Metals[7]

In addition to the use of medicinal plants, Ayurveda uses the healing properties of metals, jewelry and stones. Ayurvedic teachings say that everything that exists in nature is endowed with the energy of the Universal Consciousness.
All forms of matter are simply the outer manifestation of this energy. prana, life force, flows from the Universal energy, which is the essence of all matter. In this way, металлы, камни и драгоценности являются внешним проявлением определенных форм энергии. These materials are reservoirs of pranic energy and this energy can be drawn for healing purposes. The ancient rishis of India discovered these energy actions through meditation.
Adverse influences on the normal functioning of the body, mind and consciousness can be neutralized by the use of jewels and metals. When applied to the skin, they emit electromagnetic waves that act on body cells and deep tissues. For example, при ношении ручного браслета из серебра и свинца можно избежать грозящих нарушений печени.
The physical health of the body, its spiritual and mental level depend on the cosmic influence. Just as a house is protected from lightning strikes with a copper rod, so the body can be protected from the electrical and magnetic radiation of the atmosphere through the use of jewelry and metals. Pure metals radiate astral light, which provides a powerful counteract to the negative influence of the planets.
All metals contain tremendous healing energy. Heavy metals such as mercury, gold, silver, copper, iron, lead and tin are used for treatment. However, even pure metals can contain some contaminants that are toxic to vital organs such as the liver, spleen, and heart. That's why аюрведическое учение предписывает особые методы очищения металлов. The metal is heated and worked with butter, cow urine, milk, ghee, fresh milk butter or sour grain gruel. These ancient methods perform a more subtle cleansing than simple chemical cleansing, allowing human tissues to experience the effects of pure metals, without any toxic effects. The beneficial effects of certain metals are described below.
COPPER. Alleviates excess kapha and fat. A good tonic for the liver, spleen and lymphatic system. Especially useful for people who tend to gain weight, retain water, or have lymphatic buildup. Copper also helps in the treatment of anemia. For the treatment of obesity and liver, as well as diseases of the spleen, drink two teaspoons of copper water three times a day for a month. To prepare this water, ten pennies in lime water, then put them in a quart of water and boil until half the volume of water boils away. Wearing a copper bracelet around your wrist also helps.
GOLD. Gold is effective in toning the nerves. It improves memory and intelligence, strengthens the heart muscle and increases endurance. Gold is good for hysteria, epilepsy, heart attacks, weakness in the lungs and liver. Refined gold turns into ash, burning in a fire. The energy of gold can be revealed by drinking golden healing water. To prepare this water, place a piece of gold jewelry (without any stones) in a volume of two glasses of water and boil until half of the volume boils away. The electron energy of the gold will enter the water during this process. One teaspoon of this water can be taken three times a day. Golden water will energize the heart, causing a weak pulse to become steady, healthy. Gold also improves memory, intelligence and understanding, stimulates the awakening of consciousness.
Gold has a warming property and should therefore be used with caution in Pitta constitutions. Some people cannot tolerate gold and may develop a rash when gold is applied.
IRON. Beneficial for bone marrow, bone tissue, red blood cells, liver and spleen. It increases the formation of red blood cells and therefore its ashes are used in the treatment of anemia. It is effective for enlargement of the liver or spleen. Iron strengthens muscles and nerve tissues, has restorative properties.
LEAD. Very effective remedy for skin diseases. It is also used to treat leucorrhea, vaginal disorders, tumors, gonorrhea and syphilis.
MERCURY. Очень heavy и сильнодействующий металл. It helps to stimulate the enzyme system, change and restore tissues. Mercury is considered the seed of the god Shiva in Indian mythology. Stimulates the intellect and awakens the consciousness. It should never be used alone, but always with sulphur. The energy of some herbs is increased thousands of times when taken with mercury and sulfur. These two substances transfer the action of herbs to the subtle channels and tissues of the body.
SILVER. Another very important healing metal. It has a cooling effect and is beneficial in treating pitta excesses. Helps strength and endurance. Used to treat vata diseases. However, for people of kapha constitution, it should be used with caution. Silver helps with exhaustion, chronic fever, weakness after fever, heartburn, inflammation of the intestines, overactive gallbladder and heavy menstrual bleeding. Серебро очень помогает при воспалительных сердечных болезнях, при violationsх печени и селезенки. Silver water is prepared in the same way as golden water. Питье warmго молока, согретого в серебряной посуде, увеличивает силу и выдержку.
TIN. Rejuvenating element. Refined tin ash is used in the treatment of diabetes, gonorrhea, syphilis, asthma, respiratory infections, anemia, skin diseases, lung diseases, and lymphatic blockages.

Jewels, stones and color therapy

Just like metals, jewels, stones and colors contain energy vibrations of healing properties. The healing energy of jewels and stones can be activated by wearing them in the form of jewelry - bracelets and rings, or by placing precious stones in water at night and drinking this water the next day. Jewels can be cleaned by placing them in salt water for two days. With their positive and negative vibrations, jewels radiate and at the same time repel energy.
