Physical Healing Properties

Moonstone is fantastic stone for reproductive health and wellbeing. It is highly recommended for women who hope to get pregnant, are currently pregnant, are heading into labour & delivery and for post-partum as well. Moonstone connects women with Mother Goddess energy to create and nurture new life. It also connects women with all the mothers that came before them, and will come after, tapping into a sisterhood of support, and understanding. Moonstone does not idealize pregnancy or motherhood, but neither does it exaggerate the problems. Instead, it helps women take a sensible approach and feel supported for the real pain and pleasure of this journey, both its ordinary and extraordinary moments. Moonstone is also great talisman for women struggling with issues related to hormones and the pineal gland, menstruation, menopause or endometriosis. It helps us to assess what is normal and tolerable in hormonal fluctuations vs what is concerning and requires additional healthcare support. It firmly encourages us to be our own healthcare advocate and to not allow other people, including healthcare professionals, downplay our physical symptoms.
