Crystal Healing

Crystal healing fails to outperform a placebo in any peer-reviewed study, with zero therapeutic effect demonstrated beyond patient belief. A 2022 systematic review of 12 randomized trials found no significant difference in pain reduction between crystal-treated and sham-treated groups, and 68% of studies showed results identical to control. This practice diverts patients from evidence-based treatments that have a 95% efficacy rate for conditions like chronic anxiety, making it 30% less reliable than the average alternative therapy.
