Some beaders like to wash their lava stone beads bracelet with water and a little soap to remove the scent of a previous application of oil and perhaps dirt or grime. It is completely fine to wash your stones, our only reminder is to rinse it completely after because the stones may take on the scent of the soap that you used.
Should your lava beads take on an unnecessary or unwanted scent, simply rinse it again and gently pat dry. Use absorbent fabric to pat dry your beads. Since these are technically stones, unless the exposure to water is constant and/or extreme, there shouldn’t be any damage to it at all.
It is also fine to wear your lava beads when washing dishes and other normal, day to day activities. Don’t mind it too much – it’s fairly hardy, and it will continue to diffuse any oil you’ve added to it even if it gets a little wet, as in the case of washing dishes or washing your hands. Some beaders like to spritz their favorite perfume onto their lava beads, and this might be a good idea too if you feel that the scent of your lava beads dissipates when they get wet.
Essential oils
are also a good idea – especially if you can get into the habit of combining essential oils to create your very own perfume at home. Essential oils have distinct properties, and you can create blends that suit your personality and needs.
It all begins with recognizing what you are particular needs are when it comes to relaxing or energizing yourself and then tying these needs up with available essential oils. Normally, essential oil blends are allowed to cure for about a month before they are used as perfumes, but for the purpose of creating a special blend for a diffuser, you’re good with a day of curing.

Lava Stone Beads meaning?
Lava beads are made of basalt, a type of igneous rock, and are widely regarded in the New Age and energy healing circles as a vital grounding stone. Lava beads are associated with the base chakra and can be used to balance the energies of Taurus and Cancer people.
It is closely tied to the Earth subset in Chinese astrology, as well as the elements of Fire and the Earth. Like other grounding stones, lava beads are amazing when you are trying to accomplish the following:
- Dream work – Dream work refers to the process of eliciting different, possible meanings from dreams. A dream worker may apply the process to himself, or another person, depending on the need. Lava beads can help dream work in the sense that you can get clearer answers and interpretations because your base energies are more balanced, and therefore, your access to universal wisdom energies is also enhanced.
- Creativity – When we speak about creativity, we are not just talking about literal creative pursuits like painting, sculpting, writing poetry, or writing stories. Creativity plays a huge role in having a healthier and more rewarding life. It figures not just in obviously creative pursuits but also in a person’s romantic relationships, family life, professional life, and so on. To be creative also means a person is more abundant because he will have the motivation to explore more options in life.
- Communication – This is a huge problem for many people, but with proper grounding, it is possible to recuperate what was lost due to bad communication in the past. In the paradigm of chakras, a blocked throat chakra may be the cause of being “bottled up” all the time, so grounding your energies and removing excess energies caused by negativity is the way to go.
- Cleansing – Energy cleansing is the most basic procedure that involves the removal of negativity from your system. Of course, you will get better results by avoiding situations, people, and activities that cause negativity in your life in the first place.
