Gem therapy has a history of thousands of years of Indian astrology. In ancient Vedic texts, like the Brihat Samhita, the origin and healing powers of various gems are discussed. According to planetary gemology, certain planets can affect the body, mind and subtle parts of our consciousness. Natural, untreated gemstones transmit and reflect cosmic rays to produce a balancing effect on the body that counters weakness and disease. By understanding astrological signs, chakra symbols or frequencies and the curative and cosmic power of gems, a qualified practitioner can correctly prescribe the appropriate gemstone treatment for an individual.

This book, "Gem Therapy", is written by a noted and highly esteemed practitioner and is considered a classic in its field.

Gem therapy is both a powerful tool for positive energy and a remedial measure. In some instances wearing the wrong gem can cause serious physical and/or mental problems.

You should accept gemstone recommendations only from a qualified Vedic astrologer, planetary gemologist or Ayurvedic practitioner well versed in this science.
