It is a known healing practise to use semi precious stones and crystals to assist the body with flow of energy etc.

I actually do believe in the power of these stones and crystals and practise some healing and meditation.

Hermatite is good for personal magnatism, to attract positive energy and resist negative energy. A good thinking stone for a technical mind. Also good for cramps, blood disorders, insomnia, healing cuts and bones quicker.

Now I am the weird one!! Before anyone slags this method off though I just want to say that these stones have been proven scientifically to have electrical charge, it's also a fact that our bodies have complicated and various electical signals travel through our bodies. The idea of these stone working is purely to 'assist' with the bodies healing and flow of energy not a miracle cure where you hold one and suddenly everything is healed and perfect...

Open mind is better than a closed mind.

Lesley - this sounds a LOT like what I get - and I was gobsmacked to be told by a physio that this is linked to the sciatic nerve and nerve supply in the foot and leg.

Any chance you're sitting with your legs out straight, or it happens when you go to stretch your leg and foot whilst sitting?

Wu ming, I think you have hit the nail on the head. Sometimes it can be triggered by pointing my toes or stretching so that be part of the explanation.

Hermatite is good

Funnily enough, I was in the Chemist today buying some dental floss when I saw a load of these stones in the form of keyrings and bracelets on sale, so I bought one. Well it can't hurt to try.
