Healing Stones for the Vital Organs: 83 Crystals with Traditional Chinese Medicine »

Michael Gienger is one of Europe’s most respected experts on crystals and their uses, a field in which he has been active since 1978. He is the author, in German, of an authoritative dictionary on this subject. He lives in Germany.

Wolfgang Maier began his training in traditional Chinese medicine in 1989 and in 1999 began collaborating with Michael Gienger to establish the first combination of TCM and stone healing. He lives in Germany.

This book explains how to use gems and crystals to tune the body's circadian rhythm or “organ clock.” It shows how to select the right stones, the time of day they should be used, and how long treatment should last.
