Virtues and properties of Nephrite in lithotherapy
Nephrite, also known as nephrite jade (before the 19ᵉ century, jade and nephrite were considered the same stone), has been used for millennia, first in South America and China, then in Europe, for its fortifying action on the kidneys.
The benefits of Nephrite
Nephrite is an excellent stone for and who suffer from fears, anxieties or difficult obligations/pressures, especially on the material and financial fronts, as it diffuses a secure energy conducive to financial abundance.
A stone of balance symbolizing the "Middle Way" in Taoism, Nephrite has both Yin and Yang qualities and promotes optimal earth-sky alignment. It helps relieve tension and brings calm and serenity in all circumstances.
In times of stress and pressure, it invites you to preserve your identity, not to forget or lose yourself in the hustle and bustle and protects you from possible " mental attacks" from outside.
Nephrite can also help you make decisions whenyou're struggling to make a choice and, in times of difficulty or great demands, it gives you the courage, stamina and creativity you need to "make it through".
On a physical level, Nephrite, reputed to symbolize health and longevity, is known for its beneficial action on the kidneys, bladder and adrenal glands. It prevents the formation of kidney stones and helps with cystitis, incontinence and enuresis.
It can also help with sciatica and other problems associated with excess stress and pressure.
