Fertility crystals; what are they, which ones should you use, and can they actually help with getting pregnant, or is it all just a scam? Let’s investigate!
What are fertility crystals?
Many people believe that health issues can stem from problems, or ‘blockages’ in energy centers (often referred to as “chakras”) within the body, and it’s thought that these issues can be solved by specific types of crystals.
Folklore tells us that each crystal has its own electromagnetic field, which can be used help to regulate imbalances within the body, or release blockages that might be causing harm.
If you’re a big believer in crystal healing, you’ll know there’s a stone for every ailment – but fertility crystals tend to be the ones that are in tune with our heart chakra, root chakra (spine and pelvic floor), and sacral chakra (above the belly button).
But do they work?
Despite the lack of solid science around the subject, it only takes a quick Google search to find thousands of personal accounts and anedotes claiming that the healing power of fertility crystals can help both women and men when starting a family.
Whether you believe these accounts or not is very much up to you, but there’s no denying the power of a placebo . If carrying crystals can make you feel like you’re taking control of a situation, you may find that it also helps to lower your stress levels – and that, in turn, may help to boost your reproductive viability.
Here at TDS, we always recommend seeking expert medical advice before you look into alternative therapies, but if you think crystals may help you along your fertility journey, let’s take a look at the best ones to use!
