Healing Properties of Red Coral

Only a handful of gemstones can boast as extensive and potent healing properties as Red Coral. Being the gemstone of planet Mars, the ruler of the natural first house Aries of the Zodiac, the Pola Stone is an immensely powerful energizer and revitalizer of the physical and psychological self.
Red Coral balances the Root Chakra (Muladhara Chakra), the lowest energy center of the body. An underactive, overactive, or clogged Root chakra is very inauspicious as it acts as the base of the physical body and supports all other chakras over it. A weak Muladhara shows symptoms of under-confidence, lack of identity, anxiety, and frail physical health. On the other hand, over-active Muladhara results in sluggishness, a rigid personality too slow or unable to accept change and obesity.
Red Coral unblocks this chakra, removing stagnant or overactivity here, allowing a good, controlled flow of chi/prana/life energy throughout the body, enlivening the body and mind.
The most prominent effects of this red gem are felt in the digestive, muscular, and cardiovascular systems. Red Coral ensures effective digestion of food and efficient assimilation of nutrients. Strengthening muscles, Red Coral imparts strength to the body's limbs and amplifies athletic performance. The gemstone also controls Anemia and other blood-related issues, urinary disturbances, boils, and skin eruptions.
