Orgone energy is a concept introduced by Wilhelm Reich, an Austrian psychiatrist, in the 1930s. He described it as a universal life force that permeates all living things and is believed to influence physical and emotional well-being. Reich claimed that this energy could be harnessed and accumulated using specific devices, such as orgone accumulators, which are designed to collect and concentrate this energy. Despite its popularity in some alternative health circles, orgone energy lacks scientific validation. Mainstream science considers it a pseudoscience, as there is no empirical evidence supporting its existence or effects. Critics argue that the claims surrounding orgone energy are not based on rigorous scientific methods.
