Crystal therapy, also called crystal healing or gem therapy, uses crystals, each selected for specific characteristics or wavelengths, to treat a wide range of mental and physical conditions. This approach is based on the belief that the body has an energy field that can be influenced by the placement of crystals on specific body points.

The British inventor Harry Oldfield developed electrocrystal therapy was developed in the 1980s. This technique involves the use of an electromagnetic generator attached to conducting tubes filled with specific types of crystals. These tubes are applied to the body, and energy is transmitted through them. It is proposed that various types of crystals in these tubes have different effects on the body. An electronic device may also be used as a possible way to detect areas of energy imbalance of the body. These areas may then be treated with electrocrystal therapy.

There is currently not enough evidence in humans to support the use of crystal therapy for any health problem.

Potential benefits, risks (including financial costs), and alternatives should be carefully considered.
