The 5 Most Powerful Crystals for Healing
Since medieval times, people have turned to crystals for healing. Everything has a vibrational frequency from plants to emotions to crystals. Every thought, emotion, and action vibrates on a specific frequency. Many celebrities these days love to surround themselves with crystals too. Kim Kardashian even uses crystals in her perfume line.
Good news is that you don’t have to be an expert in crystals in order to use them. Many people are simply drawn to certain ones and follow their instincts, choosing what they like. Each crystal has their own meaning, energy, properties and can address specific needs.

Once you have the crystals for healing that you want, make sure you cleanse them regularly. There are many ways to do this but one of the easiest methods is just to leave them in a windowsill for a day so that the moon and sun can recharge them. If you don't, the energy that was absorbed into the crystal previously could be transferred back to you.
