ADDICTION

While many deem addiction the domain of substances and spirits, it can be any obstinate obsession that doesn't benefit you, like grub that's not nutritious or a relationship that's not sound. These remedies will help build up your mental strength and sever your attachment as you work to set yourself apart from whatever vice you're addicted to.

HEMATITE - When it comes to addictions that can be traced back to the root chakra, a crystal that can help balance it is the way to go. Since the issue's too-much-energy related, absorb-y stones are ideal--& hematite totally fits the bill. This stability-bringer absorbs negative vibes & counsels the mind when things are rough. It’s a pro-protector & an awesome way to stay firmly rooted in whatever situation. But perhaps the biggest perk? It can transform no-good vibes into positive ones--perfect for meditating, working, & more everyday happenings.

AMETHYST - Commonly referred to as the 'sobriety stone', this beauty was once thought to be a safeguard against dips into drunkenness. Providing balance to the wearer, amethyst is great for soothing stress, quelling irritability, and regulating your mood swings. Ready to help you confront difficult scenarios with grace and composure, amethyst sets the mind at ease. If addiction to substances (including caffeine or nicotine) is a problem, wear a piece of this crystal and find peace.
