    About this ebook

    Effective and healthy remedies produced by infusing water with appealing crystalline energies are carefully described in this informative manual. The first part covers aspects of preparation, featuring deceptively simple processes such as the boiling method, the water vapor method, and the test tube method--all of which can be easily mastered by crystal healing enthusiasts. After outlining the correct methods to use and listing poisonous crystals as a safety precaution, the book examines more than 100 usable crystals and 34 special mixtures, revealing their intended uses and effects for the optimum in therapeutic results.

    Michael Gienger

    Michael Gienger (1964-2014) was one of Europe’s most respected experts on crystals and their uses, a field in which he had been active since 1988. He started collecting minerals in 1972, and in 1985 a successful self-treatment with healing crystals inspired him to pursue further training as an alternative healing practitioner. He was trained in shiatsu and completed a two-year apprentice in shamanic healing. He went on to author more than 20 publications, a number of which have become standard works in their field and have been translated into 11 languages.

      The gem water handbook

      Following the publication of their first book, Edelsteinwasser, (published in German, by Neue Erde 2006) and in the wake of the number of crystals used for gem water having doubled in the course of just one year, the authors Michael Gienger and Joachim Goebel soon realized that they needed to write a second volume. Benefiting from the authors’ recent experiences with new ways of using gem water as a healing remedy, this new book forms an ideal introduction to the subject. It explains the basic principles and the different methods of making gem water and gives tried and tested gem water ‘recipes’, along with a directory of the best crystals to use and their different effects.

      It is becoming apparent that, when used in gem water preparations, healing crystals do not have quite the same effects as when they are applied or worn externally as gems or stones. Water as a medium influences the crystals and the effects they produce. It seems that the nature of water causes a selection process to take place. This book therefore does not describe all the known effects of the healing crystals themselves, but mainly their therapeutic effects when combined with water. It forms an essential guide to the use of gem water as a healing remedy for yourself or for others.

      Since no other branch of crystal healing is currently developing at quite such speed, it is impossible to produce a book at the current time that is guaranteed to be complete, but the authors are keen to make their knowledge and experience available to anyone interested in the subject – so that further effects can be researched and uses developed that can be of benefit to everyone.

      Basic principles of gem water application

      Mineral water and gem water

      During the production of gem water, information contained in the rocks, minerals and crystals that are used is transferred to the water. When gem water is taken internally or applied externally it therefore has similar effects to when the crystals themselves are used in healing. Crucially however, it is not any physical substance from the crystal that is transferred to the water – the crystal does not dissolve in it – it is solely energy from the crystal that is conveyed. Gem waters are therefore ‘healing aids and applications’, similar to homeopathic remedies or Bach flower essences. Their effectiveness relies on the information contained in the gem water, not in the water or crystal itself.

      This is the difference between gem waters and mineral waters, by which we normally mean water that is enriched by traces of minerals.

      Mineral water can also be taken as a healing remedy. For example, the mineral water from some springs is used to treat eye problems, kidney problems, digestive disturbances, rheumatism and many other complaints. Which mineral waters really do offer some health benefits and which do not is, however, something over which experts disagree – but it is always the type and amount of minerals dissolved in the water and their biochemical effects that is debated. By contrast, gem waters are, if possible, created in such a way that no minerals, or as few as possible, are dissolved in the water. Ideally, the water does not undergo any physical changes, but despite this the water is altered as most people can tell from the taste. Depending on the crystal and water used, the water appears softer, fresher, and sometimes even tastier. The growth of bacteria in gem water is also slowed, so the water does not become stale so quickly, as demonstrated in a study carried out at the Hygiene Consultation Centre Pestel in Schwäbisch-Gmünd (Germany). Water that was left standing in the open, and which had been energized with Quartz,
