Amethyst is what I call a good ‘all-rounder’ as it helps at all levels of our being. It is a good pain reliever, especially for headaches and is good for the immune system. Emotionally it can help with sadness, grief and coming to terms with loss. It is known to help combat bad habits and release one from addictions. It is an excellent stone for meditation as it helps to calm the mind and raises spiritual awareness by facilitating a conscious connection with spirit. Amethyst can help with transformation and support in times of great change.
