Stones against sciatica
WARNING: The use of Lithotherapy does not in any way replace traditional medical care. The ShivShakti store systematically recommends medical advice.

Gemstones that help fight sciatica and back pain
- Smoky Quartz for Prevention
- Rose Quartz for Emotional and Psychological Pain
- Red jasper for strength
- Carnelian for lower back pain
- Selenite to Cleanse Negative Energy in the Body
- Black tourmaline for regeneration and protection
Smoky quartz
What it looks like: This beautiful variety of mineral quartz gets its color from its proximity to natural sources of radiation, such as radioactive minerals. Coloring can also be produced artificially through the process of irradiation.
What he does : The smoky variety of Quartz is an excellent stone of protection and anchoring. It helps detoxify the body from pollutants and the mind from toxic emotional conditions. This crystal can help prevent back problems and should be used, for example, when you are feeling unwell and worried about relapsing.

When to use it? I keep this crystal in my room. I pick it up every night before I go to sleep and hold it in my right hand for a minute. As I hold my smoky quartz, I imagine a beautiful golden light sweeping up and down my body and clearing away all pain and negativity. This is a good practice for getting ready for sleep, or even first thing in the morning to prepare for the day ahead.
Rose quartz
What it looks like: It may be soft and rosy, but there is great strength to be found in this shimmering heart chakra stone.
What he does : Rose quartz is not typically associated with pain relief, but for me, this crystal has proven essential in my healing journey.
Whenever there is physical pain, especially chronic pain, there is emotional pain. Maybe the emotional pain caused the physical pain or vice versa.
Either way, rose quartz is probably the best crystal for emotional pain, emotional fatigue, and low self-esteem often caused by feelings of physical weakness and a general feeling of helplessness.
Rose quartz helps regain self-love and heal emotional imbalances.

When to use it: If you are in a cycle of negative thoughts following pain and tend to be overly critical of yourself, rose quartz can be a wonderful tool for practicing positive affirmations and getting better.
Red jasper
What it looks like: This beautiful variety of mineral quartz gets its color from its proximity to natural sources of radiation, such as radioactive minerals. Coloring can also be produced artificially through the process of irradiation.
What it does: This area of the body contains the physical and spiritual foundations of our body. It is for this reason that it is considered the most important chakra, as no other chakra can be completely healed without first healing this one. It is this spiritual power center that can be optimized to strengthen your back, while paving the way for higher chakra healing.
This is why red jasper is such an important crystal for people suffering from back pain.

Carnelian
What it looks like: Like a comet crossing the sky, this fireball is all red and orange energy.
What it does: The sacral chakra is associated with the hips, kidneys, pelvis, sexual organs and lower back region. It is located between the pubic bone and the navel and is mainly responsible for confidence, self-esteem, passion, intimacy, creativity and joy.
This chakra is represented by the color orange. Stones like carnelian and orange calcite are good choices for rebalancing and supporting this chakra. So if you specifically suffer from lower back pain, these two crystals can really help you.

When to use it? You should always have these crystals near or on you (as opposed to somewhere in plain sight but further away in the room) as much as possible. Alternate between storing them in your bag or pocket during the day, and keeping them close to you and next to your bed at night.
These are just suggestions, you should always follow your instincts and let the crystals guide you. If in doubt, the color of the crystal can tell you which chakra it affects, for example carnelian - red/orange - sacral chakra.
Selenite
What it looks like: White as snow in its raw form and blessed with the promise of purity.
What it does: A calming and peaceful mineral that can guide you during your spiritual, meditative and healing practice. Selenite gives off a subtle, calming and beautiful aura, while eliminating negative energies in your home and body.

When to use it: The selenite lamp in your bedroom can help set the tone for how you want to feel physically and emotionally. Calm, relaxed, happy and healed. Likewise, keep your bracelet close to you on your nightstand.
Black tourmaline
What it looks like: Black tourmaline comes from the earth and each piece is perfectly unique. However, they all have the black tint of ink. Sometimes when exposed to light, the darkness seems to capture gray veins or appear almost blue and deeply iridescent.
What it does: Tourmalines are very high energy crystals. They emit negatively charged ions. These negative ions work wonders for the body by promoting blood oxygenation and regeneration. They also cancel out toxic positive ions, which can cause headaches, chronic fatigue, anxiety, lack of energy and a general feeling of being "exhausted", due to suppression of the immune system .
Tourmaline will also ground your spiritual energies, creating a protective energetic shield around you and when it comes to protection, black tourmaline is the go-to crystal.
As its black color suggests, this amazing powerhouse absorbs any negative energies that come your way, whether it be psychic attacks, evil spirits, witchcraft, electromagnetic signals, or geopathic smog. This means that, although you may still be aware of incoming negativity, you will not take this impact on the psyche, which frays and exhausts us, leaving you feeling strong enough to continue your chosen path with your energies intact. A very useful companion for those working in high-stress environments!

When to use it? For anyone suffering, tourmaline is a safe way to put in place the boundaries needed to channel pain and ensure that you remain protected and standing in the light of your own power.
Setting the intention and working with your crystals
There are many other crystals that can help you in these difficult times. So we recommend experimenting with those that appeal to you. There is no right or wrong way to use crystals, the most important factor that will determine your success in working with them is believing in their power. This allows your energy to open and connect with the energy field of the crystal, allowing it to work its magic and set the right intention when meditating or working with them in general.
How to define the right intention?
It is very simple !
- Hold the crystal in your hand.
- Breathe deeply, relax your mind and calm your body.
- Ask the crystal out loud to help heal your back pain.
- Be as specific as possible.
- Breathe deeply and feel the energy of the crystal linking with yours.
- Thank the crystal
- Put it back in its place
How can I use these crystals directly on my body?
One of our favorite methods is to lie on your stomach (if possible) and place the stone on your back, directly on the painful area, for 15 minutes, while relaxing and setting the intention to heal . If you have difficulty lying on your stomach, you can find a comfortable position, sitting or standing, and hold the crystal in your hand for 10 to 15 minutes, thinking about how you would feel if you were healed and pain-free.
Conclusion
We sincerely hope that one or more of these crystals will give you the strength you need to heal your sciatica or at least ease the pain and provide you with some welcome relief!
