*On a personal note on Optical Calcite, I had a dog who had a corneal abrasion on her left eye and the vet had her on 4 different eye drops in an attempt to save her eye. I placed 4 pieces on top of her crate in all for corners and left them. Her eye did heal and yes, I know it was aided by the drops, but I firmly believe this crystal helped as well because healing was much quicker. Please know though, this is my personal experience and you should always seek the help of a medical professional in any situation caused by illness or injury.

Selenite is such a soothing stone with a low vibration that is provides a calming effect in its environment. It is often used for protection and bringing in divine energy into your house, but it is also an amazing stone for helping with headache pain. Selenite works by helping to unblock anything energy which has backed up in your energy field and in turn creates a much calmer state of being.

This list is only a small portion of stones that help with headaches and migraines. How you use them is entirely up to you, but you can place them directly on the source of ailment, lay them around your head, wear them, use a healing grid or meditate with them. When I get a headache, I use Amethyst as my go to stone and simply lay it on my third eye. Migraines, I use Lapis lazuli which I have cooled in the fridge or freezer and place directly on the spot if able to and I hold a piece of Iolite in each hand.
