Effect of Gemstones on Physiological Functions

Abstract

Abstract
The gemstone therapy is one of the ancient and natural science followed in India million of years ago but lost in transition, is now gearing up with better understanding. This therapy is harmless with no side effect, and may resolve many forthcoming issues for the control of problems aroused. The gem therapy works on the concept of colors energy and can be called as color therapy. The modern science has observed the significant influence of colours on the human body. There is no doubt that the colours show a great influence on the system of human body. How they function it is not clearly understood. This conceptual study will throw a light upon the fact how Ayurvedic scholars used to cure/treat many diseases just by the oral or general (by wearing) use of gemstones. The biophysical or optical science forms the basis of such phenomenon which affects physiologically all the body systems and can thus affect the health of a person. Gemstones are useful astrologically as well as physiologically. This review article will be helpful in justifying the use of gemstones by individual from the scientific point of view and their physiological impact on basis of light therapy.
