Stones, especially gemstones, were believed to have healing powers thousands of years ago. Evidence suggests that stones played an important role in medicine among the ancient Egyptians and also in India and were already used for a type of gemstone massage back then. However, stones were not only important healing remedies in the distant past, but were also used as a means of healing in the Middle Ages. After that, the importance of gemstones in terms of medicine and healing was lost sight of.

Stones and their healing powers have only been making a comeback for just over twenty years. For a few years now, people have been turning to tried and tested healing methods to combat ailments: gemstone therapy or gemstone massage is being practised again. It is said that gemstones have calming powers that create a balance in people. Nowadays, gemstone massage is combined with acupressure and meridian theory and taught at massage schools.
