Shungite is a rare black stone made of up to 99 percent carbon. It’s mainly found in Shunga, a village in Karelia, Russia.
Since ancient times, shungite has been used to purify water. This is due to its alleged activity against bacteria and viruses.
A 2017 study also found carbon from shungite can remove radioactive compounds from water, and in 2018 a study states that shungite can filter water by removing contaminants and organic substances like pesticides.
Water, infused with shungite, has been known to treat allergies, sore throats, asthma, gastric issues, arthritis, kidney problems, liver problems, gallbladder issues, autoimmune disease, pancreatic dysfunction, and chronic fatigue.
All 7 chakras can benefit from the use of shungite, which is beneficial in detoxifying the body and ridding the mind of negativity, while contributing as an aura cleanser.
