Question:I have seen many people wearing different types of colored stones. Are crystals effective in healing the body?
Answer:Crystal healing is an alternative healing technique which involves the use of crystals or gemstones for healing the body.

There are specific areas of the body called chakra (Hindu term designates spiritual energy), where crystals are placed. Every chakra is associated with specific colors. Hence, corresponding colored crystals are placed on those chakras or energy centers. Every crystal has unique vibrational resonance that is shape induced. Crystals are capable of interconnecting with human body' s complex electromagnetic system. They enhance the flow of energy within our electromagnetic system and put a positive effect on our body.

However, crystal healing is not proven scientifically. Some people argue that they have benefited from the use of colored stones. But, generally it is considered as the placebo effect of the crystal. It provides a charm and pleasant feeling where a person thinks that he is getting rid of problems.

If a person has stopped taking prescribed medication and is completely relying on crystal, it is very dangerous.
