ABSTRACT
Diamonds have always been arousing considerable interest in
people, and not just as precious gems. Legends about the intriguing
therapeutic properties of diamonds can be traced back throughout
the history of mankind. In ancient India, diamond was believed to
reduce fewer; to help in healing inflammations, infections, vomiting,
jaundice, and other liver diseases; to alleviate sclerosis, etc.; to
produce a favorable impact on the course of treatment of various
chronic diseases; to relieve fatigue and irritation; and to improve
metabolism, while the owner of a diamond would not suffer from
stomach pains and deterioration of memory until old age. Some
people traditionally believe that even thewater intowhich this stone
had been dipped acquires and retains medicinal properties.
