Prized as a precious gemstone by many, the ruby also helps
heal and open the heart.
Rubies and the red rays they carry are believed to restore
emotional fluidity by relaxing undesirable patterns and relieving emotional
congestion.
The ruby is also associated with the sun, and has
long been believed to preserve mental and physical health. In the middle ages,
rubies were viewed as a stone of prophecy. Some believed that the ruby would
darken when danger was near.
A thirteenth century prescription to calm liver
problems called for powdered ruby. In the 15th-16th Centuries, rubies were
thought to counteract poison. When rubbed on the skin, they were also thought
to restore youth and vitality.
For thousands of years, Ruby was considered the stone
of love, energy, passion, power, and a zest for life. Like no other gemstone in
the world, the ruby is the symbol for powerful feelings. Another important
element of the ruby in addition to fire is blood, with the ruby said to restore
vital life forces and increase energy and vigor. The ruby is also known as the
stone of courage, and legend holds that a person possessing a ruby can walk
through life without fear of evil or misfortune. Ruby bracelets, anklets, necklaces and pendants are all beautiful representations of the ruby's beauty, strength and healing properties.
Rubies are thought to energize and balance and stimulate
the heart chakra. They can also overcome exhaustion and ease hyperactivity. Rubies
detoxify the body and blood, and treat fevers, diseases, and poor circulation.
They are good for the heart and circulatory system and stimulate the adrenals,
kidneys, reproductive organs and spleen.
