Botswana Agate encourages treating the underlying causes of illness rather than the symptoms. It may be used to treat depression and stress and relieve sexual dysfunctions in both sexes.

Botswana Agate is beneficial in ridding the body of toxins and is believed to be good for the skin. It helps stimulate the immune and nervous systems and aids in brain oxygen assimilation for a healthy circulatory system. 

Agate enhances mental function by improving concentration, perception, and analytical abilities. It is beneficial for the eyes, and hollow organs such as the stomach, uterus, etc., and heals skin disorders and itching due to insect bites.

Agate is helpful to the heart and blood vessels. Wearing an Agate in the middle of the chest strengthens the cardiac muscle, and heals emotional disharmony that prevents acceptance of love.

A cold Agate placed on the forehead is generally effective in curing fever. (If the fever returns, however, consult a doctor.) Agate may also reduce the symptoms of epilepsy, and for some people guards against sleepwalking.

Botswana Agate is a comfort stone, beneficial in overcoming depression and strengthening during a grieving process. It helps alleviate obsessive thoughts and destructive mental patterns, and assists in overcoming fears, such as agoraphobia and panic attacks in crowded places. It encourages one to view the bigger picture in life and look toward practical solutions rather than dwelling on the reasons for a situation or assigning blame.

A crystal of possibility and hope, Botswana Agate encourages artistic expression and exploration of the unknown, while still maintaining logic and attention to detail that brings projects and ventures into reality. It also releases emotional repression and blocks fertility, by lending the knowledge that sexuality is a natural function and sensuality is the body’s appreciation of the fullness of life.

Agate stabilizes the aura, eliminating and transforming negative energies. Its cleansing effect is powerful at all levels. 

Botswana Agate, with its energies of pale red, gray, and brown, stimulates the Base Chakra. The Base, or Root Chakra, is located at the base of the spine and controls the energy for kinesthetic feeling and movement. It is the foundation of physical and spiritual energy for the body. When physically out of balance the symptoms will manifest themselves as lethargy, low levels of activity, low enthusiasm, and a need for constant stimulation. When its spiritual energies are out of balance, you will feel flighty, disconnected from reality, and distant. When the Base Chakra is in balance, the physical body regains its strength and stamina, and the spiritual energy is rekindled in the form of security and a sense of one’s own power. It often leads to independence and spontaneous leadership.
