As a longtime sufferer of migraines, I have always found that keeping away from certain foods eased up on my misery. Chocolate, onions, yogurt, processed meats, certain nuts, hard cheeses, red wine.....on my list of "stay away" foods.
I'd never really thought about using crystals and gemstones as a form of relief. That is until a customer requested a bracelet addressing relief from her frequent headaches. So I put hands to the keyboard and did my research.
Lepidolite made my list for great crystals for Migraine and Headache relief because of its ability to calm the nervous system and ease emotional stress. It is often associated with relaxation, emotional balance, and reducing anxious or racing thoughts. Lepidolite is also commonly used for supporting the body during times of tension, overwhelm, and headache related stress.
The main reason I chose Lepidolite is for its calming influence on the mind and nervous system. Stress and emotional overload are common migraine triggers. Lepidolite is believed to help quiet mental pressure and encourage a sense of calm balance when the mind feels overstimulated.
Aquamarine made my list because of its cooling and soothing energy. This crystal is traditionally associated with calming emotional turbulence, reducing stress, and encouraging a peaceful, relaxed state of mind. Aquamarine is also believed to support clarity and help ease tension in the body.
The main reason I chose Aquamarine is for its calming effect on the nervous system and its connection to the Throat Chakra. When emotional stress or tension builds in the body, it can contribute to headaches and migraines. Aquamarine encourages relaxation, helping the body release pressure and restore a sense of balance.
Hematite made my list because of its strong grounding and stabilizing energy. This crystal is often used to absorb negative energy and help bring the body back into a balanced state. Hematite is also associated with improving focus, circulation, and overall energetic stability.
The main reason I chose Hematite is for its powerful grounding properties connected to the Root Chakra. When energy becomes scattered or the body feels overwhelmed, headaches and tension can follow. Hematite helps anchor energy, encouraging a sense of physical balance and stability throughout the body.
Larvikite made my list because of its ability to support mental clarity and filter out overwhelming energy. It is often associated with clearing mental fog, strengthening focus, and helping the mind release unnecessary stress or distraction.
The main reason I chose Larvikite is for its connection to the Third Eye Chakra and its ability to support mental reset. When the mind becomes overloaded with stimulation, stress, or excessive thinking, headaches and migraines can develop. Larvikite encourages mental clarity and helps calm an overactive mind.
Crystal Quartz is a stone of clarity. With clarity comes understanding, the ability to let go and a peaceful, less stressed mind.
Crystal Quartz opens all of our chakras, but especially the Crown chakra, the epicenter of headaches.
Selenite is a master at unclogging any stagnant energies, and typically headaches are all about blocked energies. With those blocked energies go negative energies too, and Selenite helps send them on their way. (Good Riddance!) It's also great for relieving pain.
Here too, the Crown Chakra is opened and aired out.
Thought not on everyone's top 10 list of crystals for headache, and migraine relief, I think Turquoise is a must have. Turquoise helps in expressing emotions, thoughts and feelings that we often "stuff down". Stuffing anything internally simply adds to tension in the body and stress. Turquoise is a GREAT mind clearer as well as a pain reliever. It's also used for improving blood circulation, another great benefit for headache relief.
Turquoise opens and balances the Throat and Heart Chakras, making for better ability to communicate with compassion for yourself as well as those around you.
Chrysocolla is all about emotions here. What woman hadn’t had mood swings depending on the time of the month too? This crystal helps in balancing hormone levels. Another way Chrysocolla settles emotions is in easing anxiety, worries and stress with it's calming energies.
Chrysocolla opens Heart Chakra bringing in nurturing and feminine energies. Energies that help you slow down and soften tension.
Lapis made my list because of it's ability to release and repel negative energy. It's also perfect for raising spiritual awareness, bringing along with it, inner peace. Lapis is also used as a pain reliever.
The main reason I chose Lapis is for it's Third Eye Chakra Energy. An over active or blocked Third Eye can increase headache occurrences. Lapis brings balance to the Third Eye Chakra.
Amethyst is a rock star at calming and refreshing your aura and shifting energy. Perfect for night time headaches because it allows you to sleep better. Amethyst promotes serenity, balance and peace, soothing the mind and reducing stress levels.
Just as with Crystal Quartz and Selenite do, Amethyst opens up the Crown Chakra, an important factor in ease the pressure and tension in your head.
