Therapeutic Dictionary of Minerals and Crystals: The absolute encyclopedia for understanding the use of stones through the ages and civilizations.

There are works that mark the history of a discipline by their depth and rigor. The Therapeutic Dictionary of Minerals and Crystals by Louis Adamant is one of them. A true compendium of knowledge, this book aims to gather all the knowledge related to lithotherapy by drawing from the most diverse sources: from Greco-Latin and medieval texts to traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, without forgetting the contributions of anthroposophic medicine and modern scientific data. It is a cultural and spiritual journey that demonstrates that the use of minerals has a legitimate and ancestral place in alternative therapies.

More than a simple directory, the Therapeutic Dictionary of Minerals and Crystals offers new and original insights, particularly thanks to its documented research on stones from Provence. The author meticulously addresses the various practices of lithotherapy: from direct skin contact to elixirs, including homeopathy and the fundamental question of chakras and associated colors. The work also stands out with a section dedicated to oligotherapy and concludes with an extremely valuable therapeutic index, making this book an indispensable reference tool for individuals as well as health professionals wishing to embrace the entire mineral field.
