CRYSTAL HEALING AND BRUXISM

Bruxism is a medical term used to describe clenching and grinding of the teeth. It affects both adults and children.

There is no definite answer as to what causes Bruxism there are schools of thought that it could be due to lack of  symmetry of the teeth, while others say it reflects a persons anxiety or perhaps digestive problems or even disturbed sleep or perhaps a disorder of the central nervous system.

It is caused by reflex chewing and this is not a learned habit chewing is a natural activity. When a person is sleeping the reflex part of the brain is active whereas the brain control is inactive this results in a chewing action that is abnormal and is called Bruxism.

Bruxism often happens when sleeping even if the person is taking just a short nap.


The problems Bruxism causes can be jaw pain headaches, teeth that are already suffering from decay (from another source) may collapse, teeth may become sensitive you could find gums receding loose teeth bony ridges cheek irritations and sore cheek and temple muscles, teeth can also become chipped, erosion of the biting surface and cracking of the teeth.

There are a couple of healing crystals that will help with this problem. You should keep them either under your pillow or beside your bed as this is something that occurs while sleeping there is no need to carry the crystal with you all the time although if you wish to you can. Be sure to program the crystals for aiding with the healing of Bruxism prior to use.

Strombolite: Brings love and generosity provides us with grounding aligns the Chakras enhances peace and happiness. It is very good for transferring energy from the healer to the receiver.

This is an issue I suffer with, I suspect, from anxiety issues.  What really helps me is amethyst, which is a gently calming stone for me.  If I'm not wearing it, I keep an amethyst cluster beside my bed, which really does help immensely.  (It also helps me sleep like a baby!)

I have never heard of the other two stones, but I'm definitely going to look into them!  Thank you!
