Alternative Astro Remedies for Gemstones !
"On the basis of my deep astrological research, understanding & experience, i do not believe gemstones to be the correct or effective astro remedy. Instead, right actions according to the planet's astrological energy would be more effective astro remedy.
Gemstones were mentioned in Ayurveda and to be used in accordance with Vedic Astrology to achieve some health benefits but with time, gemstones are misused and forcefully made important part of Vedic Astrology for extra commercial benefits. And yes even if famous people wear gemstone then it does not mean that gemstones are beneficial, it is just due to lack of knowledge & misleading information they wear it.
