Crystal therapy is a complementary practice that uses crystals as part of relaxation and reflective wellbeing sessions.
It is not a medical treatment.
Crystal therapy sessions are typically calm and restorative, focusing on relaxation and intention rather than diagnosis or treatment.
You may lie down while crystals are placed on or around the body, often alongside guided relaxation.
Scientific evidence is limited. Crystal therapy should not replace medical or psychological treatment.
Crystals have been used symbolically across cultures. Modern crystal therapy is part of contemporary wellbeing traditions.
