One of the newest and most amazing spa therapies now being offered at the most progressive medical spas and resorts is the “gem lamp treatment” which uses rubies, sapphires, emeralds, diamonds and other precious stones in a special lamp. The lamp has a removable lens where the therapist places a precious faceted gemstone and the lamp connects to an electronic instrument. The instrument is capable of producing frequencies of 1 to 16 pulses per second, which are then imposed on a copper coil inside the gem lamp.

A patient or client is then bathed in the healing rays of color light that is transmitted through the gemstone and into their body. Then, almost immediately, an amazing transformation takes place. Especially with emerald treatments and blue sapphire treatments, the person receiving the treatment receives an immediate calm. It almost seems as if a “ray of tranquility” has exploded throughout the room.

With the blue sapphire treatment there is an immediate slowdown of the mind and the person feels calm and wants to relax. A feeling of simple “well-being” invades them, the muscles relax and the tensions begin to dissipate. What a wonderful addition to a massage. Quite often, a massage therapist finds that their client is so tense and stressed (which is why they are there for a massage in the first place) that they have to take much longer before they can massage the muscles deeper, as it’s too much. painful. With the blue sapphire treatment 15 minutes before the client relaxes and the worries they had are forgotten, at least for the moment, and that is all it takes for a masseur to get the most out of the session.

Interestingly, blue sapphire treatment is also having success in treating sleep disorders, due to the calming effect. It’s not like a person gets it from their massage and then feels sleepy during the day, but it’s almost like the effect is retraining the mind to relax when it’s time to relax. Many report that they sleep better for many nights after a pre-massage treatment. People suffering from depression have also reported that the treatment gave them a boost and reduced their anxiety and natural health professionals are now using it as an alternative to medication for depression and anxiety disorders.

Estheticians rejoice as they can now give the most rejuvenating facial treatment possible with the “Emerald Facial”. Emeralds have had a reputation from the lore of many cultures as “soothing to the eyes.” They were also said to be rejuvenating, and indeed these appear to be the effects of using these emerald “healing rays” on the skin while undergoing a traditional facial.

According to ancient folklore, emerald treatment soothes tired eyelids and also makes lips look healthier. It is revitalizing for the skin and is now thought to be the best gem for “anti-aging” and for repairing damaged skin, even from the sun. The green color emitted through emerald seems to regenerate healthy skin cells, unclog pores, and brighten the complexion, even out uneven skin tone and discoloration.

Even skin problems such as psoriasis, eczema and acne respond positively to emerald treatment and in some patients a red coral treatment is also used in the gem lamp. Whether to repair, nourish or beautify the skin, emerald gemstone treatment seems to be the wave of the future in spas around the world.

Have you just arrived at the spa after a long plane ride? Treating an emerald in one lamp taken at the same time as it is given a blue sapphire treatment with another lamp (each instrument is capable of having two separate lamps with two completely different gem treatments at the same time) will make your jet lag disappear in 20 minutes.

With so many therapists now beginning to take an interest in this phenomenal natural therapy and using it in conjunction with a myriad of healing modalities, we are sure to see more touted successes in the future. However, one thing we can all agree on is that it is the most wonderful complement to spa therapies in the history of the industry. Next time you go to a spa, ask for it.
