The explanations others have given are plausible, but so far as I'm aware have not been tested thoroughly. I strongly suspect the science behind it is very similar in nature to that behind crystal healing amulets, herbal Viagra, and snake oil - viz., for a unifying explanation you need to look at the human sciences rather than the natural sciences.

This is a pompous way of saying I think it's rubbish. *grin*
