Anyone tried crystal therapy?

Hi :hello:

I practice a few different complementary therapies and a friend called me yesterday to ask if I wanted to join her on a crystal therapy course in Sept. I'm interested, but I don't know alot about it. Its for two years and not cheap so really would like to know what sort of results you can get using it.

I wondered if any of you have tried it and found it helped?

Thanks :)

    My mum visits a crystal therapist and has done for a couple of years now. I confess to being a bit of a sceptic, but must say it has probably helped her.

    If the course is expensive, would it not be helpful to research the effectiveness of crystal therapy and what the demand would be?

    The NHS is also offering Crystal healing...

    .. it works. I don't know how it works but it does and I would well recommend going on the course.

    People WANT reiki, crystal healing... etc etc now because they are discovering that natural healing really works.

    Go for it.

    Make sure the crystals are ethically mined.

    There may be very few NHS places offering it for free, given the current climate of Trusts not funding therapy for eg macular degeneration until one eye has gone blind and the second eye is going blind, and the funding stuggle over a particular drug for breast cancer.

    I would far rather NHS money was spent on good care for elderly people, better treatment for prostate cancer which currently causes 22,000 deaths each year and effective strategies to reduce MRSA and CDiff.

    Sorry your having problems with the NHS Errata, but I don't want to get into a NHS funding debate. My friend called me out of the blue, I was thinking of doing a new course anyway and it sounded interesting.
