The Science behind Crystals
The use of crystals as healing mechanisms has been around for thousands of years. But do they really work?
Crystals have been used as a healing force for thousands of years. In fact, the use of crystals as healing mechanisms dates back between 6,000 and 10,000 years ago, (Peterson, Gordon, 2022 and Walters, 2021). In the UK, Archeologists found evidence that Amber was used for protection, while in Ancient Egypt, crystals such as Lapis lazuli, Turquoise, Carnelian, Emerald, and Quartz were found to have been used for medicinal and ritual purposes to ward off negative energy and illnesses, (Peterson, Gordon, 2022 and Walters, 2021). Since the use of crystals as an alternative healing method has been around for so long, they have to work, right? Well, the answer is a little complicated.
