Bloodstone dipped in cold water and applied to an afflicted area is highly
beneficial in staunching blood flow, particularly nosebleeds. Keep the stone
wet and re-dip as necessary. Bloodstone water, made by the indirect method
or by letting the stone soak in demineralised water overnight, relieves
varicose veins and haemorrhoids. Bloodstone is also thought to reduce lower
back pain and relieve mosquito bites.
Bloodstone Emotional Healing Energy
Bloodstone carries a tremendous power to ground one fully in the body, in the
here and now, and to enhance one’s capacity to function with strength,

extreme adversity, and helps those who have been bullied or abandoned by
others to regain their connection to the Divine, letting them know that
loneliness and isolation are mere illusion. Bloodstone teaches that chaos
often precedes transformation and guides one in knowing when it is
appropriate to strategically withdraw from situations, and when flexibility and
taking right action will help one remain true to one’s own path. Bloodstone
calms the emotional body, dispels confusion and enhances decision-making,
nourishing feelings of worth, self-confidence and self-sufficiency. [Simmons, 74]

to overcome any distress or anxiety associated with re-alignment of these
energies. This stone is particularly stimulating to the Base and Heart
Chakras.
The Base or Root Chakra is located at the base of the spine, and controls
the energy for kinaesthetic feeling and movement. It is the foundation of
physical and spiritual energy for the body. When physically out of balance the
symptoms manifest themselves as lethargy, low levels of activity, low
enthusiasm, and a need for constant stimulation. When spiritual energies are
out of balance, one may feel flighty, disconnected from reality or distant. Red
crystal energy is used to clear blockages and re-balance the Base Chakra. In
balance, the physical body regains its strength and stamina, and the spiritual
