Charm stones are said to have mystical or healing powers and are often gifted as lucky charms – for many special events or occasions to help avoid bad luck. Their history and uses are extensive: Indeed, the British Museum has a whole collection of good luck charms dating back centuries; President Roosevelt carried one in his jacket, as did Napoleon.

In Scotland, one charm stone (kept in the Royal Treasury) was blessed by Saint Columbia in 565 AD; Another, is preserved in the National Museum of Antiquities. Yet another, called Baul Muluy, was used many times by the MacDonald clan prior to battles in order to disperse their enemies and avoid bad luck in the battle.

In Iceland, charm-stones feature in the 12th century Gragas law-book as well as in Icelandic folk tales such as the Laxdaela. The Ancient Greeks used them too – as magic and tribal emblems. In the 14th Century Holy Land, Sir Simon Lockhart  of Lanark found the Lee Penny charm stone and brought it back to Scotland, where it was used for many years to cure fevers. It subsequently became Sir Walter Scott’s famous talisman. In Scandinavia, warriors carried amulets called ‘life-stones’ or ‘victory-stones’ to strengthen their hand in battle and avoid bad luck in campaigns.

The Native American Indians also used pebble charmstones. These  Indian charm stones had significant meaning and were use for healing rituals, and to secure a productive harvest. In California, the Miwok and Pomo Indian tribes used charmstones for spiritual ceremonies. To this day, there are still many such pebble charm stones on the bed of Lake Tolay. And in Asia, charm stones are used with the Shaligram Shilas in Hinduism, and by the Buddhists as the Cintamani Stone. The Maban Aboriginies of Australia also use them for many special ceremonies and events and they had many different meanings. But overall, they were used as a source of good luck or good fortune – the oginal lucky charm stones.

Product Details

What is our Health Band bracelet?

A Health Band is a decorative bracelet which can be given as a symbol of good health wishes. This one is handmade of waxed nylon thread using a type of macrame knotting that can be traced back more than 2000 years to Tibet in 500 BC. In some ways it resembles a friendship bracelet although, being nylon, it is much stronger. It can feel a bit hard to begin with, when first put on, but it is very tough and just fine in a bath or shower, etc. and will not easily be damaged by seawater. The drawstring means that it is adjustable to suit most wrist sizes.

Health bracelets such as this can have many symbolic meanings and uses but all our Health Bands ship with an inspirational information card entitled: “Be Healthy” (see photo) and so fulfil their primary task of being a Good Health bracelet . . . that is, a constant reminder of good health aims / goals and desires: It doesn’t make you more healthy per se . . it merely expresses a DESIRE to be healthy - a “representation” of good health practices and concepts and, as such, a powerful aide-mémoire to adhere to the principles of a healthy lifestyle wherever possible. It sits on the wrist - a subtle prod to the subconscious to say “Be Healthy today!” . . a great gift to pass on your good health wishes.

Our Health Bands are unisex so they can be worn by both males or females, being popular as much amongst young teenagers as well as with the older generation: An ideal gift to tell your wife, girlfriend, husband, boyfriend, mother, father, son, daughter, loved-one, or simply a friend or work colleague, just how much they mean to you . . in particular, with regard to their health. This is a present with real meaning.

Not just a gift

These bracelets also make great aide-mémoires from a PERSONAL point of view too, so you could buy one for YOURSELF as well - to help with your OWN good health goals.

Detail: This health bracelet is made of brown, black, beige and white knotted nylon cord (as used inside paracord) making it very hard-wearing. The drawstring means it is ADJUSTABLE and so suitable for most wrist sizes.
