People have been using crystals for wellness purposes for centuries. Their use dates back to the ancient Sumerians of Mesopotamia, as well as ancient Greece and Egypt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But they have recently seen a resurgence in popularity and have made their way into the spa scene, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not uncommon to see people carrying crystals in their pockets and purses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some crystal lovers say the stones have specific energetic and vibrational healing properties. Different stones can serve different purposes, they believe. Some believe crystals can help shift energy<\/a> or focus energy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others use crystals for more intangible purposes\u2014such as a touchstone to help remind them to breathe, center, feel grounded or whatever they want to feel at that time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For these people, crystals make intangible concepts tangible for us humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As more people believe in (or remember) the power and importance of crystals, spas are weaving the use of crystals into their menus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crystals are a way to elevate a treatment to a new level. You can add them to a massage or facial\u2014adding in another layer of experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Incorporating crystals instantly makes the treatment personalized. Spas do this by using products infused with crystals or using crystal rollers. Jade rollers are popular to use during a facial. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another way to bring crystals into treatment is for the client to hold onto crystals or place certain crystals on parts of their body.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even just decorating the treatment room with crystals or intentionally placing them underneath the massage table or in specific areas of the room can have an impact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, selenite is said to clear and cleanse, which makes it an ideal stone to bring into a treatment room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
