Perhaps my favorite turquoise gemstone healing method that I use a couple of times a month when I get a headache is to wear as one on my head to help heal and to bring wisdom. I purchased a package of stretchy hair bands at Walmart but you can find them anyplace that sells brushes and such. Use one as a head band around your forehead. The pressure helps ease the headache and provides the perfect place to slip a turquoise gemstone underneath to hold the crystal in place. I sleep like this often so I wake up headache free in the mornings.
Anyone that has problems with their lungs, throat or from asthma, can hang a turquoise gemstone from a cord or chain so it hangs directly over the area causing the problem. This allows the gem energies to get as close as possible to the problem area and begin the healing work even faster.
Have problems with your hearing or with ear infections. Use the head band trick above to hold a large gemstone against the ear so the stone can do its work. NOTE: Make sure the stone you use is large enough it will not go inside your ear.
Those suffering from depression can sleep with a turquoise gemstone to help lift the depression faster. I can attest to this ability from experience in my mother's later years. When her health started failing she suffered with severe depression and the stones helped to ease her suffering.

For headaches, soak a cloth in the Elixir and place on your fore head till the pain goes away.
