Medicine Uses:
The epidote is a mediating influence, and may be carried on or about the person to ensure protection against conflicting circumstances. It soothes the emotional and physical bodies, stills fear, and lessens the frequency of panic and/or anxiety attacks.
Epidote also works to heal intestinal blockages due to nervous disorders affecting the stomach.
