The Healing Crystals for Stomach Problems
You know that queasy, drained feeling when your tummy’s out of whack? It’s more than just a belly ache. It messes with sleep, energy, even your mood - makes the smallest tasks feel heavy. Medical care is the obvious first step, but some folks turn to crystals as a gentle extra layer of support when digestion feels off.
Below are some stones that people often use for digestion and gut balance. These are all available (or soon to be) through Gandhara Gems and are thought to bring soothing, stabilizing energy.
Citrine – The Digestive Booster
Warm. Bright. Citrine is often called the digestion stone for good reason. Folks use it to ease indigestion, reduce bloating, speed sluggish digestion, or even boost appetite. It’s tied to the solar‑plexus chakra - so it’s all about energizing that gut and metabolism. Keep one near your belly, or wear it as jewelry when your digestion needs a lift.
Moonstone – Gentle Relief for Cramps and Reflux
Soft shimmer, soft energy. Moonstone is known for helping with acid reflux, cramps, or bloating that’s tied to hormonal swings or stress. Especially helpful for PMS or mid‑cycle discomfort. Wear it or rest it on your stomach when lying down, and let its calm presence take over.
Amethyst – Calms That Nervous Belly
Sometimes, digestion isn’t about the food - it’s about stress, anxiety, the heart-racing kind of gut pain. Amethyst helps calm the overactive nervous system and ease tension. Meditating with it or even just holding it can send a subtle “relax” message to your gut.
Aquamarine – Cool Comfort for Inflammation
This pale blue gem carries a cooling vibe. People use Aquamarine for gut inflammation, ulcers, or reflux that feels sharp and hot. Hold it near your solar plexus while lying still or carry it with you - especially on days when internal heat feels like a problem.
Peridot – Liver & Gallbladder Support
Digestion isn’t just about the stomach. If fatty foods give you trouble, or bile flow feels sluggish, Peridot may help. It’s also tied to emotional release - anger, frustration, those feelings that hang out in your gut. It cleanses, refreshes, restores.
Tourmaline – Grounding for an Uneasy Gut
Black Tourmaline is great when your digestion feels erratic - like IBS or gut tension. Sharp moods, scattered energy, internal turbulence. This stone helps you feel anchored and safe, especially when stress feels like it’s attacking your insides.
Garnet – Circulation & Core Strength
Not usually the first pick for digestion, but still helpful. Garnet brings warmth and encourages blood flow, which supports gut muscles and overall vitality. When digestion leaves you wiped out, this little red stone can offer warmth and reassurance.
Simple Ways to Use These Stones
You don’t need fancy rituals:
• Put a stone on your belly while you lie down and breathe
• Wear it as a pendant or waist bead
• Tuck one in your pocket or bag, especially around meals
• Hold during meditation or quiet reflection
Keep them clean: rinse in water if safe, leave in sunlight for a few hours, or smudge with sage.

One Final Reminder
Crystals are tools, not treatments. If stomach issues are severe, chronic, or painful, please consult a healthcare professional. Digestive problems can stem from diet, stress, or something more serious. Crystals can add emotional and energetic support, but they don’t replace medical advice.
Used thoughtfully, with rest, good food, hydration, and professional care, they can make your journey a little gentler.
