What is lithotherapy?

The word "lithotherapy" comes from the Greek "lithos" (the stone) and "therapeia" (healing) and therefore literally means "healing by stones". It is an alternative, alternative and unconventional medicine that aims to use the energies contained in stones and minerals to improve our daily well-being.

Thousands of years ago, in ancient Egypt, in Indian Ayurvedic texts, or in the first treatises of traditional Chinese medicine, crystals and minerals were attributed therapeutic properties. The Celts, Aztecs, Mayans and many other Asian and Amerindian peoples studied the mineral sciences, always with the same goal: to improve our existence physically, mentally and spiritually.

Some enthusiastic practitioners of lithotherapy consume stones and minerals in the form of powder or elixir. But at Coco Papaya, it's the jewellery that fascinates us! We will therefore regularly offer you articles to help you choose your lithotherapy jewellery according to the benefits you are looking for, and will tell you about the properties attributed to the different crystals and minerals that we offer in the shop.
