Catherine, can you please give me a stone to protect me from the coronavirus?

This virus attacks our immune system. It is therefore important for me to know whether you are at risk, whether you have recovered from an infection or whether you need a stone for protection. These factors are important for the selection of stones. The good news is that there is a solution for every "problem".

Heliotrope is particularly helpful for incipient illnesses or purulent processes. In both cases, it supports the immune defence in killing off pathogens and thus "excluding" the disease (either keeping it out of the body or limiting it locally). Heliotrope also promotes the ability to protect oneself emotionally, to set boundaries and to ward off unwanted influences.

Chrysocolla strengthens the immune system by cleansing the tissue and lymphatic system. It can be used as a preventative in cases of high susceptibility to infection or to accelerate healing during illness. Chrysocolla also helps you to become more mentally stable, especially if you feel overwhelmed, confused or emotionally completely out of balance.

Epidote helps to rebuild the immune system after serious illnesses and to normalise bodily functions. It is mainly used when there is severe weakness or susceptibility to infection for a long time after an illness. Mentally, epidote also helps with states of exhaustion caused by overwork, stress and painful experiences. It makes it easier to overcome frustration, sorrow, self-pity and grief and thus improves one's own mental state.

Ocean agate (Ocean jasper) is one of the best immune-boosting healing stones. It promotes detoxification and purification of the tissue, the flow of lymph and the responsiveness of the immune system. It can be used preventively in times of high risk of infection as well as in all phases of viral or bacterial infections. It is particularly helpful for persistent or very debilitating illnesses. Here it brings new strength and new vigour to the healing process.

All the healing stones mentioned should be worn over a longer period of time as a bracelet, necklace, pendant, drilled tumbled stone or gemstone to strengthen the immune system. It is also possible and useful to take the gemstone water internally (200 - 300 ml in sips throughout the day).
