Wands are the traditional tools of healers and shamans, they have the ability to focus energy around the tip. The healing ability is vastly expanded when intent is applied - when using a wand you are chanelling universal energy through your body, and focusing it with the crystal. The wand amplifies and directs the energy into the patient.
