Gold’s long history of use by mankind has given rise to a great number of healing myths. No doubt, Gold’s monetary value, which wells from a human lust for gold that is almost archetypal, has amplified the powers that healers attribute to the metal. That New Age healers call gold, "the Master Healer" is of little surprise considering how the desire that gold inspires approaches worship of the metal. Gold’s lack of toxicity and its scientific properties of incredible malleability and ability to conduct energy, while remaining resistant to wear and corrosion, make it highly useful for Medical Science. Medical uses of gold based on science have included the treatment of Arthritis, dental fixtures, and more.
