Wearing gemstones removes misery and diseases from one's life.

Some questions that generally dog ones mind is that wether wearing a gem remove afflictions and diseases from one’s life? Is the practice of wearing gemstone on person a religious process or is it ordained by religions? Or is it only a social habit? Or is it an expression of flaunting one’s riches?

Irony is, the thought process of human afflictions and diseases in Astrology is much profound and modern science will have to traverse long stages to equate that. According to Astrology, reasons behind the human ailments are not considered to be the bacteria alone, but also the effects of the actions in one’s lifetime. Also the sins acquired from the previous lifetime reappear during the present life in form of diseases, chronic wounds or misfortune. The Astrology give credence to curse, boon, blessings, prayers, and wearing of gemstones because of their innate invisible power which in often well acknowledge as divine actions. Hence, such prescriptions are recognised as remedies as, doing penance, mental or vocal repetition of mantras, rituals and rules, donations and pious activities during the lifetime. The tenets of these two disciplines are: If medicines through science could have cured all human afflictions then no body would ever have died in the society, and man would have become immortal today. However, that is not the case.

An earthen lamp can give the light if it has oil, pot and the wick. Similarly, a man will live as longs as his work during the lifetime ordains him the longevity. If his karma does not give enough good effects to the society his life wanes slowly. No amount of medicines, mantras, chants can save him from the death of his old age afflictions.
For the longevity of a man is assigned by God, a doctor cannot give him that. It is believed that the longevity comes from the world of God and a human can learn that only through studies of the planets.
If the planets give adverse effects to a human, the medicines do not act favourably upon him. The planets destory even the powerful qualities of the medicines. In such a situation it is advisable that one should try to appease the planets first and then go for the medicinal therapies.

That means, at the time when a disease starts manifestation, one should begin a therapy by taking medicines. If that does not work, then he should apply gemology or therapy by wearing gemstones to please the concerned planets or to apply the solar energines. And even after that if the situation warrants, he/she should try the mantra therapy, which is the foremost discipline in treating human ailments.
