The flu

Many people around you are coughing, sniffling, sneezing etc. Most of them have even been confronted with the flu in the last few months.

Before you start trying to heal, prevention is the order of the day: protecting yourself against bacteria before they reach you. Even though we are in the middle of winter, it is never too late to strengthen your immune system.

Personally, I prepare myself three months before winter with my home-made thyme mother tincture to get through this time without the flu. I pick the thyme flowers in summer in the mountains (1500 metres above sea level) in the middle of the day when the sun is at its strongest. This is when the concentration of essential oils is at its highest. Dosage: For adults, 5 drops daily, for children from 3 years 1 drop per day.

Well, for prevention with healing stones I recommend you:

Chrysocolla and heliotrope
- Chrysocolla is considered a good supplementary stone for the prevention of colds. It should be worn prophylactically for several days or weeks during the critical period.
– Heliotrope strengthens the non-specific immune defence and thus helps to ward off pathogens. Promotes psychological defence and isolation.

At the first signs of flu or a cold I recommend that you use heliotrope immediately.

The heliotrope is considered the No. 1 stone against influenza.
This stone should be used as soon as you feel the first fever, the first slight cold or the first scratchy throat. Heliotrope strengthens the body's first non-specific immune response, which attacks and fends off all foreign bodies in the body in equal measure. Corresponding to its physical effect, heliotrope also promotes the body's ability to defend itself and set boundaries on a psychological level.
However, if this first moment is missed, more stones must follow.
According to Michael Gienger, confirmed by independent doctors, therapists and gemstone consultants.

- Emerald: Activates and stabilises the immune system, favours detoxification and thus restores harmony in the body. Emerald thus prevents relapses and complications.
If you have a severe cold, put the healing stone in your mouth, but never while lying down (1-2 hours per day). Prevents the spread to the nasal mucous membranes and sinuses.
Caution: For children and older people, place the stone directly on the nostrils and near the eyebrows. Never put in the mouth: Risk of swallowing.

For acute illnesses with fever
– Oceanic chalcedony is effective if the fever persists. Recurrent fevers can thus be avoided.
- The Moss agate green is good for flu with fever. It stimulates the lymph flow, allowing toxic substances to be removed. Carry the stone with you for at least two days after healing.
Important: You should rest during the healing process.

Acute illness with sore throat or cough.
- Moss agate green relieves inflammation in the throat and pharynx and coughs and fights infections. It stimulates the lymph flow, which removes toxic substances. Keep the stone with you for at least two days after healing.

Acute illness with dry cough:
– Blue fluorite soothes irritating coughs and promotes the regeneration of mucous membranes.
- Edelopal alleviates respiratory diseases caused by dry coughs and strengthens the immune system.
- Moss agate green relieves inflammation in the throat and pharynx. Produces mucus, good healing stone for dry coughs. Carry the moss agate green stone with you for at least two days after healing.

Acute illness with mucus production
- Rutile quartz promotes the loosening of mucus, especially if you suffer from chronic bronchitis and asthma.

A very important part: Convalescence - preventing relapses.
– Sardonyx keeps the immune system on its toes. It recognises and destroys the remaining pathogens.
- Emerald activates and stabilises the immune system, promotes detoxification and thus restores harmony to the body.
Both stones thus prevent relapses and complications.

You may have noticed that certain stones can be used for various developments of flu or colds. That is fascinating!

I have received very positive feedback about the use of these healing stones. I usually suggest either preparing an energy water, placing the healing stones directly on the area to be treated or wearing either bracelets or necklaces. Every person is unique and you know what is good for you! Follow your intuition!
I hope you enjoy reading it and wish you a speedy recovery.
