Amethyst is a natural emitter of far infrared rays (FIR). Some, but not all, of the benefits of these rays being applied to the human body are:

1. Cell-Growth Promotion
   Far Infrared radiation will foster cell growth and celll-regeneration. Scientific studies have shown that by increasing the infrared radiation level in your body, you will have more energy to grow cells in your body. The benefit of far infrared radiation is that its wavelengths are very long, so they don't have enough energy to kill cells (like X-rays), but just enough to provide them with healing heat..
2. Sleeping Aid
   We also know that far infrared therapy has what scientists call a sleep modulator effect. The heat emitted by amethyst crystals can help you sleep.
3. Blood-Circulation Enhancement
   Far infrared radiation has been proven to improve blood-circulation, particularly what is called 'microcirculation' among the capillaries in your skin. Far infrared radiation is more ably suited than mere 'conductive' heat in promoting increased blood circulation.
4. Better Circulation of Bodily Fluids
   Blood is not the only bodily fluid whose circulation ability is increased by far infrared radiation. Far infrared therapy increases the flexibility of your blood vessels generally speaking, and as a result, everything in the body reaches its destination more quickly. It also helps to quicken your overall fluid transportation.
5. Increased Anti-Oxidant Activity
   Antioxidants help us fight the aging process as well as infection. Far infrared radiation produces antioxidants.
6. Faster Healing
   Because far infrared radiation increases the body's blood circulation, it can help wounds to heal by bringing cells the nutrients they need to repair themselves faster. Far infrared radiation helps to repair tissue that is damaged as a result of diabetes mellitus, reconstructive surgeries or other chronic and athletic damage.
7. Fighting Bacteria
   Far infrared radiation helps to inhibit bacterial growth by inhibiting the enzymes that lead to their growth. Scientists have found that it is far-infrared radiation specifically inhibits the growth of some bacteria in the body.

Amethyst Produces Negative Ions

Negative ion emission can draw waste and 'free radicals' out of your body. Amethyst crystals emit negative ions and can bring about the benefits of negative ion therapy. Removing Toxins: Negative ions will attract many toxic particles. Studies have shown that it doesn't matter the size of the particles negative ions may assist in pulling them out of your body. Negative ions will also improve brain function and focus.
