Heartmath Institute
The Institute of HeartMath is an organization which promotes a form of energy medicine predicated on their own research that claims the human heart has its own memory and emotions and emits "energy". This energy is claimed to be measured and displayed by electronic devices which are sold by the organization.[1]
In December 2014 the UK National Health Service in Lanarkshire halted referrals for treatment using Heartmath which had been provided by a regional homeopathic hospital, saying that no systematic review or meta-analyses could be found.[2]
Steve Novella has written that the evidence for Heartmath is no more than a fabrication, constructed around electromagnetic noise registered by the devices used. It's "a tale woven from intertwining threads of pre-scientific superstition and some modern jargon and concepts".[1]
