3 Crystals for Gut Health

Discover how to use three powerful crystals for gut health: citrine, carnelian, and amethyst.
Your body is an energetic system, and every organ is affected by the energy of emotions, thoughts, and actions. These top crystals for gut health focus on the solar plexus and sacral chakras, as most digestive organs are located therein.
Balance the digestive system using gentle, healing vibrations aligned with the energies of the digestive organs. Three of the most powerful crystals for gut health are citrine, carnelian, and amethyst.
Citrine
This translucent, pale-yellow crystal is the perfect crystal for gut health: helping to heal and balance the stomach, gallbladder, and intestines. Citrine can ease digestion, soothe stomach pain, and relieve acid reflux.
A sluggish liver overburdened by toxins is a primary cause of digestive issues, negatively affecting the functioning of all other organs. Citrine helps activate the solar plexus chakra, where the liver, gallbladder, stomach, and pancreas are located.
The solar plexus chakra is also where emotions are digested. It can become blocked due to anger, fear, and guilt, and from giving away personal power in toxic relationships.
The solar plexus chakra is the seat of intuition and gut reactions, and can be activated with the help of citrine crystal.
For maximum benefits, wear this gorgeous crystal as a pendant on a chain or carry it in your pocket to keep it close to the solar plexus chakra.
Carnelian
Another amazing crystal for gut health? Carnelian helps improve liver and gallbladder functioning to resolve digestive problems such as bloating, stomach pain, heartburn, constipation, or diarrhea.
Carnelian is said to stimulate and speed up digestion. The more efficient digestion is, the fewer toxic byproducts are produced, and the less burden that rests on the liver and kidneys.
Working with carnelian crystal helps activate and balance the sacral chakra, where some digestive organs are located. This chakra is connected to self-expression.
Without easeful self-expressions of ideas and feelings, tension can build in the body and cause blockages in energy flow. Digestive energy can become stagnant, causing imbalances in the stomach, liver, and gallbladder.
If the sacral chakra is blocked, exhaustion and malaise can take hold, weakening the digestive organs and causing sluggishness. The bright, uplifting energies of carnelian crystal help heal the sacral chakra by boosting enthusiasm and passion for life.
To stimulate digestion and enhance gut health, wear this crystal as a bracelet or place it on the belly while lying down.
Amethyst
Gut health is closely connected to lifestyle and stress levels. Anxiety and depression can be a key cause of digestive issues.
The serene, stress-relieving vibrations of amethyst crystal aid relaxation and peace of mind. Amethyst has an incredibly calming and soothing effect on digestive organs, especially the liver and intestines.
Meditating with an amethyst crystal will bring you to a whole new level of deep inner peace and relaxation.
Meditate with Your Crystals for Gut Health
- Sit comfortably in a quiet space. Breathe deeply three times.
- Take a crystal for gut health and hold it in your hands. Close your eyes and visualize a bright light radiating from the crystal and entering your belly. Feel the area glowing warmly.
- Now, visualize your digestive organs being purified and healed by this bright light. Allow a sense of deep peace to take over.
- Stay in this meditative state for as long as you like.
- Open your eyes and slowly bring awareness back to your surroundings.
