Start the QuizHow do you know sodalite helps?On account of their curiosity, Chinese medicine practitioners have conducted research on sodalite and other stones for thousands of years. As a result, they identified that sodalite has several effects that regulate fluid levels.Firstly, healing properties of sodalite balance the endocrine system.For example, one critical function of the endocrine system, or hormone system, is to keep the body at the right temperature. If the body gets too hot, then you might suffer from constipation, dry throat, muscle tension, renal hypertension (hypertension of the arteries to the kidneys), and diabetes.Imagine the desert. Hot dry conditions make it impossible for many plants to flourish. The same is true in your body. If your body is too dry, things don’t function properly.As you know, drinking water helps maintain fluid levels. However, proper endocrine function also plays a critical role.Sodalite supports the endocrine system, so your body has an ideal internal temperature. Having the right level of cooling will prevent fluid-related illness and disease.Secondly, sodalite properties help clear phlegm, growths, and tumors as a result of the stone’s effect on fluids.To illustrate, have you ever felt like you have something to cough out, but you can’t? You feel like something sticks in your throat or lungs.Sodalite softens hardness in the body that leads to this feeling. As a result, fluids can move to clear blockages.Therefore, sodalite properties relieve swollen glands, break down tumors, and activate a sluggish lymphatic system.Furthermore, phlegm sometimes has a more subtle effect than a hard mass.Sometimes you simply complain that your mind seems foggy, your thoughts fuzzy and unclear. These symptoms result from phlegm misting the mind.You can use sodalite to treat diseases and conditions related to phlegm misting the mind, including:Alzheimer’s diseaseDementiaFeeblemindednessForgetfulnessMental distractionAttention deficit disorderGuilt over past eventsBesides these benefits, healing properties of sodalite balance the body’s internal heat and help qi descend. What do "internal heat" and "qi descending" mean?To illustrate, think about a pot of oatmeal cooking on the stove. You want the oatmeal to simmer at just the right temperature to cook properly. You don’t want it so hot that it boils over and makes a mess.Firstly, sodalite keeps the burner at just the right heat. As a result, the oatmeal stays “down” inside the pot. Consistently, by clearing internal heat and allowing qi to descend, healing properties of sodalite can help prevent:High blood pressureHeadachesHigh feversDermatological outbreaks from stress (as opposed to an allergic outbreak)InsomniaAngerRunning Piglet Qi (when qi is out of control, as with panic attacks)Hyperthyroidism due to stomach fire (stomach microbiome that is to acidic and hot)Plum pit throat, the sensation of something stuck in the throat, the inability to speak what needs to be saidIn a similar fashion, sodalite healing includes balancing your emotions.Just as phlegm can cause fluids to get stuck and turn hard, it can create barriers to emotional well-being.Gradually, using sodalite clears emotional stagnation. When your clear blockages, you can: Recover from loss of willLive a fulfilling lifeLet go of attachment, for example loss of a loved oneFeel comfortable and at peace by letting go of the need to accumulateExpress emotions or sense of selfAccomplish your goalsImprove your ability to communicate with others and enjoy social rapport Need helpremembering the benefits of your gemstones and how to clean them?Sign up to receive our handy guide for eight popular healing gemstones/crystals.
