12 Best Crystals for Arthritis: Reduce Pain & Inflammation Naturally

INSIDE: With the powerful healing energy provided by crystals for arthritis, you can experience some pain relief. Read on to learn what these healing stones can do for you!

 

We typically think of arthritis as something our grandparents complain about – creaky, stiff joints and limited mobility. But that’s far from the story of arthritis.

Arthritis refers to hundreds of different musculoskeletal ailments that can affect people of all ages. It presents as inflammation, pain, and stiffness in our joints where the cartilage at the end of bones has begun to wear.

The forms of arthritis we hear about the most are osteoarthritis (which often comes with age or injury) and rheumatoid arthritis (a chronic disease with an early age onset). 

By 2040, the number of U.S. adults with doctor-diagnosed arthritis conditions is predicted to increase by 50 percent from its current number, which will be an estimated 78.4 million adults or a quarter of the U.S. adult population. And that’s just doctor-diagnosed cases and adults.

That’s the thing. Arthritic conditions often go undiagnosed. We dismiss our achy knees and sore back as overworked or a result of stress.

Our mental, emotional, and physical health greatly impact our likelihood of developing arthritis. Part of it is genetics, too. However, we can take care of our body, mind, and soul to balance our reactions to arthritic pain and find relief from physical discomfort.

By incorporating crystals for arthritis into your pain management plan, you can experience the relief you need to live a happier life.

Best 12 Crystals for Arthritis

One of the most important actions to take for arthritis pain relief is to find mental stability and emotional peace. By boosting your mood and outlook, crystals for arthritis can help you find relief from the physical pain.

With clear, tranquil thoughts, you can gain the energy for physical rehabilitation and therapy. Check out these 12 crystals to include in daily treatments for arthritis...

Fluorite 

To hear from a doctor that you have arthritis can bring mixed feelings and emotions. On the one hand, it's somewhat of a relief to know where your pain is coming from. On the other hand, there's the fear that comes along with it. 

That’s why Fluorite is an excellent crystal to start with when treating your arthritis. Fluorite invites positivity, calm, and focus to your mind. It helps center your attention on healthy thoughts to overpower feelings of physical pain. 

The multicolored calcium fluoride in Fluorite targets various chakras and attracts strength to your bones. 

Its ability to promote positive emotions and concentration will help you obtain useful information about what can best relieve your joints and facilitate your well-being. 

Blue Apatite

Blue Apatite

Blue Apatite ought to be a crystal for arthritis since it has the same mineral properties found in bones, teeth, and antlers!

These properties mean that Blue Apatite can help fortify your bones and promote cellular regeneration, a process embedded deep in our bone marrow.

This crystal soothes and calms. By promoting tranquility and rest, it releases the stress on the joint areas.

Hematite

Known as a grounding, rooting stone, Hematite draws protective energy within the aura to ward off negative emotions.

Associated with the root chakra, Hematite can realign our thoughts from feelings of defeat and pain from arthritis to thoughts of progress and healing.

Hematite means “bloodstone” and contains a high iron content, an important mineral to our blood supply, which stems from bone marrow. With Hematite, you can experience better circulation and range of motion in your joints.

Carnelian

carnlian

Carnelian is a translucent orange-red crystal that attracts vitality and warmth. As it is in tune with the sacral chakra, applying its warmth to arthritic joints boosts circulation as well as happy emotions that then flow through the body.

Carnelian works to motivate us to release stress and trauma that may have caused our current pain, manifested through arthritis.

The symbolic heat of this crystal for arthritis fuels the body to remain active and flexible. This is important to maintain and increase physical strength and mobility.

Rose Quartz

Chronic pain caused by arthritis can make a person feel isolated and alone. No one can take away the physical hurt, and it's hard to express in words the constant aching. 

Rose Quartz, however, can bring all-around healing to the body and mind. Because of its link with the heart chakra, Rose Quartz helps us lovingly connect and accept our bodies with flaws and strengths.

This crystal can also invite harmony and love from others to embrace us through pain. Love and support will amplify the gratitude and joy you feel, which can diminish any negative emotions and distract you from physical discomfort.

Bloodstone

Bloodstone

Not to be confused with Hematite (which is often called "The Bloodstone"), this green and brown toned crystal is a powerful cleanser for the blood.

Bloodstone had an ancient use in Mesopotamia. Dipped in cold water, it was placed on the body to promote circulation to a wound or injury for healing. It can work well in place of an ice pack to reduce inflammation on sore arthritic joints.

This crystal’s circulating energy stimulates the body and mind to stay in motion and to constantly cycle positive thoughts between our spiritual and physical worlds.

Amethyst

Another iron-rich crystal for arthritis is Amethyst. It is known as a detoxifying stone that helps rid us of negative energy and habits.

