Crystal Healing

The origin of crystal healing is unknown. However, this practice has been around for centuries. People have used amulets, magical stones, and gems all throughout history (though mainly in the eastern cultures). It is now making its way into the western culture, primarily in the New Age principles.
Crystal healing is a form of healing that uses crystals or gemstones. A specific crystal is said to direct the flow of energy to a person in a particular body part to bring balance, additionally, it can be worn, placed next to the bed or placed around during bath time.
There is no concrete scientific study or test that crystal healing truly works, however, Crystal healers argues that it truly works. People say they've been healed and feel better, but these cases are generally limited to personal testimonies. A lot of the scientific world has brushed these testimonies off as a placebo effect, selective thinking, wishful thinking or sympathetic reinforcement.

While there's nothing inherently wrong with crystals by themselves, conservatives do not agree particularly when it is used for healing or as a charm to keep you from harm. Allegedly this practice calls upon powers to heal that are not from God. People put their hope in a crystal to heal them, or even the "crystal healer", who "channel" and rely on the crystals to teach and heal. Unfortunately, they are relying on spiritual sources for the healing. We should also not rely on crystal healing alone for our illnesses or disorders. This thinking could be harmful to your body physically. For instance, if you stopped taking medication prescribed for your illness, because you have placed your faith in crystal healing, you risk dangerous consequences to your health.
