Those who suffer from anxiety know how debilitating the condition can be. So, anything that helps to relieve the jitters is worth knowing about.
Anxiety bracelets are a popular pick for those who are prone to wobbles. There are many types of anxiety bracelets from healing crystal renditions to fidget jewels which some say soothe the mind.
For example, amethyst is known as a calming crystal, while rose quartz brings love and emotional healing. Lapis lazuli will promote clarity and peace and black yourmaline carries grounding properties. While the scientific evidence behind the efficacy of crystals for combatting anxiety is limited, many like to incorporate the stones into their everyday wellness routines or carry them on their personal at all times. We may not have time to sink into a blissfully hot bubble bath or head to therapy each day, but we can certainly slip on a healing bracelet in a jiffy.
According to Calm Clinic: “Wristbands are not a substitute for treatment, but a useful way to augment other approaches.” Directed towards more spiritual shoppers, the gems can become a comforting part of a self-help practice, especially when paired with essential oils and affirmations. While they lack scientific backing, crystal bracelets have a storied history. They date back to Ancient Egypt, when civilians incorporated lapis lazuli, turquoise, carnelian, emerald and clear quartz in their jewellery. The gems were believed to offer protection and health.,
Crystals re-emerged for healing purposes during the New Age era. The counterculture used crystals during their holistic rituals, helping the gemstones to become more mainstream as time passed. A collective interest in personal and spiritual growth bloomed during the late Sixties and Seventies, with older divinatory practices like astrology, tarot and crystal healing piquing intrigue.
Crystals also look really pretty. They exude a boho beauty that will complement any everyday outfit. Often handcrafted by small businesses, the charms make for touching gifts and support craftsmanship.
