What are chakras?

They are defined as energy places in the body. Each of the chakras affects certain organs, positively or negatively. The chakras must be in balance and must function properly - issuing and receiving energy to keep the human body healthy. Energy flows through the meridians, which are the pathways that connect the individual chakras. There are 7 main chakras, several thousand secondary ones. If all chakras are in harmony, human life is also harmonious.

Although there is no scientific evidence for the existence of chakras, this does not require their automatic rejection. The form can be seen, for example, in placebo, which is an inactive substance formulated and used, for example, as a comparative treatment for a drug that is the subject of a clinical trial. Placebo can positively affect many diseases, especially psychosomatic diseases, either fully or only partially. It is essential that the patient trusts that the medicine has been given to him.
