geopathic

Geopathic refers to a concept within pseudoscientific beliefs that describes supposed negative energies originating from the Earth. These energies are thought to be caused by various geological phenomena, such as fault lines, underground water streams, or mineral deposits. Proponents of geopathic stress believe that these emanations can affect living beings, particularly humans, leading to a range of health problems, including fatigue, sleep disturbances, and even more serious illnesses.

The study or practice of identifying and mitigating geopathic stress is often referred to as geopathy or geopathic stress assessment. Methods used to detect these supposed energies can include dowsing with rods or pendulums, or using specialized instruments claimed to measure electromagnetic fields. Once identified, remedies are suggested to neutralize or redirect the negative energies, such as placing certain crystals, altering the layout of a home, or using specific devices.

It is important to note that the existence and effects of geopathic stress are not recognized by mainstream science. Scientific consensus does not support the idea that geological features emit energies that negatively impact human health in the manner described by geopathy. The phenomena described are typically attributed to psychological factors, environmental conditions, or unrelated medical issues.