Aligned with the crown chakra and the third eye chakra, Amethyst helps us to hone intuitive powers so that we can understand the holistic healing we need against arthritis. 

Amethyst allows us to make better decisions for our health and to approach our bodies with serenity and calm.

Chrysocolla

Chrysocolla

Chrysocolla contains copper, a mineral vital to our health which has been found to have naturally purifying properties. This crystal helps to invigorate our blood flow and energize our thinking.

While Chrysocolla urges flow, it does so with steady, balanced force. Its blue color corresponds to the throat chakra. With Chrysocolla, you can find the calm energy to articulate your needs and express the sensations you experience with arthritis. 

Opening communication encourages healing as you are able to ask for and receive the care that you need.

Citrine

The diagnosis of arthritis might make someone feel frail and weak, but that isn’t reality. Citrine is a crystal that sheds light on your inner strength and ability to overcome.

It soothes a pained, hurting mind and boosts inner confidence and vision to envision a healthy path forward.

With a sunlike brightness, Citrine brightens the solar plexus chakra. Finding balance here will help you see new possibilities in your life in the face the stress and pain that comes with arthritis.

Garnet

Garnet

Garnet, also called the stone of health, works wonders on joint pain. It attracts vitamins and minerals needed to fortify bones.

Spiritually, Garnet brings hope by balancing our emotions and amplifying the emotions that can best serve us in healing.

This crystal for arthritis beautifully illuminates our actions and thoughts that do not serve us. It helps inspire us to take actions that feed our positivity and well-being. 

Green Quartz 

This healing stone promotes compassion and love in the aura. Green Quartz will help you find acceptance so you can move to healing.

It works on our emotional and physical health to make it whole and complete. It is a great crystal for the endocrine system to detoxify and circulate good energy throughout the body.

Green Quartz has a transformative power that takes negativity and turns it into positivity, allowing it to conduct a soothing energy that calms arthritic issues.

Black Onyx

Black Onyx

Wrapping up this list, Black Onyx reinforces your personal power and strength to overcome arthritis pain. It gives stability and stress relief so that you can keep your mind calm and focused on feeling better.

Black Onyx works well on anxiety and depression and gets rid of these energies from our lives.

With more room for positive, clear thinking, you can find the balance you need between rest and activity to keep your joints mobile and pain-free.

How to Use These Arthritis Crystals

In order to find relief from arthritis with these crystals, you need to incorporate them into your daily lifestyle.

Try these three methods for using crystals for arthritis...

Maintain a Physical Connection to Crystals

You can wear crystal jewelry to maintain the healing energy of crystals within your aura. There are many styles of rings, bracelets, pendants, necklaces, and more to unconsciously reap the benefits of crystal vibrations.

If you don’t typically wear jewelry, placing a small tumbled stone in your pocket will maintain the energetic field against your body. When you remember it during the day, you can place it in your hands and harness mental thoughts of healing.

Regularly Practice Chakra-Balancing Meditation

A strong core and spine go a long way to keep us active and pain-free. Our chakra system runs along the vertical pole from the crown of the head to our pelvic root. Doing a balancing meditation once a week can help you tune in to your pain management.

While arthritic pain may reside in many parts of your body, using crystals for arthritis in conjunction with a chakra-balancing meditation can bring balance to the pain and strength we need.

If you feel emotional or depressed one week, use crystals associated with your heart or crown chakras. If you feel an imbalance in pain, focus on your root and sacral chakras.

By taking time to bring all seven chakras into alignment, you build a solid axis from which to focus energy on healing.

Use With Therapeutic Treatments

A doctor will have many methods to help you find relief from arthritis pain. Often, this will include spending time resting your joints.

You may be told to apply heat or ice to your arthritic joints to calm inflammation and pain. This is a great way to invite crystals into your physical healing processes.

While applying a warm or cold pack on your body, you can place crystals on top or between the pack and your skin to let their healing vibrations help.

Or try a steamy crystal bath. Steep your crystals for arthritis as you fill your tub with water. Add any essential oils or epsom salts. Carefully remove the crystals – they will be hot to touch – and set them around your tub as you soak and breathe in relief.

Final Thoughts

Arthritis might make you feel stiff, but it doesn’t mean you have to think rigidly about your pain. Using these crystals for arthritis will give you a positive outlook on life and invite relief to your aches and pains.

I would like to get the tumble crystal for my arthritis.

One of the properties we have to be vigilant with are the detox crystals, especially amethyst, as they can reduce, or stop medicine’s effectiveness. For those who are in need of analgesia for severe pain, especially morphine, it is a good thing to take things gently.
Also the magnetic stones are excellent for rebalancing the nerves and therefore best applied to the base of the feet. Hope this helps. Thank you for all the healing and joy you bring into our world 🙏
