Tradition versus medical evidence
A place described as healing in a religious or cultural tradition should not automatically be understood as providing a medically demonstrated treatment. Personal experiences of peace, awe, community or spiritual renewal are different claims from curing disease.
Why places feel powerful
Landscape, architecture, ritual, expectation, memory and social meaning can all influence how people experience a location. This makes sacred geography a rich subject even when supernatural explanations cannot be verified.
