    I haven’t seen any scientific evidence that stones, such as crystals, have an affect on your body.

    But if it’s “mystical” then I guess it wouldn’t be something you can measure… What are the units for “mystical”? *giggle*

    Short answer… No

    “Mystical” things usually make scientists very suspicious! There is something called the “placebo” effect, where people genuinely feel that something has made them feel better even though there is no actual physical effect.

    Mystical effects are not easily measurable by science and so there is no scientific evidence for it that I am aware of.

    I didn’t think so. It is just superstition

    There are a lot of things that are sold that claim to improve your health. Like the powerbalance wristbands that claimed to improve your strength, balance and flexibility – which turned out to be a complete scam.

    Read about the powerbalance scam here: http://gizmo.do/fCrV43

    My advice is to find what evidence the claims are based on and read up on it yourself!
