, evil, envious and weak-willed people should not deal with pearls. It is suitable only for those who strive for self-improvement and self-knowledge.

The inhabitants of ancient Egypt believed that carnelian was a frozen sunset sun. This stone protects from the evil eye and from all sorts of phenomena that may be the result of the influence of evil forces, and in particular, carnelian blocks the way to bad dreams. 
Ruby literally absorbs everything that surrounds it, and just as easily gives it away. That is why this stone copes well with pain, but can also increase aggression. In this regard, ruby should not be worn by cruel and domineering natures. However, the healing properties of the stone are confirmed even by scientists’ experiments. A ruby can ward off danger from its owner and help one see signs that are inaccessible to the normal eye. These signs can appear to the owner of a ruby even in a dream. 
Iridescent, beautiful and joyful dreams are promised by esotericists to those who fall asleep clutching a stone called jasper. This mineral has strong energy and helps with depression, anxiety and insomnia. And in ancient times, jasper was placed at the head of the bed of lagging students. It was believed that the stone bestows intelligence and talents.

That is why it is worth acquiring an emerald for those who want to see clear dreams and, with the help of them, receive answers to questions of interest.
