2016
Books, Manuscripts
This comprehensive guide and extensive materia medica presents the stone medicine teachings of Dr Jeffrey C. Yuen, an 88th generation Taoist priest from the ancient lineage of the Jade Purity School, which dates to the Han dynasty, 206 BCE. Detailing the therapeutic properties of 200 gems, stones, minerals and crystals, it explains the physical, emotional and spiritual conditions each stone can treat and how their colour, form, hardness and energetic qualities affect us, according to Chinese medicine. It examines the chemistry and sacred geometry of crystal structures, revealing how the minerals contained in the stones affect our physiology by supporting our Jing (essence); by nourishing Qi (energy), blood and fluids; and by clearing conditions that can lead to disease.
