Labradorite treats disorders of the eyes and brain, stimulates mental acuity, and relieves anxiety and stress.  It regulates metabolism, balances hormones and relieves menstrual tension.  Labradorite treats colds, gout, and rheumatism, lowers blood pressure, and aids in digestion.


Spiritual
Labradorite can help you with determining your destiny and also in achieving it. It helps to facilitate changes that are beneficial and assists you in knowing the "right time" for things within your inner self. It promotes a better understanding of intuition, mysticism and psychic wisdom. Labradorite also inspires one to bring the teachings of other worlds to this world for the benefit of humanity. [6]
