Living with Back Pain & Sciatca

Since an early age I had a weak back, the problem was how to deal with it and avoid pills at the same time. Having my back cracked in a car accident in 1991 didn't do much to help matters, besides the chiropractor and a heavy dose of painkillers I had a great fear of becoming addicted to pills to kill the pain.

Fortunately a move to a warmer climate with stable humidity was a factor in resolving some of the pain, as was my fascination with using gems and crystals for healing.

What I came up with research and testing was Smoky Quartz known as nature's painkiller, and Sunstone which besides it's pleasant appearance treats the sciatic nerve and and a number of other ailments.
