It is probably A. It's like when I take melatonin before bed - doctors say to take it like 4 hours before bed but I take it 1 hour before I fall asleep and it works lol

The best scientific explanation for why many people report improvement after wearing a certain jewelry is explained in option (A) some people may be experiencing the placebo effect.

The placebo effect occurs when people report that they are experiencing physiological or psychological changes due to a product that they use even though the product actually doesn’t contain properties that should create these changes. The placebo in this situation is the jewelry.
