The remedial astrology which is a part of Indian Vedic astrology helps a person by various means to come out from the effect caused by the malefic planets. As a part of remedies in astrology, gemstone remedy also plays a major role. Every planet is associated with a gem and a sub gem which is believed to receive beneficial influence from the planet of that gem.
The principle behind the remedies through gems is very simple that when a planet is positioned in a weak place and if it is also beneficial and auspicious in the natal chart of a person then such a planet should be made strong by the gems of that particular planet. As mentioned earlier each planet is related to a particular gemstone. In the Ayurvedic field of science the powder extract or the bhashma which is got by the crushing of the gems is used in treating various diseases because of it high medicinal values and features.
So when it comes to astrological purposes the gemstone is either worn as a ring or a pendant and it is always designed in such a way that the bottom portion is open so that the gemstone touches the body except for diamond. Some experts in the field of ancient Vedic astrology like Varahmihir and Brihat Samhita stated that a gem having a good luster, purity and clear-color and without any flaws ensure good luck and protection for the wearer. When gemstones are used in astrological remedies it is considered for two major purposes. The primary purpose is to enhance or influence a particular ray or color effect where the gemstone acts like an amplifier.
This is mainly based on the fact that during Rig Veda, people were made to use the seven gems so as to gather the Sun rays into one's own body.The second purpose of the gemstones in astrological remedies is that they act as cosmic filter protecting our body from the harmful rays that is trying to enter. We all know that our body gets affected by diseases only when there are deficiency and the gemstones have the capacity to act as a supplement thereby enhancing the general health and lifestyle of a person. But great care should be taken before opting for a gemstone as an astrological remedy for a wrong selection may lead to harmful side effects. The selection of appropriate gemstones can be best achieved only by a competent astrologer who is an expert and has a thorough knowledge in the concerned field. The quality of the gemstones should be good and there should be no flaws.
The original gemstones really work wonders but however these days with more of commercialization it has become very difficult to get the original ones and there are again only lucky people who make their way.The gemstone market today has lot of fake or imitation gems which is so close in resemblance to the original ones and becomes very difficult to identify the right gems.
