Crystals to Support Side Effects from Cancer Treatment
When someone receives a cancer diagnosis, the first reaction is not always positive. The word “Cancer” brings fear, anxiety and dispair.
According to MacMillan, a person is diagnosed with Cancer in the UK every 90 seconds. A scary statistic.
But let’s also consider that technology and pharma have also moved on meaning people are diagnosed earlier and treatments are always improving, leading to more people surviving a cancer diagnosis.
Holistic Therapy
Treatments such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hormone blockers and other traditional medicine are vitally important for treating cancer. However, often it is the side effects of these treatments that have the wort effect. Nausea, fatigue, constipation, diarrhea, hot flushes, you name it, it probably happens.
Which is where alternative, holistic or complementary therapies come into play.
The Role of Crystals
When I was diagnosed with breast cancer the second time, crystals was one of the ways that I supported myself during that journey.
I daily shoved crystals into my bra and wrote a blog about that here https://thewholisticwarrior.com/crystals-in-my-bra/
But there are other crystals that can help support you in other ways. Crystals can be worn, held or placed on an area of the body whilst lying down, or sitting if you can manage it!
What is Crystal Healing
Crystal healing uses crystals to try to improve your health, and many cancer patients say it helps them feel better physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
In crystal healing, crystals are placed on or near your body to help improve energy flow and create balance. Each crystal is believed to have its own energy, vibration, and frequency, offering different healing benefits.
This therapy is often used along with standard cancer treatments like chemotherapy and radiotherapy to help ease side effects and support the body’s natural healing.
How to use Crystals
There are several ways to use crystals:
- Crystal jewellery: Choose a crystal that feels right for you and wear it as a necklace, bracelet, or earrings. This lets you carry its energy with you every day.
- Meditation: Hold a crystal during meditation to help focus your thoughts and connect with its healing energy. You can also place it on your body while you breathe deeply.
- Crystal grid: Arrange several crystals in a pattern to boost their energy. Set up a grid in your home or workspace to encourage healing and positivity.
- Body placement: If you have areas that hurt or feel uncomfortable, try placing a crystal there.
- Massage: You can also use crystals as massage tools during self-massage to help relax and ease muscle tension
What Crystals to use?
Here are some suggestions for crystals to use
Anxiety
There are several options to help with anxiety including blue lace agate, lepidolite, petalite, rose quartz and black tourmaline.
Constipation
Try smokey quartz or red calcicte around the lower stomach area.
Diarrhea
Good options to choose are red jasper or snowflake osidian
Headache
For headaches and migraines, try celestite, blue calcite. My favourite is black tourmaline.
Immune System
To help boost the immune system during treatment, consider placing crystals such as citrine, ruby, red jasper, orange or honey calcite anywhere between your ribs and pelvic area.
Fatigue
Treatment is exhausting and fatigue is real. To help with energy, try citrine, hematite, ruby, or red jasper.
Insomnia
To go along with fatigue, there is often the inability to sleep or get a decent nights sleep. Try using selenite, angelite, amethyst or rose quartz
