Why Crystal Water Bottles are all over our socials - 'Crystal Elixir Health Trend'

Does anyone remember when Spencer Pratt, the Hills star, whose obsession with healing crystals went viral, in 2010, he'd had a tough night (poor Spence) and the next morning he desperately held a clear crystal quartz (I believe) against his forehead. The world communally exhaled 'looney tune' during what appeared to be some sort of lapse in sanity. I honestly can't remember what I believed in that moment however, this is now! A time when celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow and Adele openly sing the praises of draping the home and body with minerals. Fruit infused water - so 2018!

Personally I love seeing the influx of Insta influencers sipping on water that has a healing crystal soaking in it, 'a crystal elixir'. Crystal healing veterans have been practicing many different healing rituals in their life for a long time, so this is hardly new for them, use mere mortals are just catching up. What's amazing about these bottles is that the gems are securely placed to the bottom of the bottle, creating a truely beautiful aesthetic if you're not 100% sold on the energetic principles of semi precious gems. ​

Crystal healing can be traced back to some 6,000 years ago to the Sumerians of Mesopotamia. From there it found its way into the cultures of ancient Egypt and religions like Buddhism and Hinduism, where people began placing certain crystals on their bodies for their supposed health benefits. A carnelian crystal (a reddish gem) is said to help female reproduction, while clear quartz (white or ice like gem) is believed by some to increase energy, and rose quartz (pink gem) boosts creativity. 
(To be clear: While certain crystals are believed to promote health, there is zero scientific evidence that has validated this. Crystal elixirs may be good for some people's minds, but they're not a substitute for professional care.)

Potential Crystal Elixir Benefits"Throughout all of recorded history, possibly even longer, crystal elixirs have been used for their unparalleled healing benefits. Healing crystals use their high vibrations to correct energy flow in our chakras (the energy centers in the body). By drinking crystal-infused water, the ions themselves within the water become positively charged with the healing energy of the stone. The water then goes straight into your cells, healing your physical body and realigning your aura. This is the fastest and most effective way to receive the healing benefits of crystals."

Personally - I love crystal healing and the perceived or proven benefits you gain. Just make sure that you cleanse your crystals regularly.
