This is a type of igneous rock collected from the coast of Itoigawa City in Niigata Prefecture. Since ancient times, it has been known as “Tiger Stone” in traditional Chinese medicine and is an ancient stone with a history of therapeutic use. A local legend holds that carrying Hime River Medicinal Stone with you whenever you feel unwell can help restore your health. Because it contains trace amounts of radioactive elements such as radium (Radium) and thorium (Thorium), it emits radioactive noble gases such as radon (Radon) and thoron (Thoron). This is believed to potentially induce the “hormesis effect” (also known as the low-dose stimulation effect, referring to an adaptive resistance response triggered by specific substances), which in turn helps boost the body’s immune system.
Symbolic Meaning: Health, Restful Sleep, Enhanced Healing Power
