The idea crystals carry healing benefits can be traced back to 3400 BC when the Ancient Sumerians used crystals in magic formulas. The Ancient Egyptians also used crystals in their jewellery to bring health and protection and ward off evil spirits. Today, crystal healing is a type of therapy which is used to balance certain aspects of a person s personality, mind or life in general. Every crystal has a unique energy and special properties which can alter how you feel or think. Crystals can be hugely beneficial for people’s mental health.
