  Nilli Stone: A Myth or a Medical Aid? نیلی پتھر: ایک وہم یا طبی معاون؟ نیلی پتھر کیا ہے؟ نیلی پتھر، جسے ہندی/اردو میں "نیلی پتھر" کہا جاتا ہے، ایک نیم قیمتی پتھر ہے جو نیلے رنگ کا ہوتا ہے۔ یہ خاص طور پر جنوبی ایشیا اور مشرق وسطیٰ کی روایتی علاجی روایات سے منسلک ہے۔ کچھ لوگ اسے روحانی اور طبی فوائد کا حامل سمجھتے ہیں اور اسے مختلف بیماریوں کے علاج میں مددگار مانتے ہیں۔ نیلی پتھر سے متعلق روایتی دعوے گردے اور پِتّے کی صحت میں بہتری کہا جاتا ہے کہ نیلی پتھر کا سفوف بنا کر کھانے یا تعویذ کے طور پر پہننے سے گردے اور پِتّے کی پتھری تحلیل ہوسکتی ہے۔ بعض متبادل معالجین کا ماننا ہے کہ نیلی پتھر کو رات بھر پانی میں بھگو کر اس پانی کو پینے سے گردوں کی صفائی میں مدد ملتی ہے۔ نظامِ ہاضمہ میں مدد کچھ لوگ دعویٰ کرتے ہیں کہ نیلی پتھر معدے کے امراض جیسے تیزابیت اور گیس کے مسائل کو کم کرتا ہے۔ اسے ٹھنڈک بخشنے والا پتھر سمجھا جاتا ہے، جو معدے کی جلن کو کم کرنے میں مدد دے سکتا ہے۔ ذہنی صحت میں بہتری کئی لوگ اسے انگوٹھی یا لاکٹ میں پہننے کو ترجیح دیتے ہیں، یہ مانتے ہوئے کہ اس سے...

Nilli Stone: A Myth or a Medical Aid? What is Nilli Stone? Nilli stone, also called "Neeli Pathar" in Hindi/Urdu, is a semi-precious gemstone with a bluish hue. It is often associated with traditional healing practices, particularly in South Asian and Middle Eastern cultures. Some believe it has metaphysical properties and can aid in treating various health issues. Traditional Claims About Nilli Stone People who believe in the healing power of stones attribute several health benefits to Nilli stone, including: 1. Improving Kidney and Gallbladder Health It is said to help dissolve kidney and gallbladder stones when consumed in powdered form or worn as an amulet. Some alternative healers suggest that placing Nilli stone in water overnight and drinking the infused water can aid in detoxifying the kidneys. 2. Aiding Digestion Some claim that Nilli stone helps with stomach disorders like acidity and bloating. It is believed to have cooling properties, which may help reduce gastric inflammation. 3. Enhancing Mental Health Many people wear it as a ring or pendant, believing that it improves focus, reduces anxiety, and brings mental clarity. Some astrologers link Nilli stone to calming negative energies associated with Saturn (Shani) in Vedic astrology. 4. Boosting Immunity Some folk medicine traditions claim that wearing or using Nilli stone can enhance the immune system, making the body more resistant to infections. 5. Helping with Skin Diseases In some cultures, rubbing powdered Nilli stone mixed with herbal oils onto the skin is believed to help with rashes, eczema, and other skin irritations. Scientific Perspective: Is It Effective? There is no scientific evidence supporting the health benefits of Nilli stone. Unlike minerals that have proven medicinal properties (like zinc or calcium), Nilli stone has no known biological effects when consumed or worn. 1. No Scientific Basis for Kidney Stone Treatment Kidney stones are formed due to calcium oxalate or uric acid accumulation, and their treatment involves medication, diet changes, or surgical removal. There is no proof that Nilli stone has any dissolving properties. 2. No Chemical Components Beneficial for Digestion Unlike digestive aids such as probiotics or antacids, Nilli stone does not contain any compounds known to help with digestion. 3. Placebo Effect in Mental Health Wearing gemstones may provide emotional comfort to believers, but this is more of a placebo effect rather than a genuine therapeutic benefit. 4. Astrological and Mystical Beliefs Many of the claimed benefits are rooted in astrology rather than medical science. While astrology influences people’s beliefs, it does not have empirical medical backing. Possible Risks of Using Nilli Stone 1. Toxicity Concerns Some stones contain harmful minerals like lead or arsenic. If Nilli stone is consumed in powdered form without proper analysis, it may pose health risks. 2. Delayed Medical Treatment Relying on Nilli stone instead of medical treatment for serious health conditions could lead to complications. 3. Fake or Artificial Stones The market is flooded with synthetic stones sold as real Nilli stone, which could further mislead people. Conclusion: A Misnomer or a Healing Aid? Nilli stone is largely a misnomer when it comes to health benefits. While it holds cultural and astrological significance, there is no scientific basis for its claimed medical effects. If you are facing any health issues, it is always best to consult a doctor rather than relying on gemstones or traditional beliefs.
