Mystical understandings of the power of Nature were taught from generation to generation.

Strengthening of the immune system was a major aspect of the teachings.

The gemstone “Turquoise”, for example, (from a Turkish word that translates as “blue stone”), was and still is used by Indigenous People (often known as “Native Americans” whose heritage is far from just North and South America) for its balancing of all of the chakras (“wheels” of energy in the physical vessel), its ability to also heal aches and pains, for its calming vibrations throughout the nervous system, for its protection from harm of the auric fields, and for its tendency to also attract material prosperity.

This stone was also sacred to the ancient Kemetu (people of Kemet [Egypt]), and it is still being sold in prevalence in jewelry shops in what has been called for many decades “The United Arab Republic” but also still known as “Egypt” as well.

It is, of course, sold in many other countries around the world too.

It is a stone known by both of the civilizations mentioned above—Indigenous People and the ancient Kemetu—to be symbolic of the heavenly realm as well as of the earthly waters.

When it is blue, it has more copper, and when it is green (as is primarily used by the people of Tibet), it has more iron.

Both colors have dark veins in them of copper and some iron. It is the stone most often placed in a prayer mala comprised of Boddhi Seed as a “marker bead”.

In a “Medicine Mala” made of either Boddhi Seed or Sandalwood, each of the 108 beads with a 109th “Guru” bead, is encased with Turquoise and Coral chips.

Coral is taught to strengthen the skeletal system and to provide calcium to bones and teeth. It is also often used for material prosperity as well.

Gemstones provide healing by wearing them because they have a vibratory energetic frequency—a type of “life force”—a “consciousness”. We must remember that everything is energy.

Besides various crystals and gemstones, of course, natural healing is achieved via the intake of nutritious foods, and SOURCE has provided an uncountable plethora of valuable fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes, etc. from which we derive vitamins and minerals.

One of the most immune strengthening “potions”, especially in cold weather, is made from grapefruit and lemon and when made correctly, it can produce what nutritional research scientists are calling a type of natural “quinine”.

Here is the recipe:

1.) Obtain three large organic grapefruits and six large organic lemons.

2.) Place the fruit in a large bowl and wash it thoroughly with purified water.

3.) Remove the peeling from each of the pieces of fruit, and cut the peelings into chunks.

4.) Place the chunks in a large pot; cover with spring water; bring the mixture to a boil; then turn down the heat and allow the mixture to simmer for three hours.

5.) After three hours, add a half-teaspoon of ginger; stir; and after the mixture cools, pour it into a large glass container and store it in the refrigerator.

6.) Drink a cup of this cool mixture daily. If desired, it can be warmed.

7.) The liquid from the fruit after the peeling has been removed makes a delicious grapefruit/lemonade in warm weather. Add a bit of organic honey if desired for this drink and chunks of ice. A sprig of peppermint on the side of the glass is a lovely creative touch.

Add a straw and enjoy.
