Jade pillows may not necessarily soothe the nerves, and titanium necklaces are hardly effective in treating cervical spondylosis.

Currently, some fashionable health products under the banner of "high technology" are very popular. For example, titanium chains for preventing and treating cervical spondylosis, turquoise and crystal bracelets that claim to "produce magnetic effects, soothe nerves, enhance luck, prevent computer radiation", jade pillows claiming to strengthen the body and help sleep, high elasticity socks claiming to "use nanotechnology to treat varicose veins in the lower limbs"...

However, the medical community and scientific community do not agree with these claims, directly criticizing them as "scams" and "pseudoscience". Experts pointed out that in fact, these are pseudo-health products that take advantage of people's superficial understanding of scientific knowledge, playing on the fringes, adopting a form of "psychological therapy", which is equivalent to a "placebo" for some patients with physical and mental illnesses. Doctors and science and technology workers said that when facing diseases and sub-health conditions, people should actively seek symptomatic treatment, adjust their living habits, believe in science, rather than pinning their hopes on illusory "pseudo-high-tech legends".
