About the Author

Michael Gienger (1964-2014) was one of Europe’s most respected experts on crystals and their uses, a field in which he had been active since 1988. He started collecting minerals in 1972, and in 1985 a successful self-treatment with healing crystals inspired him to pursue further training as an alternative healing practitioner. He was trained in shiatsu and completed a two-year apprentice in shamanic healing. He went on to author more than 20 publications, a number of which have become standard works in their field and have been translated into 11 languages.

"The Twelve Essential Healing Crystals book is a potent little first aid manual. It offers concise, compact, and comprehensive advice on using twelve essential gemstones for common ailments. The key is to have a small selection of gemstones that can produce reliable results without having to invest in a deluge of every kind of stone. Each chapter hones in on a stones specific therapy values and a variety of ailments and circumstances they can be applied to. For instance, amethyst is beneficial for tension headaches or eye strain. It’s suggested that you glide a piece of amethyst over the head and down the neck with calm brushing movements. You work on the whole head, repeating this step three to four times. It worked quite well on a family member. It has vivid colorful images and easy to follow instructions. I was so surprised at all the uses each stone has. This book is a must have."
