How Do Crystals Stones Work to Ease Depression 

Each crystal is believed to have its own unique properties owing to its unique constitution, colour and associated vibrations and energies. When these crystals are worn or kept around you intentionally, they interact with the energy system of your body that is the chakras and if the chakras are imbalanced, the crystals help to restore them by aiding energy flow.

Depression can occur when one or more of these chakras are imbalanced. So it is important to spend sometime to understand and identify the chakras that are blocked and causing depression along with other symptoms. Then use the crystals associated to that particular chakra can be used to aid your effort towards healing and eliminating the root cause of depression.
