Woo-Woo Therapy Probably Works

But probably not for whatever reason it purports

Skeptics call it Woo-Woo, researchers call it New Age, and practitioners call it all sorts of names: Energy Medicine, Healing Therapy, Holistic Health, Integrative Medicine, Mind-Body Medicine, Spiritual Healing, or Wellness Therapy.

Whichever phrase you prefer, new-age therapy is a catch-all term that covers a variety of alternative or complementary healing practices, virtually all of which lack scientific evidence to support their effectiveness.
