What I keep learning as a skeptic, there is untold health benefits in nature (when nature is scientifically proven it is medicine), but this certainly isn't being shared by crystals or homeopathy. And there is a lot to learn from information generationally passed down, Even if it isn't scientific it likely has chemical or biological purposes, and needs to be isolated. Dozens to hundreds of generations know their shit how to keep alive, maybe just not the minutia.
