Crystals have been used since ancient times to heal the body, mind and clear our immediate environment or surrounding space.

​Crystals can be used to beautify and clear the energies of one’s environment, as tools for meditation or for fruitfully pondering on a dilemma or question and thus to obtain the answer as to the correct course of action.

There is vibrational energy associated with each crystal. This vibrational energy gives the crystal; its characteristic properties and these properties are tapped into to bring about healing in individuals or space clearing in an environment. ​

​Though not directly related to Crystal Healing, another concept that usually gets mentioned in the same breath is of Charmstones. So, what is a Charmstone you ask??

Well, a Charmstone is a mineral specimen believed to have special healing, mystical or paranormal powers or energy. The mineral specimen may either be naturally occurring or honed from a natural stone. In some cases, the specimen may be entirely manufactured as in the case of certain Mayan pottery finds.

For example, the Miwok and Pomo tribes of Northern California have left thousands of charmstones in the bed of Tolay Lake in Sonoma County. One hears charmstones being indicated by the Shalagram and lingam in the Hindu tradition and by maban in the indigenous Australian tradition. 

​One also finds mention of charmstone in the Vajrayana tradition, where Jigme Lingpa has written a treatise on it’s usage.  Charmstones were also used in prehistoric Native American ceremonies for various spiritual purposes such as securing a bountiful harvest.
 
Today charmstones are popular among certain counter-cultures in the Western society such as the New Age movement. Since the benefits of a charmstone cannot by proven thru usual scienetifc methods, belief in the powers of charmstones is criticized as being baseless and unscientific by scientists and medical professionals.

​Crystal healing is considered to be pseudoscientific.  Currently there are no scientific methods available to evaluate a crystal’s ‘healing energies’.  But this is the case with all energetic healing methods. For e.g. how does Reiki healing occur??

The so called scientific world views Crystal Healing as mainly due placebo effect, cognitive and memory biases.  Crystal Therapy can also be classified as a pseudo-science under a number of Stephen Carey's criteria. 

Thus far there are very few to no reviewed journals or published experiments regarding the use of crystal healing. This further strengthens the argument for it being a pseudo-science.

The other reasoning for not accepting Crystal Healing as a genuine method is that all scientific methods are open to ‘revision’ where as Crystal Healing techniques are usually mired in ancient beliefs, mythologies and other accepted but not proven theories. 
 
This brings up another important point. Usually scientists will study a particular topic if they are assured of large grants and sponsors for their project. 

​Companies will gladly support them, since they are looking to patent the research findings. BUT in the case of ancient healing techniques, since they cannot be ‘patented’, there is not much incentive for scientists to study them or decipher their hidden mysteries.
