Citrine Properties
Citrine is a powerful cleanser and regenerator. Carrying the power of the sun, this is an extremely beneficial stone. It is warming and energising, and highly creative. This is one of the crystals that never needs cleansing. It absorbs, transmutes, dissipates and grounds negative energy and is therefore extremely protective for the environment.
The name comes from the French word citron, meaning lemon. It was used as a gem in Greece as far back as 300 B.C.
Citrine is one of the stones of abundance. This dynamic stone teaches how to manifest and attracts wealth and prosperity, success and all good things. Citrine is a happy generous stone and encourages sharing what you have and yet helps you hold on to your wealth.
Healing
Natural Citrine enhances physical stamina and energy, supports the endocrine system, and encourages proper metabolism. [Ahsian, 120][Megemont, 59-60] It is beneficial for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and may aid in reversing degenerative disease. It is thought to balance the thyroid and facilitate the diminishment of growths. [Hall, 119][Melody, 211]
Citrine stimulates digestion, the spleen and pancreas. It helps keep skin, nails, and hair healthy and is good for relieving skin irritations and allergies, especially those caused by food or chemical intolerances.
Natural Citrine is beneficial in eliminating infections of the kidney and bladder, and in the treatment of bedwetting, particularly in young adults. As an elixir, Citrine relieves menstrual and menopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes, hormone imbalance and the alleviation of fatigue. It may also be used for nausea and vomiting, and morning sickness.
Citrine activates nerve impulses, strengthening intelligence and the intellectual faculties of concentration and wisdom. It also aids in short-term memory loss.
