Human cultures have long associated Hematite with blood because of the deep red color of its streak. The root of the name Hematite is the Greek word for blood, haima. This has given rise to much of the healing myths that surround Hematite today.
Physical
Healing
As mentioned above, mineral and crystal healers associate
Hematite with blood and use it in their rituals for
treating blood-related illnesses such as hemophilia,
anemia, heart, kidney and liver diseases, cardio-vascular
weakness, menstrual cramps, and nose bleeds. They also
recommend it for use in treating the stress of jet lag,
birth and surgery, tumors, insomnia, leg cramps, nervous
disorders and fevers. Hematite was also a Native American
remedy for dental problems, pimples, canker sores and
alcohol abuse.
Mental
Healing
Crystal healers credit Hematite with the ability to bring
about a calm mental state, improve memory, mental focus
and concentration, bolster self-confidence, and increase
the effectiveness of logical processes of the brain.
Considered by followers of the New Age to be an excellent
stone for treating mental stress, Hematite has a
reputation for helping people bring order to mentally
chaotic situations by drawing tension out of the body,
neutralizing negativity and releasing anger. They also
recognize its power for increasing mental function and
believe it can improve memory, mathematical processes,
logic, creativity and mental dexterity. Finally, it is an
excellent aid in meditation, recognized by healers for
calming the mental state, tuning the consciousness and
increasing the pathways that lead to inner knowledge.
