Crystal therapy

...

Crystal therapy for autism involves the use of various crystals and gemstones believed to have healing properties that can help manage symptoms associated with autism. Practitioners of crystal therapy assert that these stones can influence the body's energy fields to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. However, it's important to note that there is no scientific evidence to support the efficacy of crystal therapy for autism, and it is considered a complementary or alternative treatment rather than a conventional medical practice. Methods of use:

- Wearing Crystals: Jewelry like necklaces, bracelets, or rings.
- Carrying Crystals: Keeping small stones in a pocket or bag.
- Crystal Grids: Arranging crystals in specific patterns to focus their energy.
- Meditation: Holding or placing crystals nearby during meditation sessions.
- Elixirs: Infusing water with crystals (careful attention needed to ensure safety).

There is no empirical research supporting the effectiveness of crystal therapy for autism. Any perceived benefits may result from the placebo effect or other psychological factors. Some crystals can be toxic if ingested or improperly handled.
