Epidote is an excellent stone for attunement with nature and her healing qualities. A simple, calming, grounding, “back to Earth” vibration; good for those living in cities. Balances and stabilizes energy flow in the body. Increases one’s vitality and optimism. Enhances the healing/recuperative processes of the body. Helps one to better utilize/assimilate the energies from other stones (as in stone healing layouts). Facilitates better assimilation of nutrients.

Caution: It is not recommended to use this in any type of elixir as it does contain copper which can be toxic.

Advanced Search Help

+ : A leading plus sign indicates that this word must be present in every object returned.
- : A leading minus sign indicates that this word must not be present in any row returned.
By default (when neither plus nor minus is specified) the word is optional, but the object that contain it will be rated higher.
< > : These two operators are used to change a word's contribution to the relevance value that is assigned to a row.
( ) : Parentheses are used to group words into subexpressions.
~ : A leading tilde acts as a negation operator, causing the word's contribution to the object relevance to be negative. It's useful for marking noise words. An object that contains such a word will be rated lower than others, but will not be excluded altogether, as it would be with the - operator.
* : An asterisk is the truncation operator. Unlike the other operators, it should be appended to the word, not prepended.
" : The phrase, that is enclosed in double quotes ", matches only objects that contain this phrase literally, as it was typed.
