Dear Alex-

Carmella says: "Appropriate stones for grounding the heart: rose quartz with obsidian would be the best vibratory gems for grounding the heart - also rhodochrosite or sugulite would be helpful. As for herbs, nettle, foti, dong quai, ginseng (eleuthro), burdock and ashwaganda would all be helpful for the spleen and kidney issues." Your best bet would be to come to the shop (3135 SE Hawthorne) or call (503-231-2831) and speak with Carmella directly. The shop also has wonderful workshops where you can learn all about herbal healing and healing with crystals. Stop by or call for info on workshops. Or check our website for a class schedule: www.hawthorneapothecary.com.

Cheers.
