February is here, and this month we’re spotlighting Amethyst, the stunning purple gemstone that is one of the world’s most famous crystals. As February’s birthstone and one of the most popular healing crystals, Amethyst is known for its spiritual properties, but there’s so much more to this incredible stone. We’re uncovering some of the lesser-known facts and powerful healing properties of Amethyst, plus how you can incorporate it into your life this month.
1. Amethyst for Sleep and Relaxation
Amethyst is known as the stone of tranquility, due to its abilities to promote better sleep and relaxation. Placing an Amethyst crystal under your pillow or by your bedside can help ease insomnia, reduce overthinking, and promote restful sleep.
2. Amethyst as a Detox Stone
Amethyst isn’t just about emotional healing, it’s also a detoxification crystal. Its name comes from the Greek word amethystos, meaning ‘not drunk’, as it was historically believed to prevent intoxication. Today, Amethyst is still recognised in holistic healing for its ability to support physical detox, remove negative energy, and cleanse your mind and body.
3. Stress Relief and Emotional Balance
One of the most widely known benefits of Amethyst is its ability to relieve stress and anxiety. Whether you carry an Amethyst tumbled stone in your pocket, wear an Amethyst bracelet, or use it in meditation, its energy works to calm the mind, balance emotions, and protect against negative influences.
4. Enhancing Intuition and Creativity
Amethyst is deeply connected to the third eye chakra and crown chakra, making it one of the best crystals for enhancing intuition and unlocking creativity. Whether you’re journaling, meditating, or brainstorming new ideas, holding an Amethyst or placing it on your forehead can bring fresh inspiration and open you up to deeper insights.
