The white agate stone ranges in luster from translucent to opaque snowy white, with a rich and glossy appearance.
In Ayurveda white agate is associated with the Kapha dosha.
If you seek calm, grounding and stability in your life, white agate is a great choice. It is said to promote mental clarity and emotional balance.
During the Middle Ages, agate was used to make rosary beads and was believed to have the power to ward off evil spirits.
While everybody can benefit from wearing white agate, people with kapha disorders may want to wear it moderately.
Examples of kapha disorders include:
- Feelings of heaviness in the body
- Colds
- Phlegm
- Lethargy
- Drowsiness
- Excessive sleep
- Obesity
- Timidness
If you suffer from any of the above conditions, it is advised to wear a ‘heating’ stone that has opposite effects and helps increase heat in the body. Opt for carnelian stone.
