Elizabeth Trattner, a licensed acupuncturist and integrative medicine practitioner, says that crystal-infused water carries the "vibration" of the stone. “Gem infusions are energy medicine," she explains. "They have been used in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years—other cultures have made gem elixirs as well. It wasn’t too long ago that acupuncture, reiki, homeopathy and sound therapy were all looked at as pseudoscience and now there is hard clinical evidence that these energetic medicines work.”
