Do you feel like an energetic blockage? A lithotherapy session with us might just be what you need to restore balance to the flow of energy through your meridian energy channels. Here’s what you should know about the history of lithotherapy and the use of stones for functional medicine.

It is believed that each stone was thought to possess different curative properties and could aid in everything from pregnancy and childbirth to indigestion and animal bites.
Today, lithotherapy is considered a form of functional medicine and is more commonly referred to as crystal healing. We provide patients with highly personalized, non-invasive lithotherapy sessions where the energy and color of stones are used to remove energy blockages in order to restore balance to the body’s meridian energy channels.

Some may ask you to select crystals you are naturally attracted to, indicating that your body is intuitively connected to its healing needs. Recommend ways of using lithotherapy include:
