It is one of many “new age energy healing” techniques and closely related to eastern mystical philosophy. It even calls itself acupuncture without the needles. `nuff said.
In common with ALL of them…there is no good quality evidence to show it does anything (good quality means a large trial, randomized, double blind control study published in a well respected peer reviewed journal)
