Crystal healing is a pseudoscientific alternative medicine technique that uses semiprecious stones and crystals such as quartz, amethyst or opals. Adherents of the technique claim that these have healing powers, although there is no scientific basis for this claim. In one method, the practitioner places crystals on different parts of the body, often corresponding to chakras; or else the practitioner places crystals around the body in an attempt to construct an energy grid, which is purported to surround the client with healing energy. Despite this, scientific investigations have not validated claims that these "energy grids" actually exist, nor is there any evidence that crystal healing has any greater effect upon the body than any other placebo; for these reasons it is a pseudoscience.
Precious stones have been thought of as objects that can aid in healing — in a practice known as lapidary medicine — by a variety of cultures. The Hopi Native Americans of Arizona use quartz crystals to assist in diagnosing illnesses. Both Pliny the Elder and Galen claimed that certain crystals had medicinal properties. In Europe, the belief in the healing powers of crystals (and in particular crystal amulets) persisted in to the Middle Ages.The alleged medicinal properties of precious stones, as well as other powers they were believed to hold, were collected in texts known as Lapidaries, which remained popular in Medieval and Early Modern Europe until the 17th century.
Crystals are a mainstay in the toolkit of any spiritually woke millennial. You’ll find them littered across work desks, upon bedside tables and nestled in cross-shoulder-worn bumbags. Victoria Beckham’s AW18 wide-leg trousers even included a secret pocket designed to carry the trusty stones. And now their healing properties are being put to work during beauty treatments, where they’re smoothed across skin for supposed energetic benefits.
