Orgone energy is a concept developed by psychiatrist Wilhelm Reich in the 1930s. He believed it to be a universal life force that permeates all living things, similar to concepts like chi in Chinese medicine or prana in Indian philosophy. Reich claimed that this energy could influence physical and emotional well-being. To harness orgone energy, Reich created devices called orgone accumulators, which were designed to collect and concentrate this energy. Although his theories were controversial and not widely accepted by the scientific community, orgone energy continues to be a topic of interest in alternative health and spiritual circles.
