Gems are one of the eight medicinal substances in Tibetan Medicine. In Tibetan culture, jewelry and wearing gems is very important. In part, jewelry in Tibetan culture is worn to decorate and beautify. It is also used to display social status and standing. However, the origin of wearing gems comes from its knowledge and application in medicine which is based on balancing the constitution and health of the individual. Depending on the health of an individual, certain gems were applied and suggested to wear on certain points to help restore the health, for preventative measures, and to protect against provocation and invasive energy.
